The trip surpassed all of our expectations! Capt. AJ and Denny worked hard to make sure everyone was involved and having fun. When a few of our crew were feeling a little seasick from the choppy waters, they had ginger ale and saltines on hand, as well as peanut M&Ms for the kids. We caught over a dozen fish - mostly, mackerel, including a 30 lb King Mackerel that my 8 year old daughter reeled in. What a blast! Capt. Britni cleaned and delivered our fish within hours! We made some amazing fish tacos that night, and we brought several pounds home to Ohio! We'll definitely be fishing with you all again! Thanks so much!

He grew up on the water down at wrightsville so he was more than qualified to show us around all of his personal favorite spots--they were definitely hidden gems I doubt we would have gotten to see with any other company!

If you are on the fence about which company to choose, seriously don't look any further. Well worth the money for a very personalized experience.
