4 Hour Trip – Bay Shark Fishing(PM)
Highly recommended
We had an absolute blast on our evening shark fishing trip! From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. Our deckhand, Austin, was fantastic—super helpful with photos, great conversation, and incredibly kind with the kids. Captain Barry was a true professional, and the communication before and during the trip was spot on. The equipment was top-notch, and we caught plenty of sharks in just four hours. Honestly, it was more than I expected for such a short trip—and very affordable for the experience we had. Highly, highly recommend!

4 Hour Trip – Bay Shark Fishing(PM)
Inshore shark fishing mission.
Man, what a day. Booked a shark fishing trip for 4 hours in the afternoon in March for my sons 11 birthday. Knowing it was gonna be a tough to get on the sharks this early in the year, still went after them. Didn’t catch any sharks but Captain Robbie and his crew put us on a mess of Spanish Mackerel. Between 4 of us we ended up putting 60 in the boat. With trying to reel them fast enough so the dolphins don’t get them, to putting one in the boat on the first cast. Couldn’t be happier with the way the day went. Thank you Captain Robbie and your crew for making today awesome and something my son will never forget.

4 Hour Trip – Bay Shark Fishing(PM)
Great Evening
Great evening shark adventure with Captain Rob and his crew. Boat was huge and clean and even through a decent amount of wind heading out, the boat was calm and safe at all times. Captain and crew were knowledgeable and nicely managed helping and letting us do it for ourselves. We took a 25 minute boat ride which allowed for over 3 hours of fishing during our 4 hour trip which isn't always true. We got lucky and caught 6 sharks and had two huge fights that ultimately didn't end in catches, but fun nonetheless. We would do this again any time we are down in PCB.

6 Hour Bottom Fishing/Shark combo
Best experience ever!
Austin and Rob went above and beyond to accommodate our family of 4! My 10 and 6 yr old boys had an awesome time. I love the old boat that had the prettiest wheel wash ever. We caught an 8ft Bull shark, lots of triggerfish, a red snapper and even a “fish head”… darn porpoises lol. They are the only crew I’ll use in this town, and I’m speaking as a Merchant Marine Captain.

4 Hour Trip – Trolling (AM)
Great Trip
As a group of guys that had plenty of fishing experience, we wasted no time getting out on the water. As soon as we were out of the marina, Austin had us set up and keep the lines running the whole trip. The boat was well equiped and we caught some decent fish. Would recommend these guys for sure.
