This was an incredible first time experience. Captain Jimmy and Andrew were very informative and knowledgeable. They worked their a$$e$ off to make sure we caught fish. Not only did we catch several fish, including tons of Bonita's, a king fish, mutton snapper, yellow tailed snapper, but I pulled in an enormous hammerhead Shark. My single only regret, was I wasn't able to afford the mounting of the Hammerhead, so it was cut loose before getting true measurements. I would do this every day if I could.

Captain Jimmy was a great time!!! We went the week after hurricane Ian hit the west coast and I went with no expectations to catch a fish but instead to enjoy the ride and conversation. We had 5 people on our boat and everyone caught a kingfish . The crew was very kind and were very willing to answer questions about the area and give suggestions on places to go ! They cleaned our catch wonderfully! I would definitely recommend this guide service !! What a great time!

Ryan, Jeremy and the Billy were amazing. 100% great time. This was beyond an amazing experience knowledge of what was going on below and bait to use was so helpful. Will be back again every trip we do to Florida. Great attitudes (even in the rain). Just an amazing experience all . around. Recomend 200%%
