Captain Smiley Fishing Charters

Despite the chilly wind, Capt. Patrick and I had a terrific day together! Patrick is knowledgeable and helped our young son enjoy fishing. He wished the journey would never end! We'll be back shortly!

Captain Buddy's charter was fantastic for us! It was a lovely day for fishing, and we also saw dolphins, two bald eagles, and a marine turtle. Captain Buddy graciously cleaned our fish and showed us how to hook 'em. Captain Smiley comes highly recommended for your upcoming charter!
