“We did a 10 hour trolling trip with Captain Dave and his first mate Brandon. The weather was great and the ocean was calm. Dave and Brandon put us on fish as soon as we started. We had a great time”

“Hired Captain Dave to disperse late husband's ashes out to sea. He and his first mate, Mike, created an amazing experience for my family. We highly recommend them for an adventure like ours or for a great fishing outing!”

Ginger Reed
★★★★★

“Went out for a 5 hour trip and Captain Tilley and his First Mate made this a very memorable trip for my three boys aged 8 - 10 - 14. Not only did they know where the fish were but they made it enjoyable for the littles. We will be back again next year for a longer trip thank you for the memories.”
