We had a great time. Captain Neal was great with our 7 year old. My daughter dropped her phone in the water as we docked. The Captain called us back after he found it underwater in the muck - and it works! Fish is very tasty. Such a beautiful bay
Captain Neal was an excellent host and we had a great time today fishing and seeing the area lighthouses. The boat was very clean and spacious and I look forward to bringing my family again in the future. Thank you, Neal!

June 28, 2023Captain Neal did an amazing job getting us in fish and keeping us on them! We had such a great time! His boat was in top notch condition and everything went very smoothly. He knew exactly what gear we needed to catch fish and keep pulling them in. I highly recommend him to anyway!
This is the best experience you can ever ask for! Neal is the absolute best Captain. He was wonderful with my entire family of four boys. All the boys had such a good time and loved talking with Neal, because they felt so comfortable with him. We could not have asked for a better day thanks to Neal!! Neal is the best and we will be back many more times!!!!
