I’m angry that I didn’t know the 1st mate was Captain Reid’s son!! I would’ve given him some more money!! I’m serious. Send me the kid’s Zelle please!! Name and Zelle info!!! I will 100% use him again after I/we had an awful experience with a nearby Charter last year. The first mate asked me what I was expecting and then s few moments later he was talking to Pops and the trip was to our liking!!

Good stuff!! Actual listening and follow through!!! What more can I ask for!! Make.sure I stay on.the follow through emails!!

Booking was easy. Boat was old, but in descent shape.Communication with Captain Reid was a challenge. Despite several unanswered texts and voicemails (weather was iffy and we had to drive from Santa Rosa Beach) we decided to show up at the boat anyway. At the last minute Reid and his first mate (Dylan) showed up. Captain Reid was either hungover, tired, sick, or just didn’t want to be bothered. His answer to what little conversation I attempted was short and discouraged. In fairness we paid to fish, not to talk He definitely put us on the fish. Dylan was excellent!. Overall, I would recommend this trip if fishing is the only thing you want out of a fishing trip.

Captain Reid knows where the fish are and also how to avoid the rough water if possible. Dylan is great with the family and keeps bait in everyone’s hook and manages the process of deciding what can stay and what has to go. We probably ended up catching 60+ fish during our 8 hour trip - everything from lots of red snapper (unfortunately too early to keep them) to Trigger fish and other keepable species of snapper. Highlight of the trip was hooking a 6-7 foot shark that we fought to the surface and then had to release. Was great fun to battle such a massive fish for so long.

When we are back in Destin we will definitely go out with Captain Reid again.

Captain and crew were great and they took us to where the fish were.  We caught a lot and had a great time.  Air conditioned inside cabin with couches was great to take a break and have a drink while getting out and back and in between fishing spots.  Great experience.

We caught some monsters with these guys! Captain Phillips put us on the fish and held us steady on them, the deck hand may be (young) but he’s got more experience than any of us put together! The deck hand named Dylan did an awesome job of keeping us fishing. it was a great fishing trip and I recommend 10/10 to go with these guys. We have been probably 10-12 times fishing on a charter and this was the best on we have had yet.
