Jin Kim5.0VerifiedAmazing first time fishing!!
5 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on August 18, 2024 • 4 adultsHad a great time fishing with Captain Sal and First Mate Mike! They made the trip enjoyable and productive from start to finish. Captain Sal knew the best spots, and we caught plenty of fish. Mike was always ready to help with the gear and kept the mood light with his sense of humor. Both were patient and made sure everyone, regardless of experience, had a good time. It was a fun day on the water, and we left with a boat full of fish. Highly recommend this team for a solid day of fishing!

5 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 19, 2025 • 2 adultsMy daughter and I had a great time with Moondance. We caught tons of fish, all of which were filleted and cleaned. They packed them in ice and sent us over to Sam’s Star Island Grill where Tom made us fish tacos on the spot. Great day, great company, great (fresh caught) lunch !
