A friendly family fishing trip - We arranged a fishing trip for five of us at the same time. Wayne is a lovely guy, very friendly and knowledgeable; he guided us to a good place for catching King Mackerel. We had plenty of fun and enough fish for lunch. We can recommend these fishing trips as a perfect way to enjoy a bit of fresh air. An easy five ***** Wayne!!! See you again soon. :-)

Superb Fishing - Wayne was brilliant. We took all our kids (from 2 families) for a 4-hour boat trip, and we all really enjoyed it. Wayne was great fun; we caught too many king mackerel. we bbq'd when we got home delicious. Would definitely recommend and will be going again later in the summer.

Spend lovely time in the water. - When there are lots of fish in the water, like King Mackerel, Black Drum, Snook, Barracuda, Grouper, Shark, Red Snapper etc.!! so we book a long trip (8 hours). , we spent every minute having great fun and caught a lot of different types of fish and a large amount of Redfish also on a gorgeous fishing boat and with good company – with amazing views of Jacksonville. I would thoroughly recommend it.

Fantastic... - We loved our 4-hour fishing trip. Thank you, Wayne. It’s not often you get to catch Redfish and other fish like that! We have some amazing pictures. I work as an artist, so this was a great bonus for me.

AWESOME..... - What a great time we had. Captain Wayne was welcoming and friendly throughout the trip. He gave us great advice, hints, and tips for king mackerel fishing, which was much needed for us newbies. Great value for money; I would recommend it to anyone.

we will do it again - Certainly a good day out, great value for money. I caught a few snook and redfish, but basically everybody else on the boat did. Some people came away with 5 fish, so it could be well worth it! Wayne was excellent and very willing to help.

My son very happy, great! - Had a very enjoyable afternoon fishing today. Booked to go online, which made it very convenient. Went with my 10-year-old son; we have been sea fishing before but are fairly inexperienced. The boat is slightly larger than others we have been on and can take quite a few people. The area that we fished was about a few minutes away, allowing around 4 hours of fishing before needing to return home. The captain was very friendly and informative and made the trip fun. We were lucky enough to catch 3 king mackerel and 5 barracuda between us, which the captain prepared for us to take home. All in all an enjoyable trip on a child-friendly boat; we will look to book to go again.
