What Our Customers Are Saying
Reviews from customers that like us so much, they want to tell the world...
Best charter experience I’ve ever had. Nino was a pro at putting us on fish. Groovy and hunter were great deckhands. We wouldn’t even have the fish in the boat yet and they already had a baited rod and reel ready to go for us. Very knowledgeable fishermen but not fishing snobs that just wanna brag about how knowledgeable they are. Real down to earth guys too. Best way to put it is they’re definitely guys you’d wanna grab a beer with.
