Jason Smith5.0VerifiedGreat Trip
2 Hour Trip - 8:00 AM on July 26, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenThis was the first charter trip for my young boys age 8 and 11. They both landed fish within minutes of getting set up. We were able to land nine species of fish from flounder to trout to a few nice red fish. Catches at all three stops on our 2hr adventure, really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend Capt Nick.

2 Hour Trip – Lunch Time on March 24, 2026 • 4 adultsWe didn't have a lot of time so Captain Nick was under pressure to put fish in the boat. Captain Nick is very experienced and knowledgeable of the species and did a great job with limited time boating near a dozen fish in a hours time! I accidentally booked a trip for 4 people and only had 2, Nick made sure to point that out to save us the additional $. very honest operator! we will be back!

Nick was flexible, accommodating and very professional. He made it so exciting for my 17 year old Texan boy that regularly fishes saltwater. Nick shared his knowledge of all things Florida fishing as well as so much wildlife. He pointed out massive manatees, sea turtles and so many variations fish and stingray. We have never had a guide who was more respectful for the environment- even the way you treat different species and genders of fish!
Had a great experience with Captain Nick. My 13 y son and I were able to catch multiple species of fish inshore, including a 23 in redfish and a 27 in snook! Nick was very knowledgeable- knew all the good places to fish and was great with my son. Highly recommend!
We caught flounder, red snappers and a grunt fish. Captain Nick was awesome and a great tour guide! Very friendly! we saw dolphins and manatee! Had the best time ever! Would recommend Captain Nick to anyone! Best time ever!
Fishing was tough but captain Nick worked tirelessly an put us on the fish. Warm water warm weather an still managed to catch 30ish fish. My son an I greatly appreciate the experience. We’ll definitely fish with you again in the guture. Thanks
