Both captain Steve and his first mate were friendly, engaging, and helpful teaching us the basics of fishing. 3/4 of us had never fished before, including our 9 yr old. They did all the hard work and we got to do the fun parts! Our first mate Dave cut and cleaned our fish and we went home happy and excited about our day with some great memories and pictures. An amazing 5 hrs on the water and good test run for a longer trip with this team in the future. Absolutely recommend this charter for any occasion!!
