We had an afternoon trip in the red mangrove lagoon, and Captain Fernando catered the whole trip for our inquisitive 7 year old son. He had a life jacket in his size, and he even took us swimming at a sand bar! We caught many fish, and almost caught two gigantic tarpons. Saw numerous wild birds and a manatee as well. It was a magical afternoon to say the least, all because of the kind, thoughtful captain. Thank you Fernando!

Thank you Fernando and team! My son and I had an absolute amazing experience learning about Tarpon fishing and reeling in a 50 pounder. Our hearts were pounding. We had a few others on the line and watched them defy gravity as the launched out of the water. Fernando was the best. Very knowledgeable and passionate about his work.  He taught us so much about Tarpon and how to respect their well being.

Captain was fantastic, super funny and knowledgeable. Enjoyed talking with him and asking questions. Hooked on to a bunch of Tarpon, landed 3 and 2 huge ones. Would recommend and would definitely do again🤝🏼

Capt. Cody was the man! He put us on the fish early and then explored a few different spots. He gave us a nice sampling of the area and on top of being extremely knowable, was also an awesome dude to hang with! I will for sure be recommending Backwater to friends and fam as well as coming back here the next time we are in town. All in all an awesome experience!
