First of all, the captain and crew were fabulous. They made it easy to find the boat, got aboard and headed out without delay. There were a ton of rods in the water from the getgo. We caught a huge fish right away!

My family and I had an awesome day of fishing on the Shooting Star. We caught tons of fish! The boat was really nice and the captain and crew were really friendly. These are the people that catch fish even when no one else is. The fun was well worth the expense. Great time fishing!!

I've been on the boat 5 times and it's usually to impress friends visiting from out-of-town. On one trip we saw a super mega pod of porpoises. Captain Dave is great and knows his way around for the best reef and deep sea fishing.
