What others are saying
We were aiming for a half day trip and my son wanted catch as many species as possible. As a result, we caught seven various fishes. The captain was very assistive, he worked so hard to maintain our line in the water. He also knew hot spots to fish in the ocean that we immediately catch species, there were active fishing and not surrounded by other boats. Captain Al was also very passionate for fishing and has a generous demeanor! We had lines out in the water most of our scheduled time range. He encouraged interactive participation without being pushy or rude like I've experienced with other charters. He was super patient with my son and I, so we felt secure on the waters. It was absolutely one of the best charters I've booked. Captain Al take into consideration our goals for the trip, it was perfectly met! I will definitely book in this charter next we went back!

In Memory Of Chuck
Chuck is my younger brother, and I lost him to cancer in 2019. We shared a passion for fishing and boating, instilled in us by our father over 50 years ago. Our love of the ocean and the relaxation fishing brings have helped me deal with the pain of losing my brother.
