My boyfriend was visiting for the 4th and I wanted to give him a great fishing experience because he was missing out on an annual fishing trip to visit me and let me tell you, this did not disappoint! Of all the excursions and trips I have been on, this was the one that I will never regret taking. I got all for what I paid for and more. Captain Chris was knowledgeable, knew the best places to get fish, we got there before everyone else, made us feel comfortable and truly cater the experience to want we wanted. 10/10 experience and I cannot wait to go back out with him. Highly recommend.
We did an inshore outing with Chris this past week and had a blast! We moved around to a few different spots and got our fair share of mangrove snappers, snooks and a couple other species. Chris was great with my 11 year old son. Answered his questions and had fun with him too! Next time we might be ready to try deep sea, but we will definitely be back no matter what the trip. You won't be disappointed booking with Offshore Hunters!
Great experience! They are able to accommodate you inshore and offshore. We had an offshore booked but it was to ruff, so we switched to inshore the same day and had a blast. Experience, flexible, and fun! highly recommend!
Just finished grilling some of the dozen sea trout we caught this afternoon with Captain Chris. The trout was delicious !! We had a great day , on a great inshore boat, with a great very experienced and comfortable Captain. My son and grandson ( 12) and a friend and his son (12) had a fabulous time . In addition to the trout, We caught a grouper, and more snook than we could count. Saw a ray, dolphins and three manatees . Would highly recommend Captain Chris if you want to Have Fun and Catch Fish. Jim from Michigan
We have fished with offshore hunters fishing charters for 5 years now and will continue using it them. Chris and his dad Veiko are amazing and wonderful captains. They will always do their very best to put you on dish and every time we have dishes with them we have caught fish and enjoyed every minute with them. They are very personal and very accommodating to family and friends of ours that have never fished before. We will always remember the memories that were made and continue to make more with them. They have become family to us and we love fishing with them. Thank you so much for all you do for us and we really appreciate what you do.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Highly recommend Chris for your next Fishing Trip!🐟🎣
My family had an amazing time! Chris was on time, super friendly, and great with the kids. Very helpful and made sure everyone had fun. They caught tarpon, snook, trout, and lady fish! Perfect for families—highly recommend! We will be booking again for next year’s spring break! Thanks for a great day of fishing!
My grandfather and I did a half day inshore trip with our guide Chris. Chris took us to 3 excellent locations for sea trout, snook, and sheepshead. We limited out on trout in about an hour or less, caught a handful of snook, and took 5 keeper sheepshead.
Chris was an excellent guide throughout the entire trip. He demonstrated over a decade of local expertise and was really knowledgeable and attentive to all of our questions. On top of that he was promptly baiting hooks and adjusting tackle for each situation. He was assertive yet very patient and respectful of skill levels.
We also had a lot of questions about doing an offshore trip in the future and Chris demonstrated a unique and thorough expertise.
This was my first saltwater fishing trip so I don't have anyone to compare to, but I have zero doubt that Chris is among the best. I will have zero hesitation booking with Chris for any inshore or offshore trip with full confidence that the trip will be exceptionally productive.
