I didn't personally catch any fish but I did catch a good time. My daughter and I tried to do the afternoon the day prior but did not have enough people so we moved it to the following day. Only took about 15/20 minutes to get to the first spot and many were hooking up. Tried a few spots and got more coral then fish. I will say though all the crew was very attentive, friendly, communicative and present. they were always making sure bait was good, helping when lines got tied up, assisting in those who needed help with reels and what not. I have been on a few charters before and this is my top 5 for sure but I would suggest targeting the morning trips as the afternoons seem to not happen. I would go again and even do a full day trip if one was offered.

The ship and crew were fine, but very little fish were caught that could be kept. For me and my son we caught 3 fish. First, a red snapper which crew said was 15 inches ( although they didnt meadute it). They daid it needed to be 18 inch to keep so they tossed it back. Second fish was bit bigger but they daid are not good eating (i forget the name) and they tossed back. Third was a small about 10 inch fish with yellow dots, they let us keep it but it was super small. Noone on the boat of about 30 people vaught anything worth the trip, like no Tuna, Mahi, Sail fish. They also didnt use live bait, just frozen herring. Overall its an inexpensive trip, but a poor experience fishing wise. I dont recommend it. Most pictures on their site are 6-7 years old, not what they are catching today.
Easy choice

Had a great experience on this trip. The boat was nice and well kept. The crew was super friendly and engaging. Equipment was top-notch and bait as well. No regrets, highly recommended.

An excellent experience for our young grandsons first trip out to fish. From reservation to finish this was such a good experience and made our vacation so special. They were quick to answer any questions I had prior to our trip. The crew really made it possible for them to catch a mahi mahi and best of all prepared it for us to use for dinner!
wonderful experience

The Captain and Crew were top notch! We had a wonderful time aboard ship fishing. The crew were all hands to make sure our fishing needs was always taking care of. I will most definitely go out with them again the next time I come to West Palm. I could not of asked for a better Crew to fish with.
Repeat customer here!...

It was crowded and they only let us fish from one side of the boat. 95% of the time was spent with the crew untangling everyone's lines. Very little time if any fishing. We caught nothing of course.
