Josh was great and I would highly recommend booking his charter. There are a few reasons for my recommendation. First, he suggested we reschedule our original planned trip because the weather was terrible. I sincerely appreciated that because it was going to be my sons first time fishing (5 years old) and I wanted him to enjoy the time on the water. If we had gone during our original scheduled time, it would have been awful so having Josh recommend we reschedule (since we could) put my mind at ease. When we were able to go out a few days later, we had a blast and caught a lot of fish (18 total)! My son loved it and can’t wait to go out again. Josh took care of everything related to the fishing from putting bait on, to removing fish off the hook and eventually cleaning the fish (which he also did an excellent job at). We will be booking with Josh in the future if we are in the Sarasota area again and are looking for a charter!

My friends and I booked this trip super last minute and we weren’t sure if it was going to work out, but it did! I was connected with dalton who sent over all the information we needed/where to meet/etc. The trip was a blast, I never really had gone fishing on a boat and Dalton was super helpful. We ended catching a real big fish at the end and we got to come home and eat it! So much fun- would highly recommend.

We enjoyed our morning on the water with Dalton. We started out on the reef and caught all the fish we could handle. As things quieted down, we tried the Pass and the ICW. I am sure the fish we caught will taste great tonight!

Josh is a fantastic captain who made our day very memorable. He is very knowledgeable about where the best spots are and is a great guide. 10/10 would recommend using Best Coast for your day out!
