Booked Capt. Micheal early morning, and he was sitting on his boat soon. he was very helpful on a boat, including some total newbies who caught their own fish. Great help, great fun, fantastic value, and a must for anyone wanting to try Reef fishing. Caught plenty of fish in an enjoyable atmosphere. Will go again on an eight-hour fish.
Ok, so I have nothing to compare the trip to, but captain John was brilliant and also so helpful and friendly. The whole trip was really relaxed. They even helped me celebrate when I caught my first Blackfin Tuna. he was great with the kids too, helping my 12-year-old nephew. I would highly recommend this Reef Fishing trip, and we will definitely be coming back again next time we're in Marathon. Thanks, guys.
We’re glad Captain John helped make your reef fishing trip such a memorable family experience! 🎣 Celebrating your first blackfin tuna catch is a moment you won’t forget, and it’s great to hear he made everyone feel comfortable, including your 12-year-old nephew. Thanks for the recommendation, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Marathon for another adventure! 😊
Another cracking morning spent with "Captain John." A wonderful outing with the children (aged 12 and 15). Plenty of superb Mangrove Snapper caught, laughs and Marathon adventure ! Perfect family time!
Thanks for another great day on the water with Captain John! 🎣 We love hearing that your family enjoyed the laughs, the Marathon adventure, and plenty of mangrove snapper action with the kids. It’s always special when a fishing trip becomes quality family time. We look forward to welcoming you back for more memories soon! 😊
Booked a wonderful trip for 3 adults and a 10-year-old. Michael was very friendly, and when it came to the fishing, he spent a lot of time helping our 10-year-old so we could all fish; they even had a small rod, which was ideal for him. Very family friendly and good fun for 4 hours, and we caught Yellowtail Snapper, black grouper, and Barracuda. Thank you very much, and I would recommend this experience for young people looking for their first fishing trip.
Thanks for choosing us for your family’s first fishing adventure! 🎣 Captain Michael made sure everyone could enjoy the experience, especially your 10-year-old with the perfect-sized rod and extra guidance. Catching yellowtail snapper, black grouper, and barracuda made the four-hour trip even more memorable. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome your family back again soon! 😊
Captain Lucas was great, we caught plenty of yellow tail snapper, started slow but he knows what he is doing and got us on the bite.
It’s great to hear Captain Lucas turned a slow start into a successful day on the water! 🎣 His experience and knowledge helped get you on the bite, and we’re glad you finished the trip with plenty of yellowtail snapper. We appreciate your kind words and hope to see you back for another fishing adventure soon! 😊
For 3 generations my family has been coming to fish with captain John. We've always been fishing, and each year it's fun. John made the trip the best ever. Entertaining us with his honesty, it's these guys who create such a great atmosphere for all ages. it's extremely good value for money. Mutton Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, black grouper, and even Barracuda. Thank you for sharing your passion and wit with us. We will see you again soon.
Three generations of fishing memories is something truly special! 🎣 Captain John clearly helped make this year’s trip the best one yet with his passion, humor, and knowledge on the water. Catching mutton snapper, mangrove snapper, black grouper, and barracuda made the experience even more memorable. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to welcoming your family back again soon! 😊
A great reef fishing trip out on the boat with Captain Michael, where we were able to take in the great views and caught plenty of Yellowtail Snapper fish while my brother tried to catch some Black Grouper.
Thank you for the great review! It sounds like Captain Michael delivered the perfect reef fishing adventure. Catching plenty of yellowtail snapper while your brother chased after black grouper made for an exciting day, and those beautiful views are always a bonus. 🌊 We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope to have you back on the water for another memorable trip soon. 🎣
We had a wonderful trip this morning with a party of 4 (age range 10 to 50). Our captain John was brilliant, with good knowledge, good chat, and good teaching! We ended up catching 12 Barracuda and 23 Mutton snapper. They were really professional, taking and confirming the booking too. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you for the wonderful review! It sounds like Captain John made the morning both fun and educational for everyone in your group. Landing 12 barracuda and 23 mutton snapper is an incredible day on the water. 🐟 We're also glad the booking process was smooth from start to finish. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome your family back for another memorable fishing adventure soon. 🎣
We had a brilliant reef fishing trip with Captain Michael on the early July holiday. It was a bit early in the season for lots of Black Grouper, but Michael took us over a Mangrove Snapper and all our kids were able to catch something, which they were thrilled with! Great guy, great boat, and a great experience all around. Thanks, we'll be back again!
Thank you for the fantastic review! We're so glad Captain Michael made the most of the conditions and got your family into some great Mangrove Snapper action. Seeing all the kids catch fish and leave excited is what makes these trips so rewarding. Even if the Black Grouper weren't quite ready to cooperate, it sounds like the day was a big success. We appreciate your kind words and can't wait to welcome your family back for another great day on the water! 🐟
Great trip out for Marathon Reef fishing. The first fish I’ve ever caught. Thanks, John, for a brilliant trip. Knowledgeable and helpful. Recommend this trip to anyone. Excellent value
Thank you for the great review! There's nothing quite like catching your very first fish, and we're honored Captain John got to be part of that milestone.
