Hands down the greatest experience with Garrett and Gavin! Immediately we knew we were going to have an awesome time and we truly did, they got us out on the water quickly and within minutes we had fish on our hooks left and right the entire trip. We caught so many different fish it was unreal. They were both so helpful and knowledgeable and it truly just felt like hanging out with friends for the afternoon we had such a great time. We’re already planning our next trip to come back and fish with them both!

Finding out it was the off season for red snapper was kind of disappointing, but Captain Craig put us on some good catching fun bringing in a lot of Rubyfish.  We tried a lot of hot spots in search of treasured game fish, but only to be out done by two sneaky dolphins. The dolphins fishing skills were far better than ours. To close the day off, Captain Craig put us on a bed of Triggerfish. Catching one after another, the triggerfish fighting every inch to the surface soon began to wear us out physically. In the end we only had one keeper, but a lifetime of memories with my great grandson, grandson, and my son in law! Thanks Captain Craig!

Inshore fishing 6/18/2023:  Captains Craig and Garrett were total professionals.  Excellent communication throughout the week leading up to our trip, with terrible weather navigated very well.  Safety was obviously a priority for the crew.  Once on the water, they certainly knew where to cast.  We were on the fish constantly, catching Spanish mackerel, blue runners, red snapper, and even a shark!  We barely spent any time not catching fish, honestly. The boat and equipment were perfect.  They even filleted the keeper-sized snapper for us at the end of the day. 

I would confidently recommend Emerald C Charters to my friends and family.  I plan to use them for our next trip.  Great job!

I booked the 4-hour in-shore trip for my son’s 11th birthday. Our guides were Garrett and Gavin and they gave my son a perfect day!! We went in April and caught spanish mackrel and several sheepshead. They tailored the trip to meet our preferences and were extremely patient with my son and his rowdy friends:) Highly recommend Craig and his team and will use them again!
