Me and my wife had never Gone fishing before. We did not have an idea how to handle a fishing pole. The mates/crew were so helpful and friendly and help us all the way around and we both ended up catching a fish.!!!!!!. I really truly recommend them we had a wonderful time! I work for a company that is worldly known for our superior customer service………all I can say that they match ours. Great job

Great day fishing with fantastic crew, didn’t set any records with the fish we caught but it was a terrific day

Worth every penny!

Klaus_O, Apr 2024

Amazing trip and great crew. Andrew bent over backwards to land my catch. Highly recommended!! And to witness the catch of a sailfish as well was breathtaking.

Good weather, bad fishing day, overcrowded boat

Ronny_V, Apr 2024

a lot of people on the boat ,53 (average is 20-30) no drift fishing as announced on web site , anchored fishing. bad fishing day but that is not the captains fault. Locals fishing on back on boat with different lure and own material, supported by "private deckhand" catching more fish. Thanks to our hard working deck hand.

Rough but awesome

James_A, Apr 2024

The ocean was ruff, we were advised and the crew Ace and Chelsea ( her first day) were very attentive and constantly helping any way they could. Fishing was OK what we did catch and kept was delicious. Ace was from Jamaica served in our US Navy and is a first class guy. Very knowledgeable. I would do this again with better sea conditions.

The captain and helpers...

Catherine_V, Apr 2024

The captain and helpers were not very friendly and easily annoyed by people needing help. Two of the 4 of us were extremely sick along with many others on the trip, but too be expected. There weren't many "keepable" fish. As the trip was ending and we were headed back to shore, the captain kept announcing how they work for tips, how much to tip divided by number of crew on the ship, all the forms of payment they accept, oh and again how they work for tips. Went on his tip spiel multiple times through the last 15 min or so of the trip, it was sort of rude, tbh.

Captain and crew were great! The fishing wasn’t terrific but the captain kept moving us to find a better spot!

Great Smaller Crowd=more fish!

Kim_B, Mar 2024

The view at night was beautiful!!!! Not as many people on boat. Got in later but well worth it. They will fillet any fish for you but where to cook I wasn’t able to find.

Great experience especially at night

Amy_P, Mar 2024

I caught a fish! Captain Billy was awesome and his Mates were extremely helpful and friendly and made us feel very comfortable and welcome and safe.

Amazing catch

Bryanna_H, Mar 2024

Wife caught a parrot fish and a trigger fish. Wish I caught 1 but maybe our 3rd time will be my charm...

Fantastic

Nikki_F, Mar 2024

Had an amazing time! Thanks for a great trip. The crew was amazing! Husband caught a couple fish. Jason & Nikki Ford - Newfoundland

The two young men that...

Dee_F, Feb 2024

The two young men that assisted us were Great. Courteous, well versed in their knowledge of fish species, fishing pole lines, always had a smile and a story to share. Although we had no fish to bring home for dinner- we caught fish- some not right size- some out of season - and a beautiful grey/ yellow fish with stunning blue lines throughout that was a protected species. It was a Great afternoon!

Family fishing trip experience

Mike_W, Jan 2024

My wife, kids, and I had a wonderful time. We had never done anything like this before. The mates were very helpful with everything from explaining how to use the equipment to baiting the books, to taking fish off the hooks. They explained to us what each type of fish was, if they were good to eat, and if they were of keepable sizes. They made sure the kids were taken care of and made sure we were comfortable with what we were doing.

Fun night fishing!

Michelle_V, Dec 2023

The mates, Gino and Andrew were great. Really helpful. We caught a bunch of fish and they even gave us extra (I think someone left without theirs). I definitely recommend this fishing trip.

Amazing experience

Heather_P, Dec 2023

This was our first time salt water fishing and my dads 1st time at the ocean it is definitely an experience that will never be forgotten.

Good times

Josh_L, Dec 2023

Buddy and I were down for a work trip and we always wanted to do night fishing for deep sea fishing. Great time all around, the crew Billy(Captain), Gino(First Mate), and Cole who had only been o the job for 3 weeks. Everyone did an amazing time. Well deserved tips at the end. Highly recommend if you havnt ever done it before.

Awesome experiance

Amber_W, Dec 2023

I loved ever second of this trip! It was purchased as a trip for my boyfriend but I enjoyed it just as much as he did. 10/10 recommend, and would do it again.

What a blast!!

timothy_s, Dec 2023

We had so much fun! We also got quite a catch! 18 fish between the 2 of us. Mostly Porgies that day, but we also got some Grouper and others. Great dinner eating them after we got home too! Captain Gary did a great job getting us out there safely and was a good tour guide as we passed all the multi-million dollar yachts on our way out to sea. He was also quick to react and move us to a different spot when the Trigger fish showed up and was eating our bait so we couldn't get the fish we wanted! We had plenty of instruction and help from Jeff and the other deck hands that were right there to assist with the catch as we reeled them in. Drift fishing is much different that what we are used to, but if you follow the instructions you will get some. We hope to come back to Ft. Lauderdale again and book this trip again! Not one disappointment with this at all! We would highly recommend this to all levels fishing experience people. I do recommend using something for motion sickness prior to this trip as the waves can be a little much. We used Motion-Eze and had no trouble! Thank you to Captain Gary, Jeff and the rest of the deck hands (new guy from MN too - sorry I can't remember your first name!!) This trip was a BLAST!!

Awesome fishing trip

Gianni_B, Nov 2023

Excellent experience. First mate Riley was outstanding. Very helpful and knowledgeable. The captain did a great job of finding fish

Fun

Melissa_H, Nov 2023

Crew was amazing! They were very attentive and helpful. They gave helpful advice on how to successfully catch our first fish.

Highly recommended experience!

Paula_H, Nov 2023

The crew was fantastic, everybody was very friendly and patient with us, since we didn't know much about fishing and they helped us numerous times. We all caught fish and it was a great experience for me and my boys. At the end, they cleaned our fish, and we were able to take home and cook. Highly recommended!
