After…read morereading reviews that staff was rude, I was worried I was walking into an unpleasant experience. Totally not true. The first time we stopped was just to look, and get bait. We ended up getting a small thing of shrimp out of the vending machine the first night. However everyone we encountered was super nice. After our morning boat trip, and a serious nap we stopped here for some gear and bait. Everyone was so nice, and even the bait go at back was on point. Well stocked.

We checked out with an item clearly marked a certain price. Upon leaving we realized we were charged $6 more than what it was marked. I brought it back in and she said it was incorrectly marked and wouldn't allow the marked price. We still took the item as it was something we were needing. But this is not an ethical way to conduct business.

Went fishing with my husband, 2 sons and extended family for an 8hr trip in June. Red snapper…read moreseason. Had a blast almost everyone was hooking snappers left and right. We went to 3 different spots. I wish we could have switched to try some sharks but I think they were waiting to max out on snappers and there were a few people not catching anything so we never did. Overall we had a super fun trip. We went back last weekend with my husband, son, and daughter. No one else had signed up for the 8hr trip so we got bumped to the 4hr. We were a little disappointed but I guess you can't control those types of things. Headed out about an hour. As soon as we dropped our lines me and my son's gf hooked bonnethead sharks! After that my hubby, and daughter caught one each. We hooked some bait fish and my hubby hooked a Mangrove Snapper. Only my son didn't catch anything. We all still really enjoyed ourselves! We can't wait to plan another trip! Both trips, all the guys were super nice and helpful. Sometimes you have to wait a bit if everyone's catching at the same time, but they try to get to you as fast as possible to unhook your fish and rehook your line if it snapped. Thanks for making both trips extremely enjoyable!!! We'll be back!

At each location the captain( overweight dude w long ponytail) kept drifting and couldn't stay on top of the fish which I believe resulted in us not catching very many fish. At one point as I was lying down in the passenger area as we were heading back I saw the captain run down into the men's restroom twice leaving no one in the wheelhouse as the boat was running! That's what a milk jug is for! Gonna try Fisherman's Wharf next time. As you can see in the video provided the fish was very slim pickings due to the captains inability to stay on top of the fish! He kept drifting!

You drive through in one direction with plenty of parking available throughout the park. It's wheelchair accessible and dog friendly, which I really appreciate. There's a boat launch with trailer parking and docks, fishing areas, a pirate ship playground with a splash pad, covered picnic tables, an observation deck, a basketball court, and a large covered pavilion with a kitchen and bathrooms. The city hosts events there, and it's also available for private rentals. I love stopping along the waterfront to watch the dolphins play and ships sail in and out of the port.

9 hour deep sea! Definitely the best deep sea party charter I've been on in Port A. Even though I…read moreonly caught one legal sized snapper. Pro's - easy booking online. The boat was great, Nice snack bar with clean seating area and AC. The crew was friendly and attentive. Snack bar takes CC or Cash. There was plenty of drinks to choose from as well as some sandwiches, chips, pickles and candy. Con's - absolutely no outside food or drinks allowed (they check your bags), however the snack bar was reasonably priced. The boat can be over crowded causing lines to tangle. the boat does not go to any rigs -but they do go to wrecks and reefs. Advice, be sure to sit in the back of the boat on your way out to fish or else you will get drenched. Take pictures of your string and snapper numbers so there is no confusion. Take pics of your fish so there are no questions about if it is yours or not and watch for your your fish when you dock and they are being distributed. One of the young fisherman had one of his prize catches handed to the wrong person and they took it knowing it was not theirs. :( He was so sad. Anywho! This has by far been the best party charter to date and we will

Fishing guide urinated off the side of the boat twice. He didn't have shrimp as bait because he was allergic. I would not recommend this charter. Pick another.

More knowledgeable for the $650 price tag.

It was a nice boat with an air conditioned place to rest. They provided everything including bait and snacks and sandwiches and drinks. They were very friendly and made it feel like you were out with friends showing you how to fish. The only negatives were that I had underestimated how long we would have to spend traveling to and from the fishing spots. We didn't seem to spend an awful lot of the 6 hours actually fishing. And my oldest son had a big one on the trolling line and it broke the line. He felt like he needed more instruction on what to do. But that's ok. We got our limit on snapper and everyone got to catch something.
