Red fish, manatees and springs for the family
Dylan was amazing. Everything about the trip was perfect from booking to drop off at the dock. We all caught fish and he even recommended a place to take the fish to for us to have them cooked for dinner. Dylan’s boat was perfect for the four of us and he did a fantastic job with our teen boys. He was very knowledgeable and attentive. Everybody had a great time. We even came back for a second day of swimming with the manatees with him!
Dylan was the perfect guide for our family and I would highly recommend him!
His demeanor and local knowledge made a world of difference.

Phenomenal day, once in a lifetime fishing trip!
I had an amazing experience with Big 3 Charters, operated by Captain Dylan. He got me my first keeper redfish, which was a thrilling moment. We also caught our limit of trout, making it an incredibly successful trip. Captain Dylan's expertise and enthusiasm made the day unforgettable. Highly recommend Captain Dylan for an epic fishing adventure!
