    Truth S.

    I can't even begin to say how great this trip was for my family! We caught fish in the gulf! We went to the sand bars and swan! We saw dolphins jumping and sea turtles swimming! We stopped at tikki bars on the water! Everything at our request to 4 HOURS ...amazing how the captain has his time management! On Top of all that he looked out for a Single dad and military Veteran with the price!! If you're in town this is a must do!! Thank again for an amazing time and the kiddos loved it!

    See all

    Captain Chet is the best! We wanted to see manatees and he ensured we did. We also saw dolphins!

    We had a great time. Captain Chet was awesome and knew all the great local spots. We will be booking another trip next year.

    Captain Chet was great! Friendly, personable and made sure that everyone had a baited hook and catching fish. We highly recommend him!

    Captain Chet went out of his way to ensure that we all were catching fish and also that everyone's poles stayed baited.

    Chris fit right in with our group of laid back new comers to salt water fishing…read more Our group of 6 was set to go out 10 miles offshore, but the weather was bad and Chris advised that we could go, but no one would have fun with that much pitching up and down. We still had a great time in Sarasota Bay. The group caught about 10 fish per person (catch and release.) I knocked my beer overboard and he had everyone pull their lines up, repositioned the boat, and we picked the can out of the water lest it harm or pollute. That was classy. His boat was decked out with good fish finding equipment. As soon as he saw we were out of a sweet spot, he repositioned the boat and put us back on the fish. We cruised up to Dolphins hunting. At his low prices, and with his boat (fast and decked out) you're insane not to try him. Admittedly, he doesn't have a cabin cruiser type boat, but the point is to fish the waters, not crunch Cheetos in the air conditioning. When you have to pee, just pee off the back (sorry girls - actually, Chris would probably let girls pee off the back of the boat.) We didn't keep any fish, but the processing station back at the dock looked clean and I think Chris would process it for you, or the bait shop would... unsure. Ignore all of the above, and just have fun talking with him...

    Super nice guy! Captain Chris is friendly, helpful and a pleasure to go out with. The first spot he…read moretook us to we instantly started pulling fish out of the water. While in retrospect I would have preferred paying a little bit extra for the deep sea fishing option, we all still had a blast fishing the the bay area and caught some fun fish in the process. The one caveat I'll mention is that Chris is a smoker. If cigarette smoke bothers you excessively, I'd say perhaps consider going elsewhere (and definitely asking the captain of any vessel you intend to charter if they're smokers, too). Also, you should probably pop a Dramamine before going out. Since its a smaller boat (27' or so), those waves can play a number on you. 12 hours later, and I still feel like I'm rocking back and forth...
