The water was a little rough on the day of our trip…but Captain Ben made the best of it and we all had a great day.  Single dad with four teenage boys.  It was the first trip like this for all of us.  While most boats on the pier that day had to turn around and come back with a boat load of seasick customers…our captain took it slow going out and thanks to his planning (and a few doses of Dramamine) we caught fish and had a fantastic time.  It was exciting for the boys to go out so far that they couldn’t see land anymore and the potential of catching big fish kept them excited.
    I was a Navy pilot and have been at sea for six months at a time on two frigates and one destroyer.  I can tell you that the crew is safe and makes the comfort and well-being of their customers a priority.  The boat is clean and seems very well maintained.  The cabin is a comfortable place to retreat and relax during a break from fishing.  I felt safe having my boys out there on what I already said was a rough day.
    Matt never stopped moving.  He was constantly tending to the bait and tackle, keeping the boat clean and organized, and making sure that we had a good time.  You could tell that he liked what he was doing and that he wasn’t just going through the motions.  He did a great job of making sure my thirteen-year-old understood how the gear worked and how he should be placing his bait in the water.
  There is an opportunity to tip the Mate at the end of the trip.  The customary amount is 20%...so be prepared but know that if you get Matt as your Mate…it is WELL worth it!
  Here’s another tip…if you have the time…enjoy the Catch and Cook at Brotula’s.  Matt cleaned the catch for us (mostly Trigger fish and Jacks) and we had an awesome feast at a table overlooking the pier.  A perfect end to a perfect trip.
    We’ll be coming back to this area next year and the first thing I’m going to do is make sure we book a reservation on the Mighty Fine.

The fishing was exceptional and the boat was terrific. We caught so many fish our group of 4 guys, my 16 year old grandson and 11 year-old granddaughter were worn out by the end of the day. Although the Gulf weather was hot the boat has a terrific air conditioned cab to cool off in when the captain is moving from spot to spot. The crew was great, very courteous and helpful, and they even cooked up some red snapper towards the end. I highly recommend this charter. Best deep sea experience I’ve had in 40 years. We are going back again tomorrow.

We started out catching bait, which was a nice change on a charter.  Every stop after that we caught fish.  The crew was friendly and helpful, and the captain seemed to know where the bite was.  We are planning on making this an annual event!!

On a side note.  We booked a Saturday, but the seas were looking to be rough for a Saturday, I was afraid of being canceled.  They rebooked us for Sunday, which I was extremely grateful for.

Tight lines, smooth sailing, and safe travels to the guys of the Mighty Fine!!

Gavin, the helper on deck was fantastic and knew what he was doing.
We caught lots of fish and maxed out our quota.
Boat was clean and had air conditioning which was great for the few of us who got a bit sick.
We also caught a small shark.
Fantastic time.

I will definitely book this crew again!!

Thank you for the experience!

I took my newly combined family on a trip and it was a wonderful experience. Every person said they had fun and an enjoyable time, and we’ve collectively agreed to come back next year.
The captain was nice and professional. Honest about the plan and expectations. The first mate was knowledgeable, professional and hard working making our trip that much more enjoyable.
We had an air conditioned cabin which made getting out of the sun for snacks/drinks more enjoyable. My youngest was able to nap comfortably from the Dramamine! I believe we all napped on the way back it was so comfortable inside.
We caught plenty of fish and even caught a shark we had to cut the line and an amberjack that we couldn’t keep due to the season.
We met the owner of the charter who was nice, pleasant and knowledgeable as well. Definitely want to do business with them again in the future.
