What a great time! - Captain James was amazing! Felt comfortable from the moment we met at the marina. Took us to some beautiful scenic spots. Fish were biting most of the day and Captain James made sure we had a great time!! Next time we are in Gulf Shores we will definitely do this again.

KURT’S Bucket List trip! 76 years old trip - Captain Troy Frady —-words cannot say how this man makes the trip PERFECT! Southern Hospitality?...Maybe... BEST FRIENDS?.... DEFINITELY! What a great trip! If you don’t know Captain Troy your missing out on a person to know. Caring! Dedicated! Committed To YOU having the exact fishing trip YOU WANT! You want a boat load of fish?.... just tell him, you want to just catch and release?.... you got it! You want the most memorable time of your life!—DONE! This Captain cares about YOU and YOUR experience. He’s not into the competition of other boats-Why—- because No one can even come close to compete on his level of caring, fun and mostly concern! We were 3 miles from shore and my husband had a serious concern. He has stage 2 going into stage 3 Parkinson’s with Alzheimer’s when I asked Troy to “stop the boat... “ he IMMEDIATELY stopped and came to talk to Kurt. He was so caring and explained to Kurt what was going on! He left on Kurts schedule he was mostly concerned about Kurts experience. I don’t know other captains that would do what Troy did for Kurt but it was exceptional! Sam was the greatest Deck hand I have ever experienced! He kept Kurts interest in mind— reel in the big ones! Sam made sure Kurt had the biggest catches of the trips. He made sure Kurt enjoyed his 2 days fishing. Kurt did not have to worry about his service dog Tip- Sam took care of her- water- snuggles-smooches and all! When Kurt did not want to fish any longer Sam kept offering one more time. Kurt got to reel in his last fish on the boat. It was emotional, and it was the best catch! Captain Troy was so sweet taking care of us on this trip. No worries no concerns no stress. Just fishing the way KURT WANTED TO FISH! Nice ride out to the ocean great spots, (we watched other boats going like a bat out of hell beating up the passengers just to get to the spot as we just leisurely enjoyed the whole experience) and most of all the experience to last the rest of Kurts life if he doesn’t make it back here. So many pictures so many memories! I Love You Captain Troy and you have a GREAT Deck hand! Sam was so happy he whole trip nothing upset him, even when I tangled the reels at least 2 time’s horrible. I will definitely be back even if Kurt can’t come.
