Captain Joey: Introducing Captain Joey, a seasoned expert of the sea! Known affectionately as "Old Salt" among his peers, he has dedicated his life to perfecting fishing techniques across a wide range of waters—from the Carolinas and Florida’s sun-drenched coastlines to far-reaching journeys in the Bahamas and the South China Sea.
Captain Dawson: Meet Captain Dawson, a Florida native who grew up immersed in both commercial and charter fishing. With more than 15 years navigating Florida’s waters, Captain Dawson possesses the local knowledge to find the best fishing spots at the right time. His warm personality combined with his professional skill guarantees an enjoyable and memorable fishing adventure.
Joey and Linda provided an outstanding experience for our family of five, including kids aged 11, 9, and 5. They were incredibly accommodating, making this trip a wonderful introduction to fishing for our young children. Having been on both party and charter boats before, this trip with them was by far the most enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend their service!
Our outing with Joey was fantastic and we will definitely book again. The moment we stopped fishing, all four rods caught fish on the first drop. With Linda expertly managing bait and tackle, we barely had time for breaks. Both were great company, creating a fun and successful day on the water. Highly recommend them for any fishing excursion!
Although the fish were a bit slow at first, Joey and Linda kept moving us until we gathered enough for a satisfying meal. Their dedication to keeping us out until we caught a good number of fish was much appreciated, especially since some in our group were beginners. Captain Joey went above and beyond by traveling 22 miles to ensure we found the fish. The first mate, Lee, impressed us with her hard work and kindness, even teaching my 8-year-old granddaughter how to properly set a hook and hold her catch. It was a truly wonderful experience!
We would enthusiastically recommend this talented team to anyone looking for an exceptional fishing trip. – The Sniders
