The most memorable part...

Steve_F, Mar 2024

The most memorable part was the Redfish and how hard it fought, or the dolphins swimming around the boat at the end.

Naples sea fishing

Nigel_L, Feb 2024

10 species of fish caught. Dolphins, sea eagle and ospreys seen. Great day. Highly recommend. Skipper Paul was brilliant.

Easy going, family friendly, hungry fish.

Adam_S, Mar 2022

Extremely happy with our time out on the water. Everything went better than expected. We had our 1y.o. and 3 y.o. with us and they were both happy and entertained. Plus boat snacks were a huge hit with them

Fun experience, but not much fish

Anna_P, Jan 2022

We took 4 hour boat for a family of 5, and we were pretty sure that between 5 of us with prior fishing experience, will catch a lot of fish. The experience was great, captain had the equipment ready and told us many new facts about fishing, however all the fish we were catching was too little to keep. We had to let go almost all of it and ended up with only 4 fish that just made the 12 inch size to keep. Captain took us to different spots, but it didn’t help much. It was way below our expectations as we had much better catches in other places in the past, so don’t have your expectations too high.

Great all around experience!

John_G, Jul 2021

The captain was great. We hit many different spots and caught fish at each place. Also saw dolphins and the captain as able to get the dolphins to swim along side the boat. It was a great experience!

Great experience.

Fishing with the dolphins!

Jeffrey_H, Mar 2020

Awesome experience with Captain Paul! He was very helpful and experienced. We caught a lot of fish. It was fun watching dolphins swim right next to us as we fished. I would highly recommend this!
