Joey and Linda truly made our family outing special. Taking our family of five (kids aged 11, 9, and 5) out with Captain Joey and mate Alina was a wonderful experience—they were incredibly accommodating throughout the trip. Unlike typical party or charter boats, this was a perfect introduction for our young family. The whole day went smoothly, and we can’t recommend them highly enough!
Had a fantastic day fishing with Joey. From the moment we stopped, the bites were consistent—our first drop saw all four lines hooked! Thanks to Linda, who kept us stocked and ready with bait and tackle, we hardly had time to grab lunch or drinks. These folks know how to run a great fishing trip and we would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a fun and productive outing.
Joey and Linda made a wonderful team. Although the fish were a bit slow to start, they kept us moving to the right spots until we had enough for a delicious meal. They were patient and considerate, especially since some of us were new to fishing. Captain Joey didn’t hesitate to go the extra 22 miles to find the fish. The first mate, Lee, impressed us with her hard work and even took time to teach my 8-year-old granddaughter how to properly set the hook and handle her catch—it was truly a joy to watch.
We wholeheartedly endorse this dynamic team for anyone seeking a top-notch fishing experience. Their dedication and care made a lasting impression on all of us.

Get ready to head offshore and target some impressive fish with Captain Joey’s 4- to 8-hour trips aboard his 26’ Boston Whaler, designed to deliver nonstop action. Whether you have a half-day to cast your lines or a full day to explore deeper waters and target trophy fish, these excursions focus on bending rods and filling your cooler.

Your fishing range and targets depend on the trip duration you choose.

After booking, let Captain Joey know if you have a specific species in mind so he can prepare accordingly.
