Took me an my 4 kids ranging from 8-14 and Gavin got us right on some white trout and whiting. We had a blast reeling in fish after fish and Gavin was patient and on the spot. After catching well over 100 fun fish we went shark fishing. We caught a couple red snapper that were too small to keep and my daughter caught a 3ft dark fin shark. I caught a 4-5 ft nurse shark and then caught a monster 7’ hammerhead that I battled for over an hour. I can’t recommend Gavin and Emerald C enough. I will go out of my way next year to come back here and fish with Gavin. Also he has a sick playlist!

This was our 8th fishing charter, but our first time with Emerald C. Garrett with Emerald C was hands down the absolute best guide we’ve had across all fishing charters. With a laid-back easy going demeanor he patiently taught us the best techniques to pull in the fish. Never once were any of us without bait and a rod and reel in hand. If ever we went a few minutes without a bite he would move us to the next location - and each spot he took us ended up working out.

He was also very knowledge of the local spots - it was cool to hear about all the sites from a local.

We also saw a freaking MANATEE! When it surfaced next to us he was extremely respectful of the animals presence, and made sure we didn’t endanger it. His obvious respect and love of the Ocean and its wildlife was infectious.

It was the perfect start to our family vacation. Thank you so much Garrett, and Emerald C. Looking forward to the next time.

This was our second trip out with Emerald C but it won’t be the last! We had 2 adults and 3 children in our party. Captain Garrett and Captain Gavin were on point! They answered all the kids questions and there was a lot, lolol! Never seemed a bit bothered by the repeated baiting and casting for the kids! They were so good with them! Weather conditions were not very cooperative but they made the best of it and it was so fun! There aren’t enough stars to give or enough to say about Emerald C! If you want to have an awesome time on the water, this company will not disappoint

We highly recommend this trip!! We had two 12 year old boys and 3 adults on this trip. Gavin and Garret took us out and helped the boys catch several different kinds of fish and they made the trip so much fun! We had some rough weather come up on us and they took great care to keep us out of the storm. We will definitely take the boys on this fishing trip again.

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!
