First trip of the year fantastic. Sad there were only 8 people and 4 no-shows. Despite the rudeness of 4 people, we had a great time and caught over 150 lbs of fish, 7 triggers, assorted Vermillion and white snappers, tons of banded rudderfish, squirrel fish and others. Rex and crew did the usual exceptional job putting us on fish.

This was my second trip on the Entertainer and it was absolutely amazing!! Capt Rex, Will and Danny go way above and beyond to make sure everyone has an awesome trip and catches lots of fish! I highly recommend this charter and I will be going out with them many more times.

We had a few days this week in December that were absolutely fantastic for fishing, and we took full advantage of that on one of them and filled the box with fish.....

Long story short, but we got canceled for another Charter, and thanks to the captain, he got us on Entertainment Charter. They came to the dock we was at and picked us up. The Captain and Crew were totally beyond words AWESOME. Was my wife first time deep sea fishing and thanks to the crew she has a memory that will last a life time. One of thecrew told me, "we aren't just about getting you all to the fish, but making lifetime memories for everyone who steps foot on the boat." Thank you all!!!

We had a blast! Thanks to the whole crew for a fun filled day of FISHING! We booked the 12 hour 6am-6pm option. They have everything ready to rock, and any help is seconds away! Great way to pretty much guarantee going home with fresh fish!

We chartered a sunset dolphin cruise to scatter the ashes of my mom and step dad. Captain Rick and deckhand Will were great to work with. They were very sensitive and accommodating to our situation. Even when we had a family crisis arise after we set sail they were willing to do whatever was needed. Will checked on us many times making sure we were comfortable and if he could help with anything. He was even able to play our requested song for the memorial service. It was such a sweet perfect experience for our family. The dolphins that followed us back made it even sweeter. Thank you Entertainer Charters for a wonderful memorable experience.

Today was absolutely thrilling! My husband and I had an unforgettable deep-sea fishing adventure aboard the Entertainer. The captain and crew were top-notch, and I can't thank Luke and Will enough for their guidance on baiting the hooks just right and dropping the line at the perfect depth. I'm proud to say that I out-fished my husband, reeling in the second-largest catch of the day. My niece stole the show though, catching the biggest bait fish at the last drop. We're already planning to return next year for another round, and I can't wait to see if my husband can reclaim his title!
