I can't say enough good things about Above Average Charters and Captain Richard and his wife Helen! My family and I did a 4 hour morning charter and it was amazing. We caught 6 Bonita, 4 King Mackerel and 26 Spanish Mackerel. Captain Richard also expertly and professionally fileted all the fish - my family is eating well all week.... More

Captain Rich and wife Helen are super nice and personable. We caught lots of fish and had lots of laughs too! Rich took us right to where the fish were. Had a great afternoon and all around great experience with reservations, catching fish, cleaning the fish, etc. The boat is great too. Lots of room to move around, which is... More

Capt. Richard and Helen are awesome!!! We had to reschedule at the last minute and they were able to accommodate us without any hesitations. Capt. Richard put us right on the fish quickly and the five of us had a blast for four hours catching a bunch of fish. A lot of the other fishing charters kept circling our boat,... More

What an awesome day of fishing with Captain Rich! He knew right where to find the fish. He knows what he's doing and even if you think you know fishing, he knows it better than you do! Our family of four(daughter age 9 & son age 8) had a blast and caught fish after fish. Total half day fishing 28... More

If you've never done off shore fishing before, as I hadn't, it is a must do at least once, and what better way to do it then with someone with 20+ years of experience, like Captain Rich. He was an...

Of all the multiple fishing charters offered along Clearwater Marina, we oringinally chose Above Average due to the friendliness of Helen (wife of Capt. Rich) she was very knowledgeable and outgoing, she didn't sell us some line to get us to book with us, but was very honest and outgoing! From booking the trip through filleting our shark, this was...

Captain Rich was excellent. We caught plenty of fish. He was great with my young son too. Overall the best fishing charter I have ever been on.

We did an afternoon shark fishing trip with Capt Rich this october, and boy did he make sure we weren't disappointed, Capt Rich spent sometime checking around his favourite spots to make sure we had the best possible chance of catching some sharks. Once anchored up Capt Rich told us how we were going to be fishing and that we... More
