I have two complaints about Sea Dog Charters and neither has to do with poor fishing results which we experienced. The first and most important is that their brochure that's distributed to nearby hotels etc clearly states " space limited to 6 people per boat". What this means to a fisherman is that there will be ample room for anglers... More

We ended up fishing with Sea Dog 3 times this week. Each trip we caught fish. We went on a special grouper season opening trip. 11 groupers brought into boat and 3 keepers. Yellow Tail snappers running crazy on all trips. The crew bait your hooks take off your catch and help take pictures of you and your fish. They... More

capt. tim and matt made the trip very comfortable. they made sure everyone had what they needed and tried very hard to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves. equipment not shiny new, but it was a very good value for what you pay.tim and matt worked well together throwing in some banter to put a smile on your face.

Where do I start? First of all, ignore the whiners - this is a fishing boat, of course it's gonna smell like fish! It is manned by an amazing crew (we were on the Bad Dog with Captain Joe and Lou) and they try very hard to make sure you get your fish. We caught 25 fish, and had a... More

PROS: Good fishing experience over all, much better/larger fish (Yellowtail, Grouper, Snapper) than other charter we took. The first spot we tried the large Yellowtail started hitting immediately and fish were being caught left and right! The guy on the phone schooled me on how fishing is better at night however after the sun went down the action dropped off... More

we went on a full day offshore fishing trip on the sea dog. we were quoted a price over the phone and when we got there, they jacked it up 150 dollars. Captain Chris was very good. He tried very hard to put us on the fish. The mate Matt, on the other hand, put the ballyhoo out and never... More

Visited sea dog last week (march 2013). Went out on the Bad Dog with Captain Jim, who was very entertaining on the way out giving the safety speech as well as while fishing. He took us to a great spot and we caught 39 yellow tails plus another 20 or 30 we couldn't keep. All the staff were very friendly... More
