Further , upon looking at the boat .. it reminded me of the shipwrecked but from Gilligans Island . I specifically asked the boat Captain if it was too windy today and if the this boat was safe . They lied on both accounts . The waves out at see were so high and violent the boat almost capsized on atleast 3-4 occasions . All passengers were sick with sea sickness .. 25 miles out at sea the Captain informed us the boat is taking in water and instructed his first mate to grab the life vests AND to get the life raft ready. I felt bad for the first mate because it was his first day on the job and the Captain talked to him like he was a piece of chum . All passengers had to abandon ship and swim toward the coast guard boat which pulled us on board and saved our lives . The Captain of this boat cares more about collecting his money from his passengers than the safety of his passengers . This boat is a death trap ... do not go in this boat .. Further , the coast guard told me 95% of these charter boats , including this heap , are privately owned and not subject to inspection guidelines like other vessels are . I'm seriously considering taking this boat captain to court for gross negligence.. but by the looks of this boat .. he probably doesn't have a pot ( or sea worthy boat ) to piss in . Stay away !!

FINS charter with Cap'n Rich is fantastic - a great fishing experience! Captain Rich and his…read morecrew mate Stu put us on top of the fish again and again - always searching for the hot bite whenever the fishing got slow at a spot. THIS GUY KNOWS HOW TO FIND FISH AND WORKS TIRELESSLY DURING THE CHARTER! Besides finding fish (which is most important) - being on a boat (for 3/4 day to a full day) with someone you enjoy and trust (in the middle of the ocean) is critically important. Four of our party of six were non-fishermen - and Captain Rich and Stu were very patient and helpful getting everyone into the fish. No stress and lots of fun and laughs. Captain topped off the day by filleting our catch and recommending the "original tiki bar" at the wharf to prepare a meal of them blackened, fried and broiled. The fish were cooked to perfection. Our day with FINS was the highlight of our spring break trip. We will be back to fish with Captain Rich and Stu soon!

Miss fort pierce honest review…read more Went out. We chose fort pierce for the online reputation and location. Being fort pierce and being in a place where the water gets deeper faster we expected to fish more than 90 feet. Max depth was 89 or so feet. Rental rods were nothing to write home about but they were functional. Bait selection was limited. Live bait was not available for purchase. Deckhands/ mates were mixed bag. One gentleman was phenomenal. The other was not so much. The aforementioned original first mate put extra emphasis on a young angler who was on his first day. Fantastic to see. The second mate however chose to repeatedly open the cooler on the back of the boar during moves that anglers were leaning on instead of asking them or saying "excuse me", just forcing the lid open, practically shoving people. I understand that the cooler is operating equipment but there is no where else to be fishing the stern and this was not during fishing where it would have been sailly to be standing there. There is no seating available for individuals fishing the stern spots. The inside spots fill up fast as the cabin fits about 9 people and those sitting on them had their gear on the other seating around the boat. So those fishing the stern are just screwed in that regard. Could have brought a bucket or a chair if it was mentioned, but they did not disclose this. I have some concerns about the volume of fish they claim to catch on a good day because the fish sorting system and coolers for catch do not reflect any regular large hauls. 4 keeper fish were landed on a full boat. Granted that can happen but there are other factors in play. They supposedly restrict the amount of alcohol that can be brought to maintain "a family environment " but also had nothing to say about several people smoking right next to children. No food on the boat. Understandable for its size. Worth mentioning, They do not allow trolling. Which some Such party boats do. The images on the website of the restroom facility's are somewhat overstated. Those images must be old and the bathroom didn't even have soap in the dispenser at 7AM Unfortunately my takeaway is that this charter doesn't specifically put stock in any one angle and unfortunately if the fishing doesn't co-operate it ends up being a bit of a dull day. Of all the charters from fort pierce to Orlando they all charge the same but Miss Fort pierce is the only one that doesn't include food. All in all we picked this charter for geographical location and fishing potential and we felt that they didn't perform beyond what a regular party boat would do. Best part of it all was the friendly deck hand. Other than that I don't have much else to talk about. I feel that at the same price point as other charters this one doesn't have a distinct draw other than maybe the small size.

Although, the fish were few & far in between, this past trip, due to cold water on the bottom, Captain Scotty moved the boat a few times to give his customers the best chance possible to catch a fish. The captain and his mates are always very welcoming and friendly. They're attentive at all times which was especially helpful being I had minimal experience previously. Whether you catch a fish, or not, it's always a pleasurable experience.

My father never had an interest in it and I guess that transferred to me as an adult. Now I have young kids and my 8 year-old son has a desire to fish. It wasn't something I suggested, he requested it all on his own. We've been fishing a few times since moving to Vero Beach. It's all been pier fishing but my son wanted more. Researching the subject, I met Captain Tim through mutual friends online. An interesting person with years of experience. Meeting Captain Tim at Veterans Memorial Island Sanctuary, my friend Eli joined my son and me for a day of fishing. I wanted something "local" or "inland" meaning I wasn't interested in ocean fishing - I just wanted to make my son happy and not "rock the boat" as they say. And since Eli was the individual who took us pier fishing, my son wanted to return the favor by taking him out. Safety checks and instructions and we were off for a day on the Indian River Lagoon. Captain Tim provided a few options and we took his suggestion at heading south toward Fort Pierce. Along the way, Tim explained the various landmarks. He seemed very knowledgeable of the area and its history. Fish were light on our particular experience - we caught enough to make two sandwiches and a bowl of soup - but it was a great experience. A number of fish caught didn't meet the minimum size requirements and had to be thrown back in the water. With that said, it wasn't about the size of the fish, but the number of fish actually caught. We caught three times as many as we kept. Six hours on the boat and we were back at Memorial Island. Captain Tim cleaned all of the fish and bagged them for us. From start to finish, all that was required was to show up at the pier and jump on the boat. Friendly, knowledgeable and polite. Captain Tim provided a great experience. We look forward to fishing with him again. And I was just joking about the two sandwiches and bowl of soup. Five stars to Get Lost Charters of Vero Beach. William E. Lewis Jr. Vero Beach, Florida
