Absolutely unbelievable trip! Went out in the bay and little man was smoking everything even after the storm. Sail cat , redfish, lady fish, pin fish. Michael could not have been nicer, more fun, or worked harder to get us on the fish.

Communication was excellent before and the morning of. Simply couldn’t have asked for anything better!

We will be booking again without a doubt.

Awesome fishing trip with captain Michael!!! With rough waters the day we had chosen he took our safety seriously and switched days and boats to accommodate the weather conditions. We had an amazing trip and had a lot of laughs with him at the helm. I would strongly recommend this company to everyone!!! He really wanted to make sure we had fun and caught some good ones!!! 10 grouper and 1 snapper later we were on Our way home. He filleted all of the days catch and bagged them up for us!!! Po boys and baked fish were the best ever!!! Thanks again!!!

Amazing day out with Captain Mike. Super knowledgeable and had us on fish the whole time. Added bonus is he was great with our kids 11-15, very calm and a great teacher. Our 11 year old got the catch of the day!!

We had the pleasure of going on a private fishing charter with Captain Mike. He knew exactly where to go to put us right in the fish. We had an amazing time and it was the highlight of our trip. We caught probably 30-40 fish. We kept the biggest ones and had fresh fish for the week. We couldn’t stop talking about what a great time we had. It was definitely a bucket list type of the trip!

Fantastic Day with Captain Michael. First of all he is just a great guy. Totally enjoyed being on his boat. Limited out on Grouper very quickly and the. Caught another 15-20, and had to throw them back. Also caught 15+ additional fish such as Trigger and some Vermillion Snapper. I’ve been on several charter trips in this area and rate this trip among the best

Capt. Michael was amazing. We limited out on Red Grouper in the first 3 hours of our trip. Michael is very friendly and experienced. We had a wonderful time

We absolutely loved our time on the water with Captain Mike. He was so knowledgeable and great with our party of four catching tons of fish and filleting them for us to take home. Highly recommend and we will surely book again if we come out this way next summer!

My family and I had an exceptional private fishing charter with Captain Mike Avinon this week. His professionalism, friendly demeanor, and deep knowledge of the Gulf were evident from the start. Captain Mike is a true expert at finding fish, making our trip both successful and enjoyable. This was, without a doubt, the best Gulf fishing charter I have ever taken. We will be using his services again and can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you for a fantastic day, Mike!

My family took a bay trip with Michael. Two adults, and two boys- 11 and 8. First off, Michael was very flexible and had a constructive conversation with me prior to the trip as I was the only one who had ever fished in/around the ocean. We decided on a bay trip with the tides and the weather that week. Since we were staying in Sandestin, he picked us up at the closest location to our rental, which was awesome. We then went 15 miles through the intracoastal......because that is where he knew the fish would be. We caught reds non stop from the time we got to the first spot, until time was up. While it is certainly about the fishing, it is always about the experience. Michael is kind, courteous, and knowledgeable. We wouldn't change a thing, and thank you Michael for being honest, personable, and working your tail off for me and my family. There is no doubt this man knows where and how to fish! You will not be disappointed.

Capt. Avinon has been my go to charter guy for years. I fish with him several times a year and bring new guests almost every time. Everyone has a great time catching grouper, snapper..... he's always shooting to fill the boat with a variety of fish!
