What a day on the water with Capt. Chris that turned into a lifetime of memories for my 2 boys (11 and 12)and Me!!! The three of us had never been on a charter let alone caught a saltwater fish and Chris was so patient and helpful the whole trip and worked his butt off to ensure we had a great experience and caught what my boys were after “ a big shark”. The biggest compliment I could give Capt. Chris was at the end of the day the boys asked if we could do it again!! We most definitely will be using Chris on our next visit and unfortunately any fish we catch in Ohio will be considered “bait” fish as Capt. Chris so politely stated. We are now hooked on big game fishing and can’t wait to get back on the water again using his expertise and building more memories!! Thanks again Captain.

Easy going guy, knew his knowledge on the water and the habits of the fish we were seeking out. Even the dolphins knew we had fish being pulled into the boat. Usually fishing boat captains don't let you handle the baiting and tackle and try to micro manage your every move. Not Chris. Was really a good day being out on the water with a fellow veteran. Support your local veteran business! Give this guy a call!

Capt Chris was great. He took us out to where he knew there would be fish and we caught them with his instructions. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and a super nice guy. He switched up where we were fishing to get some bigger “keepers” when we asked and again caught fish. His motto all day was - just let me know what you want to do and we will do it. Not only did we catch fish, but he was constantly pointing out other things to us. We had dolphins swimming next to us. He spotted a ray, jellyfish, and a manatee which was really cool. We would definitely recommend Chris and will definitely be back when we are back.

Captain Chris was great for a family night out on the water. We booked for a Christmas light tour through the canals in Punta Gorda, but the best part of the trip was seeing the dolphins play in the sunset on the way over to the canals. Our 7 year old twins loved it and Chris went above and beyond by circling back so we could watch the dolphins jumping right next to the boat. The boat had plenty of space for the 5 of us to spread out. Captain Chris was very knowledgeable and his prices are very reasonable! We will most definitely be booking with him again soon. Call or text him today to reserve your spot!

Chris was fantastic with my two kids (11, 14). We went out to several spots before he found the best one to go for a shark. It was a perfect day and we were lucky catching a 6 foot bull shark. He had several lines in at all times trying his best to get shark and other fish on the lines. An awesome day. On the way back we found a bait ball and he allowed us the time to catch several more mackerel before calling it a day. Fantastic day! Thank you Captain Chris!

We went out grouper fishing, and instantly we were on fish all day. The guide had all the gear on point, he was super helpful and really chill. This was honestly the best experience I’ve ever had, I’d definitely do it again and highly recommend to anyone that wants to catch a fish of a lifetime

My husband & I spent the day tarpon fishing with Captain Chris and it was GREAT. He is very kind, professional, patient, and great with giving instructions - which we needed a lot of! We felt completely safe and at ease in his care. Both of us hooked a tarpon and successfully got one to the boat (after a 10 foot bull shark tried to grab it!!). Without hesitation, we recommend Captain Chris and hope to go out with him again soon. We had a blast!

Another great fishing trip in the books! Amazing time on the water catching Tarpon and even some crabs for bait also made a pit stop for lunch at Cabbage Key! Captain Chris always makes it an awesome experience and is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Can’t wait to book the next trip!

Our inshore trip with Captain Chris was great! He is a very personable Captain that made the whole process very fun and engaging. We got into sea trout, jacks, snook, catfish, and triple tail - which gave us quite the variety of fish to catch. We also put eyes on a few redfish. The triple tail was a blast! As a bonus we got to see several dolphins and a manatee. I would definitely book Captain Chris again (hopefully for tarpon some spring).
