    The boat we took fishing
    Steve S.

    We decided to take this charter and do some bay fishing based on its strong reviews. We were underwhelmed. The plus: We were on time, so were they. The boat was set up for bay fishing, all open and in great shape. It had great GPS and depth or fish finding gear. They were willing to drop off at the dock one of our party that was not doing well. The captain was kept busy baiting hooks and was proficient doing that. The minus: We were not offered anything to drink although we were on the water 4 hours. There was a box of donuts on the counsel, our granddaughter ask for one, the answer was no. (Why bring donuts and not share with the guests.) All we caught was small sheepshead and one lady fish. It was an expensive afternoon with no frills.

    Had a great day with captain Jesse and first mate Tyler. We caught the boat limit of shark, a sting Ray (we threw him back) lots of smaller pretty fish. It was a good time

    We had the best time on an afternoon Inshore fishing charter with Captain Joey and fist mate Linda! We caught so many fish, with their help of course. Mostly mackerel but spade and snapper too! Best yet, they were so helpful and guided us since it had been many years since we fished last. We seriously had so much fun!

    Captain Joey and mate Linda were absolutely fantastic. They were so accommodating, patient, and attentive. They made sure we were on fish all day and ended it with catching a beautiful nurse shark! Highly recommend!

    We did a 4 hour in shore morning and a four hour evening. Caught so many fish with captain Cody and captain Jesse. Lots of variety among the fish, had a GREAT time. They even recommended a local restaurant that cooked our fish for us on the lunch break. 11/10 will come back again

    "We had an amazing day today. Captain Joey was the best captain I've ever had in my whole life because he was nice and he talked a lot about stuff - told us what to do and what kind of fish there were. I caught about 30 fish in my four hour trip. Myths best was fighting that huge Jack!" Linken ( 7 year old son) Check Out the Action on my Instagram or YouTube page: FishingWithLink

    What a fantastic morning fishing with Captain Steve. My two kids loved Captain Steve. He is knowledgeable, patient, and great with kids. He took us to a few places and we caught fish each time...I think we caught over 40 fish. How fun! My son, Ezekiel, who is eight, said Captain Steve is a GOOD man. He is right. Can't wait to pan fry these filets..

    We had Captain Andrew and he was great. However, we went out to catch some grouper but we only got some silver snapper, which we would have been able to catch for way less than we payed for this place. I understand that your not going to be able to tear them up every time you go out, but for this much money I expect to at least catch something good.

    Don't waste your money!!! We just got back from a half day charter and I'm less than pleased. For starters, our captain was supposed to pick us up at the boat ramp for 8:00 but showed up half an hour late. Once he pulled up first thing i noticed was the power pole tied to a cleat and the big hole in the engine cowl. Boat looked in rough condition but I didn't think anything of it until we started to come around Anna Maria island and lost steering going over the sandbar. After about 20 min the captain made the steering work. While the captain was messing with the steering we asked him what we were targeting and he said grunts and triggerfish. I called the day before to confirm the trip and I was told we were going for hogfish, grouper, and snapper. We moved for about 5 min then the steering shot out again. After fiddling with the wiring we made it out to the 3 mile reef. It was 9:00 when our lines were finally in the water. The captian was smart but fishing was slow. But that's fishing..we were back to the dock promptly for 12. Figured he would Atleast give us some more time since he showed up late and we wasted and other 40 min with boat trouble but I guess the charter after us was more important. Overall the performance of the boat and tardiness of the captain left a lot to be desired from the trip. We paid the captain full price in cash and also left him a reasonable tip. The same day I emailed Poseidon Charters to explain to them how unhappy I was with the performance and to see if there was anyway they could make this right. They replied with typical excuses about how their boat is always in tip top shape and the damage just happened. They even took the blame for being late. They offered us another trip on the house but we're not local so I asked if they could Atleast refund the 100$ deposit to make up for the tardiness and time wasted fighting boat trouble. After a week they still haven't responded to my emails or phone calls. I go on a lot of charters all over the country and the overall performance of this one was horrible. 700$ for a half day fishing trip I expect you to Atleast be on time and show up with a boat that's presentable and reliable.

    Our captain was nice but it wasn't worth as much as we were charged for. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

    Spent a lot to go shark fishing. Didn't even see a fish. 9 hours on the water. They're not great at what they're charging to dollar for.

I loved that we all had our own cottages and in the mornings we would gather at one and have breakfast and coffee together, just catching up. There was so much to do as well. The kids had a blast in the pool and some went fishing on the dock. We played games and chatted for hours. The cottages were well stocked and comfortable. I rented the 2 bedroom and it had 2 ac units to keep the place cooled down. I only had 2 gripes during this stay: 1. The shower head in the restroom. I'm not saying that it needs to be a rainfall shower head but a regular shower head set up in the ceiling isn't working. They need to just move it where a regular shower head goes, on the wall. 2. The bug bites. I mean, I get it, it's right on the water but no amount of bug spray worked. No home remedies worked. You just had to take it. I walked out of there looking like I have chicken pox but I had a great time! Other than that, everything was amazing! Tami and Lynn were great and any questions we had they were both ready to help. I will definitely come back but it won't be in the summer, I have learned my lesson lol.

Variety of little cottages with kitchens and living rooms. Offer studio, one and two bedroom maybe even three. Fairly well stocked, plenty of towels and nice linens. Our kitchen (kitchens may very) needed things like a bowl, a can opener but had a variety of things. Only con I can think of, Advertised as full kitchens but many have a mini refrigerator. Ours opened into (& hitting ) a drawer and cupboard making it very hard to open or close. Hosts are very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Definitely a relaxing stay. But this stay there was a lack of pelicans!

    Well, it's been a couple days since our outing and my only complaint is that my right bicep is…read morestill sore from all the fish we caught! You'll want to do a couple weeks of bicep curls and stretch out before heading off to fish with Capt Will. As I sat by the launch afterwards, I heard everybody coming back disappointed in the one or two mackerel they managed to catch. "It was too cold" or "They just weren't out there today" was common to hear. I just nodded and felt sorry for them while I massaged my sore arm and contemplated having to drink left-handed for the rest of the week. For the day, Will put us on an incredible early trout bite before we moved on. We hooked so many that we lost count quickly. Once the tide rolled in, we moved towards an inlet and passed an insane ball of action along the way. He said not to worry because we were going to the same place those redfish were heading. Sure enough, shortly after we got to the mangroves, a ton of big reds came in behind us and then the fun began. Every red drum we caught was slot and the challenge of pitching shrimp in the tangled mess of mangroves to get them out was awesome! Capt. Will made great use of my time and the only regret I had was leaving my prescription sunglasses back in Chicago. Next time!
