Captain Nate was a phenomenal captain he was great with my 11 year old son who was a bit nervous about the trip. Captain Nate made sure everyone of us caught a fish!! I was really there to spot some dolphins and Captain Nate really went out of his way to make sure I did! I would recommend Captain Nate to anyone looking for for an experienced and family friendly adventure on the water. We will definitely be back with captain Nate next year !!
