Sea Dog is an interestng hibrid between a Party boat and a Charter boat, intended to have a nice time catching fish and enjoying the half day. Do not expect the luxuries of a full charter, that comes with it's price tag. Expect a reasonable fishing day, free of hasles from the crew and rude fishing "partners" as you find... more

Please DO NOT waste your money or your time fishing with Sea Dog Charters. The thing that really got me the most was the fact that their policy for hiring their employees required that they must pass a drug and alcohol test and random screening would be done. NOT TRUE! That morning the boat captain look like he had just... more

Do not make the mistake of fishing with Sea Dog. The $60 pp rate caught our eye....and please remember-you do get what you pay for. The boat smelled like an outhouse-there were no "private heads" as advertised in the brochure. The toilets were port-a-pots. ICK. The lady on the phone confirming and taking our reservation was a rude, nasty crab... more

This private charter was more than we asked for! The boat was extremely clean and well kept. Our captain and mate, Mike and Brian, were extremely professional and hard working. We caught our limit in three hours! They were super. We will definitly use them again and will refer them to all our friends. more

Since not many fish were being caught, people were... more

As mentioned in another review, they exceeded their advertised capacity on the reef/wreck party fishing boat. This made for tight fishing on deck. We also booked a four hour shark fishing trip for the next evening. This was the 'guide's' first job. We ran low/out of hooks, bait and chum. There weren't any wire leaders on the lines, and as... more

The correspondence I had with Sea Dog prior to our trip was that they took a max of 6 people per boat. When we showed up, there was a sign at their dock saying they took a max of ten. When I asked about the increase from 6 to 10 they said "the Coast Guard had just re-rated the boat... more
