Fantastic Full Time
It was my first time ever fishing, and I was taken here. It was the best four hours I have had in a long time. Not only did I learn to fish, but I was also made to feel welcome, had lots of laughs, and was taught how to fish, and I actually caught some Jack Crevalle and perch. A big thank you goes to Capt. Michael for making my day great. x
Operator response

Landing Jack Crevalle and perch on your very first outing is a pretty great way to get started! 🎣 We’re delighted Captain Michael helped make your day so memorable. 🐟

Brill fishing
I have fished most of the Freshwater and found that Capt. Ryan is one of the best captains I have fished with and had brilliant fishing time on board his boat and caught plenty of Snook and others.

That’s high praise from someone with plenty of freshwater fishing experience! Captain Ryan will be thrilled to know you had such a great time and got into plenty of Snook and other fish. 🐟 We really appreciate you sharing the experience, and it’s great to know the time on the boat was one to remember. 🎣

Awesome time ever.
This was my first time Permit fishing in a boat, and it is something i would definitely do again. Ryan (Captain) was great; he made you feel welcome, and he explained everything in detail so it was easy to understand. The equipment was easy to use, and they even had a kit for the little ones. You can keep some of what you catch, and if you're lucky, you'll have as many as you want.
Operator response
Thanks for trying your first permit fishing adventure with us! 🎣 Captain Ryan made sure you felt comfortable with clear guidance, easy-to-use equipment, and a welcoming experience from start to finish. We’re glad you enjoyed your time on the water and we hope to see you back for another fishing trip soon! 😊

Redfish Trip
Captain Michael was simply fantastic. Really helped my two kids and helped me wind up a friend, all good-natured, but the little things help! Been out six times in three years with this boat; every time we caught redfish (I like them the most), and I would highly recommend it.
Operator response
Thanks for coming back for another fishing adventure with us! 🎣 Six trips in three years says a lot, and we’re happy Captain Michael continues to make each one memorable. We love hearing how he helped your kids enjoy the day while keeping the fun going for everyone. We appreciate your loyalty and can’t wait to have you back chasing more redfish soon! 😊

What a great trip with Ryan!
My family (three of us, kids aged 10 & 17) thoroughly enjoyed our 240 minutes of fishing. A lovely boat, relaxed atmosphere, excellent instruction, and first-class equipment. Next time we're down that way, we'll be out with Captain Ryan. We caught Cobia, Gag Grouper, Jack Crevalle, Permit, Tripletail, and Spotted Seatrout. This trip was one of the highlights of our holiday, and we met so many people who spoke about fishing during our 2-week stay. Thank you, Ryan.
Operator response

Always a good trip in holiday...
Another good Permit trip this summer, although the Redfish fishes were not so forthcoming. Many years, many permits, many thanks to Captain Ryan. The trip was totally worth it.
Operator response
Thank you for another great review! It means a lot that you've continued fishing with Captain Ryan over the years. Even if the redfish weren't as cooperative this time, we're glad the permit fishing made the trip worthwhile. 🐟 We truly appreciate your continued support and look forward to welcoming you back for many more successful days on the water. 🎣

fishing with kids, its an awesome time!
I took 3 children aged 10-15 on a fishing trip with Capt. Michael. It was easy to book. He was polite and excellent with the children. Safety was important and delivered with the children fully engaged. He had them captivated and was chatty, but in control. In 4 hours we caught 23 Redfish and Snook, A brilliant experience that I also enjoyed myself. I can't recommend enough if you fancy doing something a little bit different with tweenage/teenage children. Thanks, Michael!
Operator response
Thank you for the fantastic review! It’s great to hear Captain Michael made such a positive impression on both you and the kids. Keeping everyone engaged while making safety a priority is exactly what makes these family trips so special. Catching 23 redfish and snook in just four hours certainly didn't hurt either! We're thrilled it turned into such a memorable experience, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. Hope to see you and the kids back on the water again soon! 🎣

Our great Fishing trip !
It was such a fantastic day on the water; thank you so much. Captain Ryan was the best. My husband was especially excited because he was the only one who landed a big redfish. Capt. kept everyone smiling the entire trip and worked hard to make sure we all had a great time. The beautiful scenery around Holiday and the fishing experience made our vacation even more memorable.
Operator response

Add in the beautiful scenery around Holiday, and it’s easy to see why this became such a memorable part of your vacation. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another great fishing adventure.
