A great day at sea! Everything ran on time and everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Captain Kent and deck hand Reese along with Macco the pomeranian were knowledgeable and friendly. We caught 1) a blue marlin, about 100 lbs, tagged and released; 2) a spearfish, 35 lbs, that are only caught in Hawaii or Australia; 3) a tuna strike,... More

We've chartered fishing boats all over the Carribean and Florida and this was the best one thus far. The captain knew what he's doing. He's not a warm and fuzzy guy and isn't super outgoing, but he knows his stuff and he's serious about finding you a fish! He loosened up once we caught our 35 lb blue stripped marlin.... More

We booked a full-day private on the Sea Wife for 9 of us. Once we got everyone all loaded up, Capt Ken gave us the safety run down and on our way out, deckhand Reece gave us an orientation on the fishing gear. The boat was great. Lots of deck room and storage and the bridge is a nice breezy... More

We went out on 10/24. 6 people on a shared charter - we each caught 2. Clean boat, good people, and a really good time. I would go again in a heartbeat. More

We went on a half-day morning charter in early October with captain JD and deckhand Reese. I can honestly say I don't think I've had that much fun fishing in a while. We were a full boat of 10 plus crew with 6 people fishing. After explaining a few rules and the fisherpeople drawing numbered cards to determine the catch... More

I went on a trip on this boat to go fishing. I spoke with a nice lady at the office and then met the captain and crew. My wife gets seasick so she decided to stay home. We didn't catch fish and Captain JD was extremely rude and racist. He used the "N" word and said all types of rude... More

Had a wonderful time out on the water with Sea Wife Charters but didn't care for the captain Kent, he yelled at people a lot. Dude, we don't know anything about deep sea fishing and the little orientation went out of our minds when a fish was on. It was exciting to hook a fish and even better to land... More
