MM Charters Customer Reviews

Our initial plans with another company fell through, and in hindsight, it was a fortunate turn of events because Tim provided us with exceptional service! With our family of four on board, Tim ensured our fishing lines were always well-stocked with bait and the excitement never waned. He put in dedicated efforts to guarantee we had successful catches and introduced us to some fascinating fish species. To top it off, he expertly filleted the fish we were able to keep. We're already in the process of scheduling another trip with him for the upcoming Tarpon season.

Our day with Tim and his first mate, Lillie, was truly wonderful. Tim's dedication to ensuring we had a successful fishing outing was evident. His intimate knowledge of the area and his willingness to accommodate our needs made the experience even better. We were treated to some remarkable sights during our adventure, including a massive manatee, jumping stingrays, and a friendly dolphin that seemed eager to join us on the boat! The day was a perfect blend of fishing, delightful conversation, and basking in the ocean's beauty, all thanks to Tim and Lillie. Without a doubt, we'll be reaching out to Tim the next time we're in town. We may even come prepared with some special treats for Lillie to express our appreciation for the exceptional day we had.

I made a reservation for my son and me, and our day out on the water was thoroughly enjoyable. Although the water was slightly choppy, it was well within manageable levels. Captain Tim expertly navigated us to several serene fishing spots where the fish were eager to bite. We practiced catch and release for most of them, preserving the marine ecosystem, and selected a few for a delicious dinner. While it might be some time before I return to Florida, I'm certain that I'll be reaching out to Captain Tim for another memorable fishing experience when I do.

Captain Tim's expertise truly shone during our outing! His knowledge of the best fishing locations, the ideal tackle setups, and bait choices ensured a highly successful trip. Beyond his competence, he exhibited kindness, professionalism, and exceptional patience. Initially, we anticipated a day of catching smaller fish offshore, but the highlight of our adventure was our son's thrilling experience reeling in an impressive 8-foot shark! Tim's dedication to providing us with an extraordinary experience was evident, and he even granted us the opportunity to take a refreshing swim at the beach. We wholeheartedly endorse Captain Tim and are already planning more excursions with him in the future. Our investment in this trip was unquestionably worthwhile, fulfilling the dreams of our avid outdoorsmen. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-time fisher, Tim comes highly recommended for an unforgettable adventure.

Great day fishing with Capt Tim! Put us on fish, hooked us into some monsters and made us laugh when the dolphins stole our catch! Highly recommend for the money. Don’t eat the puffer fish

I had reserved a Tarpon fishing trip for May 13, 2023, with my 13-year-old son. While there were some communication challenges leading up to the trip, as I hadn't received any confirmation messages or calls regarding the meeting point, things took a slightly rocky start. When I attempted to access the "show on map" directions in Fishing Booker, it directed me to the wrong location. Subsequently, I drove to another address listed, which turned out to be the correct one. Regrettably, the Tarpon didn't prove very cooperative during our excursion, but that's often the nature of Tarpon fishing. Nevertheless, Captain Tim persevered, making every effort to give us a chance at hooking a Tarpon. Unfortunately, it appeared to be a tough day for all the Tarpon boats in the area. I felt disheartened, especially since this trip was a special birthday gift for my son. In a commendable display of flexibility, Captain Tim proposed a Plan B, suggesting we switch to some shark fishing. Although I was somewhat discouraged, Tim went the extra mile by heading to the marina to secure chum and bait for our new plan. I genuinely appreciated his dedication to ensuring we had a memorable experience. Tim succeeded in getting my son connected with four small sharks, and the sight of my son's beaming smiles did wonders to dispel some of my initial disappointment. Captain Tim even went a step further by allowing my son to take the helm of the boat for a brief period on the return journey. Moreover, he suggested some dockside fishing as we headed back, resulting in my son catching a snapper. Tim's adaptability and commitment meant a lot to me, and I am grateful for the enduring memories of our shark fishing adventure. It's worth noting that not all captains would have readily embraced a Plan B. Some Tarpon captains might not have even allowed their clients to handle a rod and reel. For that reason, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Captain Tim for going above and beyond to make our day on the water a memorable and enjoyable experience. Thank you, Captain Tim!

During my twenties, I resided and worked in Boca Grande, and this journey marked my return to the area after a three-decade absence, all in pursuit of the magnificent Silver Kings of the Pass. It held significant sentimental value to me as I had the opportunity to share this part of my personal history with my wife and son. Although the boat we used might be a bit older compared to some others we encountered on our trip, it provided a stable and reliable platform that effortlessly met our requirements. Our Tarpon fishing adventure resulted in hooking up with seven or more Tarpon, out of which we successfully landed two. My wife and I even experienced a thrilling double hook-up, although regrettably, mine was lost during the battle. However, my wife's determination paid off as she successfully landed her Tarpon after an epic 45-minute struggle. One of the highlights of our day was the exhilarating experience of sight casting to a group of Tarpon feeding on the water's surface and successfully hooking one. This excursion left us with aching arms and beaming smiles, a true testament to the joy it brought us.

This past Saturday, my sons and I embarked on a charter trip with Tim, and I cannot emphasize enough what an incredible time we had. The moment we arrived at the chosen spot and the boat came to a halt, we immediately started hooking into sizable fish. We encountered a few instances where we were broken off, but each time, Tim promptly provided us with a freshly-rigged fishing pole and bait, ensuring that the action never waned. Tim's unwavering dedication to keeping us on the fish and maintaining our excitement throughout the trip was truly remarkable. We owe a big thank you to Lillie, who accompanied us and added an extra layer of fun to the adventure. Her presence kept us all engaged and alert. We're already in the process of scheduling another excursion with Tim for the upcoming spring season. I wholeheartedly recommend Tim to anyone seeking a fantastic fishing experience while having an absolute blast. Tim, thank you for providing us with an unforgettable time on the water.

We went on a half day trip and a 6 hour tarpon trip all in one week. Captain tim put us right on the fish and did a great job. He is very patient with our 6 and 9 year old boys also and made sure they were baited and ready to go. If you want a good fishing charter for a reasonable price go with Tim.

Surprised my husband with the 1/2 day a.m. trip for Father’s Day. It wasn’t the best day for fishing but Capt. Tim never gave up trying to keep us on something and keep the kids happy. We managed to bring home several trout, a few mangrove snappers, and caught several that we couldn’t keep. Even had a shark snatch one off my line right at the boat! We will definitely be back for a longer trip!
