Jamie Sobers5.0VerifiedAmazing Family Fishing Adventure with Captain Shane
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 22, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe had an absolutely amazing time deep-sea fishing with Captain Shane in Gulfport! He was fantastic with the kids and kept them engaged, excited, and having fun throughout the entire four-hour trip. We stopped at three different fishing spots, caught more than 20 fish, and were able to bring 15 home! At the end of the trip, Shane cleaned and filleted all of our fish for us, which was such a great bonus. His recently remodeled boat was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. This was an unforgettable family experience, and we cannot recommend Captain Shane enough. We will definitely book with him again!
Nick Becker5.0VerifiedGreat family fun
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 14, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 childrenWhat an awesome fishing experience! Capt. Shane was great and got us on the fish immediately. We were up in the air on whether to take a 4 or 6hr charter but ended up doing thr 4hr because we had some young anglers with us and were unsure how long they could hang. After our experience with captain Shane, we will be doing the 6hr next time! Shane was great and very informative with the kids and they had a blast! Everyone caught several fish and Shane was very attentive and accommodating. We highly recommend a charter with Captain Shane it is a blast for all ages and his knowledge of the fish and their locations is spot on.

Brian Rogers5.0VerifiedAmazing fishing trip with Captain Shane!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on June 29, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 childThis fishing trip was the highloight of our trip to Florida! As a mized group of freshwster anglers and newbies, offshore fishing was a new experience for all of us. Captain Shane was a professional throughout, took us to a great location, and gave us lots of pointers to hook ourselves a ton of snapper and mackerel. We even had some competition with a couple of dolphins who kept trying to snag a free lunch!! I’d give this experience and additional star if I could.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore - 1:00 PM on June 20, 2026 • 3 adultsOur group had a great time thanks to Shanes knowledge, kindness and his personal passion for fishing! He did a great job explaining how to work the equipment propely and made it super easy for the inexperienced fishers in our group to be involved, safe and have a great time. He not only knew the waters well but also shared cool facts about the area and was great to converse with during the trip. Next time I’m back, he’s my go to charter!
Edwin James5.0VerifiedAwesome trip
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 2, 2026 • 4 adultsWe had a great trip. Shane was an excellent captain, the boat is in excellant shape and the equipment was new and in working order.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore on June 18, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childCaptain Shane showed us a super fun, productive morning fishing! The boat was super nice and clean, the poles and gear were top notch, and the live fish bait was perfect! We caught over 25 fish, a shark, and my son even hooked a bird (lol). Captain Shane was super friendly, great with the kids, and made sure we had a great time!
Jennifer Mong5.0VerifiedGreat day for the whole family
4 Hour Trip – Inshore - 1:00 PM on July 9, 2026 • 4 adultsShane asked us what our expectations were when we booked. My boys just replied something big. When we boarded Shane gave us a few options. First we caught several nice size trout, a mackerel and a huge stingray. Then we went shark fishing. And my son caught a shark. It was great. Very exciting. Great memories.

My boyfriend and I had the best fishing experience ever imaginable! We booked the three quarter Day fishing trip and Captain Shane did everything he could do to make our trip memorable! Shane took us to several fishng spots and each spot that we went to, we caught so many fish. Some fish we threw back, in fact a lot of them we threw back either due to size or desirability. But we each caught our daily limits of trout, and then we caught Ladyfish which we threw back, but they were so much fun to catch. After 15 Ladyfish that I personally caught, I quit counting them and just still was having so much fun. Although, it was past the time when we were supposed to be back at the dock, Shane continued to work at having us catch more and more fish in a final stopping point. That's where we got our daily limit of mango snapper! 10 in all! Shane was so kind to separate our large catch and carefully filet and bag them for us! We were so greatly appreciative of this! The fishing trip was certainly a hit but if it wasn't for Shane, it wouldn't have been nearly as much fun. We laughed and we talked and we had a lot of fun and he made that all so possible! If you're looking for a fabulous day with a fantastic captain who really knows his stuff about fish and the waters of Florida, please please don't hesitate to book your trip with Shane! You definitely will not be disappointed and it will be the fishing trip to be remembered for years and years! Thank you, Shane!!! We will definitely see you next time weare in the area!

If you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water, book with Captain Shane at Nautical Souls Sportfishing—you won’t regret it! We had an absolute blast from the minute we left the dock until we got back. Captain Shane is the real deal. He’s knowledgeable, professional, easygoing, and just plain fun to spend the day with. It felt like we were fishing with an old friend. By the end of the trip, we thought so much of him that we actually invited him to come stay with us if he’s ever up our way!
