We’ve been looking forward to this trip for a while, and it did not disappoint! We booked the 4-hour morning trip with my 3 kids, and Randy had us fishing in no time. We started by catching 50 croakers for bait, then went out for speckled trout. Once we hit the bag limit, we move...

Took a 4-hour trip with my two daughters (11/9) and had an awesome time! Captain had us catching bait fish within 15 minutes, and nothing makes kids happier than fish in the boat. From there, we headed to a spot where the captain knew the speckled trout would be, and we almost hi...

Had a great time fishing with Captain Randy! He was very knowledgeable and put us on the fish right away. Even when the triggerfish kept stealing our bait, he kept us fishing and having fun. Highly recommend Riptide Charters!

I’d recommend Captain Randy with Riptide Charters to anyone looking for a great hands-on experience. My fiancé and I had a blast and limited out on speckled trout!

What an amazing trip! Our 6-hour fishing adventure was unforgettable. Captain Randy knows every inch of the ocean and found the perfect spots for us. He even took time to point out sea turtles and stopped for us to get a good look. He was fantastic with kids, making my 10-year-ol...

Captain Randy was very professional and took care of all our fishing needs. He communicated with others in the industry to ensure a great fishing experience for everyone on board. Our fish and chips supper was absolutely delicious!

Texted him before booking to ask if we could specifically target red drum, and it was no problem! Got to the dock, talked through the plan—wasn't sure how the bite would be, so we went for trout to put dinner on the table. Did that in about an hour and a half, just one short of o...

A good captain can make or break an enjoyable trip. Although the fish weren’t biting well, Captain Randy kept checking with other boats and moved us to where the fish were active. We all caught fish, and I even accidentally hooked a stingray! A few crabs tried to steal our bait, ...

Even though the trip got cut short by rain, Captain Randy still put us on the fish. We couldn’t even keep the bait in the water—they were biting non-stop. Would definitely recommend!

Captain Randy was incredibly patient with my son and nephew. He was also very honest. We originally booked a more expensive trip, but due to rough waters, he suggested we stay in the sound. When it came time to pay, he gave me some money back because we didn’t do the more expensi...
