“Captain Tilley will put you on the fish! Had an awesome time today! Would recommend to anyone!”
Justin Lopez“Captain Dave is a class act!!. I was unable to keep my reservation due to my daughter's sudden illness. I reached out to Captain Dave to request a refund or allow me to cancel and hold my deposit for a future booking. He immediately responded to my email with a phone call. He said I will see an email confirmation of my $100 being credited to my account. No questions asked. Just like that! Boom! Taken care of! With service like that and the stellar reviews below, I cannot wait for my daughter to get better so we can make a second reservation and keep it! Thanks, Captain Dave!!”
Lois Holden“Great time with these guys!! Highly recommend!”
