Hunter and Russ are too the most qualified people I’ve been out deep sea with. I’ve been all over the world deep-sea fishing and I have a really good time with these two guys. If you wanna bring fish home these are the guys to go fishing with..

Hunter was a wonderful captain. He knows the open water very well, and we were able to enjoy catching an array of fish! We even caught a small shark to release back and dolphins graced us with their presence! What a fantastic experience. We will definitely be using him again on our next visit!

Best charter I’ve ever been on by far. Captain Hunter brought a great atmosphere and put us stud fish the entire trip. It was a great experience and I will definitely be back out again soon.
