FIVE STARS for Captain Blake!!…read more He is an excellent host who is knowlegeable about boating, the area, the eco system and the animals. Impressive! We made reservations from Texas and signed up for a 3 hour cruise. The time past quickly and we enjoyed every minute of it. TIP: Know before you go, that the closet bathroom is at the dock and it is a porta potty. I sincerely mean it when I say it's the nicest and cleanest porta potty I've ever encountered.

We had two kids under the age of 5 on board and Captain Keith was mindful of that the whole way. Not only did he navigate the chop safely, it was obvious he didn't want the kids to be scared or soaked. He kept everyone relatively dry the whole way. In addition to providing a great ride, Captain Keith shared some great fishing information as we were planning to fish from Cayo Costa. His information was very useful and he even gave us the 'shrimp' off his back. That's right, we couldn't find any live shrimp that morning to bring out so Keith gave us what he had in his live well which proved to be the necessary bait to catch fish that afternoon. We'll always book with Captain Keith going forward.

From answering my ridiculous questions, to showing me how to reel in my first catch, my day was so much fun! He took care of everything! You do not need any equipment or knowledge of fishing. We launched at 6 am and had a blast catching our bait! The sun peaked over the horizon and with breath taking views, we were off to our first spot. I am not kidding when I say that Captain Justin cast out a rod to get us started and less than 30 seconds later, I had a bite! All day long, the fish continued to find our hooks and when they slowed down, Justin had a new spot to take us to! If you are looking for an incredible fishing experience on an amazing boat, with the best captain around, then look no further. Native Salt Charters is of unparalleled quality!
