Lori Gaines5.0VerifiedBEST Captain & Crew
4 Hour Trip – Scalloping (AM) MAX 6 on June 15, 2024 • 6 adultsBooked a charter with Good Time Charters for scallop on opening day (June 15th, 2024). It was our 1st trip all around to Steinhatchee. We had someone aboard that had never scalloped nor snorkeled before. Melissa got in the water with him to show him the ropes & was super patient with him while he tried to navigate through everything. We got our limit before time & after asking, they took us to a nearby sandbar for a bit. We cranked up the tunes & just chilled in the water until it was time to head back. What an incredible time to be had by all. I would definitely recommend Capt Melissa with Good Time Charters for ANY type of charter. She really knows her stuff!!
Sharon EngelmanRepeat angler5.0VerifiedA perfect day on the water!
4 Hour Trip – Scalloping (AM) MAX 6 on June 28, 2024 • 2 adultsMelissa and Shade were such perfect captains and hosts. Our first time scalloping and they were extremely helpful with help in the water and safely watching over us from the boat. We got a plentiful catch to take home for dinner. Half day we were able to hunt for scallops in three different areas. The captain took us to right where we could find them best. And being locals, they were able to guide us to the best places in town. Thanks for such a memorable adventure!
Robert BankesRepeat angler5.0VerifiedSheepshead all around
5 Hour Trip – Sheepshead on March 15, 2024 • 4 adultsSo we booked this trip for our son and daughter in law to join us for fishing in the hatch. We started out a little slow but when we got into the thick of things with sheepshead we had a fantastic day they were absolutely hitting for us. We caught a bunch of grunts along with some porgy and sea bass to round it all out. Great time with a great Captain and crew very attentive to our needs and absolutely flawless when it was time for “Fish On”.
Greg Hobart5.0VerifiedShould be named "Great Time Charters"
4 Hour – Inshore Fishing (MAX 4) on March 12, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 childWe had a blast with Melissa and Shade. They had us on fish for the entire time. We booked for 4 people inshore. Boat was very stable, equipment was top notch, and they were great to hang out with. I would highly recommend going with this crew! I hope we can make it down during scallop season to book with Good Times again!!
