How did you discover this activity?

TripShock was suggested to us by the condos rental agency. We were able to browse through several different options for activities then narrow down to what was available for the dates we were going to be there. It allowed us to be flexible and plan things at the last minute.

When did you book your tour compared to the departure date?

We booked most of our activities on the drive to Florida, so only 2-3 days ahead of time. It was awesome to find availability even though we didn’t plan ahead.

Why did you choose this activity?

My kids have wanted to go deep sea fishing for awhile. Since they are not experienced with fishing at all, I was hesitant to go out on a charter with a lot of people. Finding a smaller charter for just our family was perfect.

How did you get to the activity location?

We had driven in, so were flexible with the location. The one with availability was about 45 minutes away from where we were staying, but easy to find.

What was your experience with the activity’s staff?

The captain was friendly and knowledgeable. He did a great job or keeping us steady even in some pretty rough waters. The hand was great. He baited the lines, gave directions on reeling in the fish and was super friendly.

Highlights or memories you and your group will take from the trip?

We really had a great time. The captain and hand made the experience effortless and fun. We were able to spend a few hours out on the gulf, catch some fish and really enjoy the day. My kids are super excited to plan the next trip! This was a great short trip and perfect if you also don’t want a ton of other people around. There was a a fair amount of time getting out to the gulf, so we also got to watch for dolphins in the harbor and see the pelicans.

Would you recommend this activity to another group like yours? Why or why not?

This was a great trip for a family. Even though we didn’t have much fishing experience, they were able to explain everything and help when it was needed.
