Captain James was cordial and we did catch many small fish. Would have liked to try for bigger fish and maybe something more exciting than ocean trout
James put us on fish immediately. We caught so many fish throughout our trip. He kept us entertained and busy. He would bait our hooks, cast for us & release our fish. (He would let us as well when we wanted to!) My son is 6 years old & was happy and busy the entire time. As a family of 4 we all agreed it was the best part of our vacation.
Thanks Kathy!
Captain James was a great Captain. He was great with the kids (ages 8 and 11). He was both personal and professional. We caught a bounty of various fish. The whole family enjoyed the outing. I would recommend Captain James to anyone looking to book a charter.
Catching the fish. James knew exactly where to go on the bay to be successful. He was on time and had everything ready to go the moment we arrived.
Captain James teaching our 2 sons how to fish, catching about 7 types of fish, speeding to 4/5 different fishing spots on his lovely fast boat.
Was such a fun experience for the family. Even our eight year old had a blast catching snook and speckled sea trout!! Captain James was great!
The guide was very helpful and always wanted us on the fish he was very prompt on keeping us baited which was a chore the three of us I’m sure friendly and helpful
Thanks !
Terrible time. My group was early, and the boat Captain already had a group on his boat to take out. He drove away and said to come back later. I took a late night flight the evening before and had to leave a hour before my trip to get there on time to be told we cant help you and still charged me for the trip. I would definitely use a different charter.
Tim, as I stated when we previously spoke. The phone number you provided when making the booking was incorrect. Therefore, when I reached out prior to the trip to inform you of my availability and to coordinate a pick up time I was unable to reach you. Luckily we were still able to refund you. Please note when booking a trip that it does not state a pick up time. That always needs to be coordinated with the Captain. Thanks
Captain James got us on fish from the very first cast! We got a number of snook and jacks to bite in the many areas he took us to in and around Sarasota Bay and Robert’s Bay. We had a party of four, including a six year-old and it was a great day. Lots of bait, no stress and easy going! It’s easy to find him at the dock at Hart’s Landing — there is free covered parking in the shade under the Ringling bridge if you are lucky enough to get there before a crowd — and easy guy to work with to get out on the water. A patient and professional guy who is punctual and flexible. Recommend!
James provides a great experience. He did a great job including everyone, directing, showing patience and providing a relaxing and enjoyable experience. His boat is meticulous. We really appreciated his work to make the trip great and for taking us to three different areas to fish for a variety.
