More: Went out on a 3-day charter with three other guys (two old friends, and the brother-in-law of one of the old friends, who is now a new friend), making my first deep-sea trip at the age of 59. Definitely a bucket-list kind of thing. Captain Johnny Greene's expert knowledge of this fishery is peerless -- and not only is it a fun fishing trip, it's a masterclass on how a top professional's decision-making works. I loved catching fish -- we went back to the dock with full fish boxes -- but what really made the trip was being out with a captain who really loves what he's doing, wants to share that with others, and has an equally fantastic crew making it happen on deck. As to the crew -- Jake, Gabby, and Grady are an amazing team -- and each one qualified as a captain in their own right . They're great coaches for the newbie (like me) and expert support for the highly-experienced like my friend who organized our trip. They are super-efficient and always getting something done. It was fun watching them do their thing... and they cook and serve great food! Go out on Intimidator -- it'll be a great fishing experience for the novice and expert alike. Just be careful of one thing -- I crossed off my "Go deep sea fishing" bucket list item, only to add "Go do it again on the Intimidator!" to the list...

We caught just the amount we wanted, and had time to enjoy some leisure time at "The Island". I'm so appreciative of the lenience towards our groups mood and letting us enjoy the day catching yummy fish, relaxing, and making memories with friends. We will be back for sure and look forward to many more. Thank you for allowing us to all have a great time together and thanks for joining in on the fun with us.

Mary was our tour guide, and she was truly something special. I wish I remembered the captain's name because he was so kind and welcoming too, but Mary completely made the experience unforgettable. She went out of her way to connect with every single group and person on the boat, and especially the kids. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in every little interaction. My son is 3 and usually stays to himself, but Mary picked him up, let him ring the bell, and everyone cheered for him--it was such a special moment that I'll never forget. As a mom, that meant everything* to me. The whole experience was so fun and interactive--we were waving or dancing every time we passed another boat, laughing nonstop, and just genuinely enjoying every second. The vibe from start to finish was so light, happy, and comfortable. The boat itself was super nice & spacious with comfortable seating, plus you could see everything from every angle, which made it easy to catch every encounter! Pro-Tip: come prepared with your best dolphin puns and your "dolphin call" because they WILL put you to the test This was hands down one of the best experiences we've had on Pensacola Beach. We will definitely be back, and I truly can't recommend it enough!!

Worst fishing trip ever on Daddy's Baby. The Captain acted…read moreas though we ruined his Saturday and hated being there. He didn't hardly even speak to us except to repeat 3x, "do not thrown toilet paper in the toilet, put it in the basket only". Which was ironic since there was no toilet paper anywhere on that boat. The main reason we were willing to pay more for a boat with a toilet, yet we couldn't use it. Unbelievable...how cheap do you have to be to make the customers provide their own toilet paper??? Also, when comparing boat to price in the area, this boat seems way over priced for the age and condition it's in. It looks nothing like it does on the website...maybe when it was new, but certainly not now. As for the captain, we don't even know his name because he never introduced himself but he did manage to be very snippy towards the deck hand. The fishing equipment kept breaking which took time away from fishing. The one time the Capt. came down from his perch, we got to over hear him telling the deck hand that the last deck hand, "broke all the equipment and took things out of spite. As soon as we got back to the dock Dale fired him". So why didn't he have it all fixed and replaced before we got on the boat??? Not to mention the equipment was all very old and wore out. We spent 3-4 hrs riding out and around looking for fish and 2 actually fishing. Nothing we caught was as over 10" long. The Captain didn't seem to know what he was doing at all. We didn't even catch 1 fish in the last hour. He didn't have a clue (or just didn't care) how to put us on any fish anywhere. We had asked the Captain as we were departing the marina, "what kind of fish can we expect to be catching?" And his response was "not much sense everything is out of season". We hoped he was joking, but he was not. No one told us this when we booked it? We had specifically asked about and said we wanted a private charter that we might expect to catch some big fish on, even if we had to throw them back. We just wanted to have lots of fun because it was a birthday present for someone in our group. The gentleman booking it said "oh you will catch some good ones, our captain's know how to put you on the fish and you will have a great time". We knew some fish were out of season so we'd be throwing a lot back but even the red snapper we caught and threw back were under 10" long. WTH??? We've been on several charter trips and this is by far the worst ever. The "fish weren't biting" excuse can't be applied here either because 3 other boats were at Zekes Marina cleaning fish when we got back and their haul was huge! We asked what kind of charters they were, thinking it was an 8 or 10 hr charter, but no, they were 4 and 6 hr charters like ours. Yet they caught bigger and more, not to mention their customers were laughing and going on and on about how much fun they had. We had NONE! If it weren't for our deck hand (who gets 5 stars) we would've been miserable! He was the saving grace to this crappy trip. We tipped him good because he tried very hard to take up the slack of this lackadaisical captain. We're sure business is so good for this company that they don't have to worry about customer service so our review won't bother them a bit. Nor will our bad experience cause them to loose sleep spending our hard earned $1400 we had to pay for this joke of a fishing trip. But know this, not that it means that much, Class Act Charters will never be recommended by us and will always be a very bad memory for us. Very disappointed, is an understatement!
