What an incredible day on the water! The action was nonstop from start to finish, and Captain Ethan handled everything, allowing us to focus entirely on fishing and having fun. Our boys, ages 8 and 11, are already passionate anglers, but Ethan's guidance and support made the experience even better. He was always there to help when needed and worked hard to keep everyone catching fish throughout the trip. One of the best parts was cruising the peaceful intracoastal waters and moving between productive spots. Every stop seemed to produce more action, and by the end of the day we had caught nearly 50 fish representing around 10 different species. The fishing was outstanding, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the memories we made as a family were priceless. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Captain Ethan to anyone looking for a fun and productive fishing trip.

We booked a family fishing trip with Captain Ethan, bringing along two boys with very different levels of fishing experience, and he did an outstanding job making sure everyone had a great time. From the moment we started fishing, Ethan had us on the fish. We caught a variety of species including sea trout, ladyfish, catfish, and pinfish, with steady action throughout the trip. His knowledge of the local waters was impressive, and he consistently moved us to productive spots to keep the rods bending. What really stood out was how well he worked with both kids. He patiently taught the less experienced angler the basics while keeping the more experienced one engaged with helpful tips and conversations about fishing. Ethan made sure everyone felt involved, comfortable, and successful throughout the day. His professionalism, local expertise, and attention to detail made for an enjoyable experience from start to finish. We highly recommend Captain Ethan to anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly fishing charter.

Captain Ethan had us catching fish almost immediately and kept the action going from start to finish. His knowledge of the area and ability to stay on productive fish made for an incredible day on the water. The highlight of the trip was landing an impressive 8-foot bull shark, an experience none of us will ever forget. It was exciting, memorable, and something our family will be talking about for years to come. From the steady fishing to the unforgettable shark encounter, Captain Ethan delivered an outstanding experience. We couldn't have asked for a better trip and highly recommend him to anyone looking to create lasting memories on the water.

Our trip with Captain Ethan in October 2025 was easily the highlight of our family vacation. My husband, our two boys (ages 7 and 12), and I had an incredible day on the water filled with nonstop action and more fish than we could count. We caught a wide variety of species, and Captain Ethan was incredibly knowledgeable, identifying every fish and answering all of our questions along the way. What truly stood out was how amazing he was with our kids. He was patient, encouraging, and made sure they were involved every step of the way, from casting to reeling in fish. There were moments when all four of us were hooked up at the same time, catching fish one after another. Ethan worked tirelessly to keep the action going, quickly removing fish, rebaiting hooks, and having us ready for the next catch in seconds. If a line broke, somehow a new rod was already in hand before we even had time to think about it. One of the most memorable parts of the trip was catching two sharks. Ethan made sure each of our boys had the chance to reel one in, creating memories they will never forget. We even hooked a third shark that unfortunately got away. Whenever the action slowed, Ethan immediately moved us to another productive spot and kept the rods bent. Beyond being an exceptional captain and fisherman, Ethan is genuinely kind, laid-back, and great to be around. He exceeded every expectation we had and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. When I asked my boys to rate the trip from 0 to 10, they both answered, “1,000,000.” We cannot recommend Captain Ethan enough and will absolutely book with him again whenever we're back in the area. Every penny was worth it.

My two kids and I had an excellent 3-hour fishing trip with Captain Ethan. The action was steady throughout the outing, and we ended up catching more than 30 fish combined. Ethan did a great job putting us in productive spots and keeping the fishing consistent. My kids had very little fishing experience, but he was patient, encouraging, and made sure they felt comfortable and involved the entire time. His ability to work with young anglers really stood out. The boat was perfect for our small group, and Ethan kept fresh bait on our hooks and everything running smoothly from start to finish. His professionalism, local knowledge, and attention to detail made for a fun and memorable experience. We had a fantastic time and would absolutely recommend Captain Ethan to anyone looking for a family-friendly fishing charter.

Captain Ethan was outstanding! We've been on fishing charters before, but this experience was on a completely different level. From the moment we got on the water, it was clear that Ethan knew exactly where to find the fish. He had us fishing with live bait, and the action started almost immediately. We were catching quality fish one after another, with plenty of hard-fighting species that made every catch memorable. Our entire family had an amazing time. What really impressed us was Ethan's dedication and local knowledge. He stayed in communication with other trusted captains throughout the day, sharing information and adjusting locations to keep us on the fish. Every move seemed to put us right back into the action. Ethan was patient, helpful, and always ready to lend a hand when needed. Thanks to his guidance, we brought home a great variety of fish for a fresh seafood dinner, including mackerel, flounder, trout, and snapper. We also caught several exciting species along the way, including pufferfish, cobia, jack crevalle, and even a blacktip shark. If you're looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and hardworking fishing guide who truly wants his guests to have a great experience, Captain Ethan is the one to book. We had a fantastic trip and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an unforgettable day on the water.
