My Family had an amazing experience with Capt. Damien, this was a true Holiday adventure and we enjoyed every minute. Capt. Damien was great with the kids age 9 and 15 as well as with my wife and myself. We are definitely coming back the first chance we get and will tell a ton of friends. Thank you

This was an amazing charter service. The captain was extremely knowledgeable and had us on the fish all day. This will most likely become an annual trip, and would recommend highly for anybody.

Had an awesome experience with Red Fish Charter Company. The experienced Captain had us on fish all day long! We caught well over our limit of Bull Redfish and Black Drum. Also caught a trophy Redfish tipping the scale at 33 pounds! If you are serious about Red fishing then Red Fish Charter Company is the guide for you will definitely be back!
