Weather Conditions
Captain Shane monitors the forecast and water conditions leading up to your trip. If conditions may affect your experience, he’ll discuss what to expect and the available options with you.

Safety comes first, and Captain Shane makes the final decision on whether a trip can safely proceed. If he cancels because of weather, you may reschedule or receive a full refund of your deposit.

If the trip can safely proceed but conditions are less than ideal, any option to cancel with a refund or reschedule will be agreed upon with Captain Shane before departure. A forecast of rain alone does not automatically cancel your charter.

  • "My boyfriend and I had the best fishing experience ever imaginable! We booked the three quarter Day fishing trip and Captain Shane did everything he could do to make our trip memorable! Shane took us to several fishng spots and each spot that we went to, we caught so many fish. Some fish we threw back, in fact a lot of them we threw back either due to size or desirability. But we each caught our daily limits of trout, and then we caught Ladyfish which we threw back, but they were so much fun to catch. After 15 Ladyfish that I personally caught, I quit counting them and just still was having so much fun. Although, it was past the time when we were supposed to be back at the dock, Shane continued to work at having us catch more and more fish in a final stopping point. That's where we got our daily limit of mango snapper! 10 in all! Shane was so kind to separate our large catch and carefully filet and bag them for us! We were so greatly appreciative of this! The fishing trip was certainly a hit but if it wasn't for Shane, it wouldn't have been nearly as much fun. We laughed and we talked and we had a lot of fun and he made that all so possible! If you're looking for a fabulous day with a fantastic captain who really knows his stuff about fish and the waters of Florida, please please don't hesitate to book your trip with Shane! You definitely will not be disappointed and it will be the fishing trip to be remembered for years and years! Thank you, Shane!!! We will definitely see you next time weare in the area!

He was patient , knowledgeable, and made sure we had a great experience on the water. Beyond being a great guide, Shane was simply a good guy to spend the day fishing with. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and hard working fishing guide."
