Aqua Safari Charters

Cap’n Paul will do his level best to put you on the fish, and if your trip is cancelled (dammitalltohell, Tropical Storm Bill ’15 it was SNAPPER SEASON you stupid storm) they’ll work with you to reschedule if possible, and if not refund your full purchase price immediately.
We’ve fished with them twice (both as private charters on the Island Girl) on 9 hour blue water trips, and had great experiences both times. The mate on our first trip was amazing and my kids still talk about him 16 years later (shout out, Too Tall!!). The second trip was seamless and again, the mate did a bangup job of not letting my two girls feel squeamish about bait OR asking for help. (Sorry I don’t remember your name.)
This is not luxxxxxxury fishing with marlin chairs and champagne (I mean, I guess it could be if I packed it in a plastic bottle?), it’s damned good fishing with a damned good crew at a price that is MORE than reasonable, all things considered. Paul knows how to hire, for sure.
The hipbone bruises I earned (digging a rod into your hip for fun-​as-​heck-​to-​catch kingfish or shark will do that!), the memories of my then 8yo son bringing in his first shark to the CHEERS of a crew on an offshore oil rig, and the absolutely amazing haul of snapper (red and stupid-​delicious mangrove/​mango?) my then-​13yo daughter brought in… Is there a price on that? Is there a definition of «luxury» that outweighs those things? Nope.
If you’re waffling, do it. Just DO it. And remember the sunscreen, water, Benadryl/​Dramamine for that one «I never get seasick!» person. You won’t regret it.

We recently chartered the Island Girl for an ash scattering and could not have been more pleased. The crew was very accommodating and sensitive to our needs.
Everyone including the office staff were very helpful which made the trip much easier than anticipated.
