Captain Chris is a heck of a guy. He was ready to go when we arrived, guided us to calmer waters on a very windy day…and put our littles on some monster reds! Biggest fish these 10 and 11 year olds have ever caught. Above all, as others mentioned, he is a class act - super helpful, professional, knowledgeable…and pointed out dolphins, stingrays and other sights as we moved spots - pretty awesome. He hustled to help everyone on board for the 3 hour kids friendly tour. A trip they will never forget! Thanks cap!

We had a very enjoyable day on the water. Even with our un cooperating weather, wind and cool, we still got out and caught alot of fish, lots of small ones but still plenty big enough to take with us to eat while we are in the area. Capt. Chris and 1st mate for the day Jason were super friendly easy to work with, hang out with and very knowledgeable of the area waters and fish species. Would definitely recommend capt. Chris and fish with again in the future.

This was our first trip with Captain Chris & Shoal River Outdoors. We plan on repeating the experience. Chris recommended some flexibility with launch time due to wind, this worked out great for our party. Chris’ knowledge of the Emerald Coast waters is second to none. His boat was immaculate and his equipment top grade. He knows where the fish are and how to find them and what the are hitting. He is courteous and patient with his guests. The most impressive thing about Chris during this trip is that he genuinely wanted us to catch our limit. That should be the goal of all captains, right? That has not been our experience all the time. No so with Captain Chris. He went above and beyond to ensure that we went home with our limit. HE dedication to his profession is obvious and we highly recommend Captain Chris and Shoal River Outdoors.

Our trip with Captain Chris was great! We had planned on doing an off shore trip but after a consultation with Captain Chris we felt if would be much better to stay in bay as the waves were going to be huge and would make for a very sickly and not fun trip. Captain Chris took us around to fishing spots he has been fishing since he was a young boy. He took care of all of the bait and casting if you wanted him to. He was very knowledgeable and friendly the entire time. He shared knowledge of the area and some of his favorite recipes. Captain Chris followed the rules of the waterway and made you feel like you were part of his family out for a fishing trip. I would highly recommend Captain Chris if you are looking for a fishing outing!
