We had the absolute BEST time fishing with Captain Jeff and his 1st Mate John! Hands down the best experience we have ever had! We went on a 6 hour fishing trip and caught a ton of fish. The Captain and his Mate were very knowledgeable about fishing and the ocean. They were willing to share that information with us. For 5 First Time Evers it was an experience of a lifetime. We will be back next year looking to do a 12 hour trip with Captain Jeff and his 1st Mate again next summer! Great Music, Great Fishing, Great Personalities, and Great Conversation…I would recommend Above Average Fishing Charters to anyone whether a short trip or a long trip and I would definitely recommend the crew we had!

Above Average Fishing Charters is excatly that ! Our experience was above average, we caught more fish than w can count and Captain Jeff and John (crew) went above and beyond to make sure that we caught lots of fish and that we had a great time making memories with our grown children who enjoyed time on the water - they even out their phones down! We will be back same time next year or sooner! THANK YOU for being so awesome!! Captain Jeff is full of knowledge.

Loved it! Kids called it “better than Disney.” We booked last minute but the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful, even having to come into work last minute on a Sunday. Captain Bob is the best! Calm, helpful, knowledgeable, fun, and great with kids! He was busy helping us find the best spots, reel in fish, take photos, and adjust our kid’s sunglasses but he took everything in stride. Our whole family had a great afternoon and evening eating the fish we caught at the restaurant across the street!

Took my sons on their first fishing charter. Capt. Jeff and 1st mate John took us out for a great time. They put us on fish on various locations. We caught over 30 fish on our 4-hr. trip. We had a blast. Great Guys. Great Charter. Highly recommended

We had a great experience with Jeff and John! The guys thoroughly enjoyed fishing and caught a lot of different types of fish! Jeff was exceptionally knowledgeable about fishing and was happy to answer any questions! John was great with helping bait and remove fish efficiently! Both provided great entertainment as well! Comical and very personable! They made the experience! We would definitely rebook with them for when we come back!
