What travelers are saying
- Lesley H1 contributionWhat a great experience! The boat ride was smooth, the weather was perfect, the history and narrative of the area was interesting, and the wildlife was a huge plus our sunset cruise. If we are in the area again, I would not hesitate to go again!Written May 31, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David M1 contributionCaught lots of Spotted See trout, silver trout, 2 nice blue fish and used as cut bait for Reds. Capt was talkative and a great guy, except my wife was catching the biggest fish and didn't let me forget it.Written April 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jkat45Jacksonville8 contributionsWe had a great experience kayaking through the estuary and out in the gulf.

- Lars JJamestown, NY6 contributionsMarch 2022. WOW..... what a great day of fishing. Danny Allen is your ticket for fun. He's an attentive to the task "a good o'l southern boy" type professional fisherman. He shows his professional side when he puts you on the bite and he produces what he is asked to do, "catch fish". Great equipment and boat are part of his arsonol for getting the job done right. He is very knowledgeable and quick with answers to your questions. It's all about his customers and that they have a great day on the water. He had us hauling Trout to the boat in no time at all and we limited to boot !! On our return to the marina, he gladly filleted and packaged everything we caught on our trip. All of this with a great sense of humor !! Danny is an awesome captain and funny guy. If you are not fishing with Danny Allen, you're in the wrong boat for sure. I already have him booked for next year.Written April 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Gregory WBowling Green, KY78 contributionsOur experience was better than others have had. The boat was on time, so we didn't wait at all. Our Captain Joe was knowledgeable about the birds and other wildlife around the islands. I liked it that Joe didn't chatter the entire time, but had in depth answers to what he was asked. He was only on the phone once that I remember, and didn't smoke. Yes, we saw the dolphins. the tour didn't seem rushed, it seems to last just the right amount of time. This boat will also drop you off at the other islands and pick you up later.Written April 19, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lindsay TWoodstock, GA12 contributionsWe had a great day on the water with Captain Jason! He was excellent with our 9 and 6 year old boys, making sure they understood how and where to cast. He kept us on the fish all morning and even stopped for the boys to see the manatee and dolphins. We’ll definitely be back to charter with J. Lowes Guide Service!Written April 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MM1awJoliet, IL10 contributionsCaptain Brown is a seasoned local guide that will put you on the fish, Cedar Key is a must fish location. It's very different than the southern Keys, which makes it a unique fishing experience.Written April 25, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Liv3 contributionsRead the reviews before we went out. Everyone had good things to say. So we were very excited. But, nothing could have prepared us for one of the most exciting, entertaining and informative trip we'd ever taken in 19 years of marriage.From Captain Greg to Hank the entire adventure couldnt have compared us for the more than amazing time we had. And the grouper we caught is going to feed us for weeks. More than patient with "beginner's" and they ensured that we were well stocked before we docked. Diffently will be back for more.Written December 12, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- hammer22jm8 contributions7/26/2022 Our fishing trip with Captain Tracy was a blast! He is very knowledgeable of Cedar Key & its history. We were able to catch a lot of fish during our outing. I would definitely recommend scheduling a fishing trip with Tracy if you’re traveling to Cedar Key. You won’t regret it!Written July 27, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- AgavathedogPhiladelphia91 contributionsGreat Captain Steve, though I have been fishing for decades, he taught me new techniques, so patient. The boat was immaculate! Though we didn't catch much he tried his best. Some days just are not good catches.Written April 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MIKE78813 contributionsFantastic trip. Capt John and mate Harold are top notch. 5 stars. My highest recommendation. Caught king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, grunts, grouper, sea bass.Written May 9, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mike R1 contributionThere are days that you remember going fishing and there are days spent fishing that you will always remember - we will always remember our day fishing with Capt. Travis. I stood in amazement and sheer pride watching my wife, who was previously squeamish about baiting a hook, land her first slam! Now as a husband to go from handing your wife a pole with a fish on it - to watching Capt. Travis show her how to present and land her first over slot red and snook in less that 30 minutes - well it just doesn't get much better than that. If you are looking for a true angling experience that involves education, promotes conservation of an incredible fishery, and makes you a better fisher person for having spent time with Capt. Travis's - then you should really just go ahead and book now - you won't regret it. Thank you, Captain Travis!

- Miles WPlacida, FL29 contributionsMost amazing day fishing ever!!! Cameron Granger was a tremendous captain! He knows his craft! He put us on the most amazing pocket of Redfish ever! It was surreal!!! He also suggested we take our fresh Redfish filets to Streamers restaurant for cooking. Also tremendous! Steamers prepared the filets with 2 sides! Truly a day we will always remember!!! Can't say enough positive about Saltwater Hitman!!!Written September 19, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
