Capt Dave kept us entertained and did all the heavy lifting. What a tremendous boat. Even in rough weather conditions, we had a blast and are definitely coming back.

Had a great time on the water! He was easy to talk to, never bored! Dave was great with our 12yr old son. I love that he used live bait. Highly recommended!

Judge a charter by it's captain. Captain Hegel was a class act weeks before we even got on the boat. Working to make sure species were in the area, keeping up with weather patterns to keep on them as they move, and being flexible with our group's schedule. On the boat, he worked...

Really tuff conditions. Captain Dave worked hard to find fish. Unfortunately they had lockjaw. Excellent captain, really nice boat and equipment.
