This boat could care less about you unless you are a local. Ive been on many trips over the years…read moreand i heard good things about this boat. But unless you are a local they could care less about you. You will not catch anything but tiny grunts if you dont bring your own bait. The captain kept moving the boat even tho we were catching grunts. It kept moving because the locals they cater too werent catching hogfish. This boat was on a hogfish trip and the saps paying 90 bucks to catch a few grunts are who pays for it. The mates were hustling but only for the local hogfish fishermen. Do yourself a favor and find a boat that actually cares about you. The boat wasent terrible, the galley was very run down. Nothing like the pics they advertise. Never ever again.

This is recent new ownership of the former Twisted Tuna. Service is very good by the wait staff. Food is hard to really rate bc it's been inconsistent at times since changing hands. I suspect the new owners have some staffing problems. Oysters are good, seared aha tuna items are very good. Some ahi tuna choices are not seared so be sure to ask for it seared regardless. The salads have been great. The margarita pizza very good (all but one time). When the new owners get everything running as it should, the restaurant will be even better than it was. The owners have been in the restaurant business for years with another 2Georges restaurant that is very popular in another location.

The ride to the Skyway Bridge was beautiful and the water and weather were all working in our favor. It was a relaxing ride and we saw a couple of pods of Dolphins. We felt we could reach out and touch them. As we got to the skyway and turned towards shore, the captain asked if we would like to sail, which we did for a while. It was spectacular. The catamaran was beautiful, clean, comfy and cozy. We were briefed on where to find the lifejackets and there was a small raft on the aft.

They are very skilled and go hands on to help you set up your rod & reel, give you tips and pointers, as well as take your catch off the hook for you so you don't get yourself cut up! They even clean and filet them for you!! If you're a skilled fisher they let you be to do your own thing. Not only are they super helpful but they are incredibly friendly, funny and entertaining! They gave us lots of ideas for things to do in the area also. Super great crew! If you slow down catching fish they will move to a different area to make the most of the fishing! We say a few dolphins swimming with us along the way also. I highly recommend this trip for single people, couples or the entire family. We met some great people (mostly locals) on the trip that we call family now! (Terry & Terrance) Drew & the rest of the crew were awesome. They cook breakfast & lunch! For a small fee ($4 to $5) you can buy breakfast sandwiches, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chips, snacks, soda, water and beer. We went in early May so we caught mostly grunts but several people caught hog fish as well. Your bait and tackle is included but they have frozen shrimp for an additional $5 if you want to fish for bigger fish.
