He explained to us what he had in mind for our trip, and made it happen. We got to catch some nice fish and saw a lot of wildlife. The kids loved getting to see manatees. Overall, Captain Chris gave us an epic day. We will definitely be booking another trip.

Took my pop out since he was down visiting and we even found a small gag hanging out on the inshore rocks. Got started nice and early and had beautiful weather for the trip. Can’t wait to do it again.
