I want to start by saying we called about 8 places and no one wanted to take us off-shore because they said the water was to ruff on the ocean that day (which proved, not true) it was a beautiful ride and a great day to be on the water. We did not have any recommendations even though my husband fishes often, we were just "visiting" Miami and were clueless. Luckily, we were referred to "Mark" in one of our calls and he was ready to go as soon as we could get there. He took us offshore and my husband cast his line. He caught onto a 7' Sailfish. He had never caught anything this large and Mark and his 1st Mate Ryan guided him the entire way. Moving the boat along with the direction of the fish and giving verbal direction as well "It was a BIG fish". Mark is absolutely "MAD SKILLED" in fishing and very knowledgable on the water. He knew what was caught and the size before I even was able to see the fish "breach". It was because of him that my husband was able to get that 7"Sailfish in the boat without an hitch. They are polite and funny and put aside the "MONSTER" fish my husband caught, it would have been a terrific day regardless. Really great guy, funny and makes you feel welcome aboard. We went as a couple and had a blast!! I would recommend any families, friends or couples to charter a boat through Mark. You will have a guaranteed "great time".. Thanks again Mark and Ryan. We have the best memory and the photo to match!!! Your are top notch "Mark the Shark"!!
