Fishing the Gulf Coast of Florida has been a lifelong passion of mine. I cherish every moment spent on the water, creating unforgettable experiences. I am fully licensed, insured, and certified by the U.S. Coast Guard, holding a Master Captain’s license. My 24-foot skiff is equipped with all the necessary gear to ensure an enjoyable day out on the water. I’m flexible with pick-up locations to accommodate your preferences.
Recently, I went out on a trip with Captain Ray, who was not only friendly but also very helpful throughout the experience. My 10-year-old niece was thrilled to catch fish, which truly made our outing special. I highly recommend both Captain Experience and Captain Ray—they are knowledgeable and personable, making the day even more enjoyable. I would definitely arrange another trip with them in the future.
Captain Ray demonstrated great expertise of the local waters and fishing spots, showcasing his skills as a well-trained captain. While we had paid for a charter accommodating five people, only two to three fishing poles were in use at a time due to rough water conditions, which was a bit disappointing. Nonetheless, I would still consider booking with Captain Ray again.
