Captain Fernando was amazing not only was experienced, knowledgeable, patient and just a down to earth kind of guy. Diego my 14yr old is a beginner so Fernando was very helpful with instruction when he caught his first Tarpon! Thank you again for the great memories.

Abi was fantastic! His knowledge and experience of the waters had us getting tarpon to bite within the first 30 minutes. We each caught one of our dream fish. A truly amazing experience to remember. We will definitely be back thanks to Abi. His character and hospitality the entire trip exceeded all of our expectations and he truly made the experience even better. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ABI.
