Great Trip!! - This was a top fishing trip all time for my son and I. We go at least once a year every year. And we caught a bunch of fish. We didn’t go so far out because we got the shorter trip, but we still caught a red grouper. Took home 9 keepers.

Great fishing trip - Excellent service, crew very friendly, had a great time out in the waters. Took us to great spots out in the waters. Smooth ride out and back to the dock. Check in was quick and easy. Very convenient parking in garage to where we check in for the trip

Fishing trip - My two grandsons and I had a great time fishing in the Gulf on the 5 hour trip from Hubbards Marina. I rented fishing poles and bought shrimp. Everything I caught was on shrimp. We managed to catch 7 keeper snappers. The mates cleaned our fish for us for a very nominal fee. We were then able to take our fish to the Friendly Fisherman restraunt to have them cooked for us, but that I'll talk about in another review. You can't go wrong with Hubbards.

Great captain and crew! - The crew (Peter and Dennis) were very helpful and friendly. We were a 3-person party, my wife and I and our son who turned 9 years old that day and whose dream bday adventure was deep sea fishing. He had a blast. Unfortunately, We picked not-so-great day for fishing, as the water was rougher than ideal. Actually, it was a great day for fishing but not for catching. In the way in Captain Will stopped at a place where everyone caught a few snapper. That saved the day! Next time I will take Dramamine, as I didn't do too well in the swells, but my wife and son had no problem.

Skunked! Lol. - This was the first deep sea fishing experience for my wife and I. My wife has wanted to catch a fish in the ocean and we thought this would be the day! But it was not. The staff and crew at Hubbard's Marina are excellent. Polite, kind, happy, helpful, and funny. This was our second of three excursions for the week with Hubbard's and the staff was great on every one. Hubbard's makes the fishing trip easy. We rented their rods and reels. They provided the bait. They gave simple instructions on how to use the equipment, and they took steps to ensure our safety. The trip was 5 hours, but half that time was spend traveling to/from the fishing areas, so roughly 2 1/2 hours of fishing time. Almost every person on the boat (roughly 60) caught fish. Except my wife and I. People on both sides were pulling them in like crazy. We obviously were doing something very wrong. We are not experienced fishermen. We did have fun. We enjoy any boat ride, and one that goes 15 miles away from shore is fun. But we really wanted to catch a fish. We really wished the crew would have observed us for a few minutes and helped us correct whatever it was we were doing wrong. But its not their fault we didn't catch anything. We are just really bad at fishing. This cost a bit of money, and getting skunked feels terrible. I'm not sure we will buy another fishing trip in the future. We might settle for catching our fish at a local restaurant. Lol.

Horrible - Horrible experience for me and my family of 6!!! Paid nearly 600 for nothing ! Caught a total of 6 fish and at end of day they went around with tip jar we handed 25 and basically got chewed out because apparently they deserved so much more for a large family ??? When the kids barely even fished ??? Anyways it was all the cash we had on us and he said will wait for you to go to atm !? As if he was demanding a bigger tip and no longer asking !?!? To make matters worse shortly after this he starts spraying bleach all around me and my kids I mean right on us we had to move are seats completely we couldn’t breath and we quickly realized they only did it around us. I guess punishing us for tipping 25 ??? Very unprofessional and will never do business with them again. The guys name was Jason, mid aged and went by name super jay. Be aware !!
