take an old hand towel... - take an old hand towel with you to wipe your hands in between baiting hooks. If you even think you might get a little queasy take a dramamine so you enjoy the trip.
Zach and Shawn were great. Very knowledgeable and professional and make sure everybody had fun. Very timely to respond to questions or anything that came up.

Shared fishing trip... Highly Recommend!! - Been on a few private charters out of Destin, but this was our first "shared charter", it's scheduled for 25 ppl, but we went out with just 17, we were on the larger party boat (Vera Marie) so we had A LOT of room and it handled the waves very well. The crew was awesome!! We had two husband and wife couples as well as to kids 12 and 9. The deck hands, Sean and Evan did an awesome job! They were VERY helpful and accommodating, and they definitely made the trip memorable. Unfortunately we got a literal boat load of trigger fish that were out of season (they are great eating) but we did get into a mess of mingos, and the 12 y/o hauled in a respectable 7-8lb red grouper. There was a large king makrel, a large bonita caught by others on the boat. It was my wifes first fishing trip in the gulf and thanks to the great ship and crew, she can't wait to go back!!

Exceptional - Make sure to bring food cause you will get hungry and drinks. Fishing attire to protect you from the sun. Be very persistent on catching fish and you will definitely catch a lot.

Amazing trip - I had so much fun! I have been fishing a few times before and this was way better than anything I had ever done! The crew works so hard and we caught fish.

A long ride and a crowded boat. - The crew were great and very helpful. The fishing positions were too close together and the lines would get tangled with other folks every time the boat moved. 4 hours of riding time, one hour of fishing time and the other hour was dealing with tangles or moving to another fishing area.

Mediocre Fishing Charter - Although I caught some big fish; they were out of season and had to be thrown back. The rest of the fish were small. I live in the Tampa area and I go deep sea fishing regularly. With this charter I caught maybe a third of the fish I normally catch at home (and I normally catch 30+) Also, I think we were shorted out time to fish longer in order to get back to port. The charter was from 6am to 1pm. We were back at the dock by 12pm. I think if you want to take the kids fishing I think there are plenty of charters that will gladly give you what you are paying for.

Bad experience - Rough seas with wind, rain and high waves. 30 foot boats were cancelling their charters for the day. Safety wasn’t really a concern for me but comfort and fun are. First couple of stops for the boat were virtually unfishable. Had to hold onto the rail with one hand and the wind and rain were difficult as well. Numerous people got sick and many people did not even fish because of conditions. There were some fish caught however, I don’t think any red snappers of legal size were brought in.
True party boat trip with over 50 people on board. I actually fished a semi-private charter earlier in week with 14 people on board. We caught more fish on that trip than this boat with over 50.
First mates were okay. Had better. I took off a couple fish myself in order to get back fishing quicker.
Caught 2 triggerfish, 2 mingos, 1 grunt.
Typically will catch 10-15 fish on a charter like this.
Also the boat left dock 10 mins late and arrived back about 10 mins early.
Recommend try another charter.

Scam!! - We did not receive any messages telling us we had to b there by 12:30. Nor did they leave at the right time. The boat was a good bit away from the dock at 12:58. So it is impossible that they left at 1. We were not the only group that did not get on the boat. And they are refusing to give us our money back... I DO NOT RECOMMEND SPENDING UR MONEY WITH THIS COMPANY!!!!

Rip off. - Dangerous conditions Wednesday 5/15/24. The boat should never have left the dock. Fishing in 6-8 feet waves in impossible and dangerous. If you can't stand up, you can't fish. 70-80% of the 50+ passengers were SICK. The few fish that were caught were no bigger than your hand.
