“Capt. Dave and Adam put us right on the fish. Had a great time, kids did also will defiantly have to schedule another trip with them.”
Aaron Cummins“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“Captain Dave put us right on the fish and Nolan was nothing but helpful in landing fish and keeping lines in the water.”
