Greatest Fathers Day Ever!!! My son and I went out with Nick this morning and had a blast. 5:00 AM wake up call comes pretty early for me so at 6:00AM I was still struggling!! After 5 minutes with Nick if you're still asleep he'll get ya going with his high energy and the excitement and passion he has for the sport!! Not only is he fun to hang out with he knows his stuff and is very helpful and has you feeling like a pro in no time!! Thanks again Nick... see ya next summer!! Deuces!!
Rob Melton
What an amazing experience! Captain Nick was fantastic with our kids and handled all the hard work. He taught us some interesting facts and had a beautiful boat. My husband and I got to watch our kids enjoy a unique experience catching Trigger fish and chasing dolphins. The two hour, Kid friendly tour was perfect for our 3 Kids (3,6 and 10). We couldn't be more pleased with out first ocean fishing adventure!
Alli Davis
Great experience fishing with Nick. He's fun, knows all the spots the fish hang out and is a great teacher. The whole experience from booking to cleaning the fish we caught was easy (except for reeling in the reds, that was tough but we did it!) We didn't go to catch the small ones so be prepared to catch big fish and a lot of them!
Brenda Knapek
15 year wedding anniversary and one of our top experiences ever! Booking was super easy. Nicks wife was great to talk with, answered all our questions and got us set up! Nick was a fantastic captain and definitely knew what he was doing. He knew all the perfect spots to go because we caught quite a bit of fish as well as had a crazy adventure hooking a Tarpon that gave us quite the pull and Im pretty sure as we released him, that Tarpon laughed at my husband and I's exhaustion. What an experience! next year we will definitely be back and bringing our 4 kiddos as well! We hands down recommend this charter! Not only a fun experience but great people to deal with!! Thanks Scallywag Charters!
