Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Ryan consistently puts clients on productive fishing spots, with groups regularly landing 40+ Spanish Mackerel, keeper Black Snapper, Mahi-mahi, and Speckled Sea Trout during half-day and full-day trips. His crew knows exactly where to find the fish, switching between topwater lures and bottom fishing techniques based on conditions. Customers report catching diverse species including Blue Fish, Lady Fish, and even encountering friendly manatees during their adventures. Ryan's genuine enthusiasm shines through in every interaction, from the initial booking call to the final fish cleaning service. Families especially appreciate how patient he and his crew are with children, taking time to teach young anglers about different fish species and making sure everyone gets Instagram-worthy photos. Multiple customers specifically mention planning return trips and refusing to book with anyone else after experiencing Ryan's hospitality and fishing expertise.

Captain Ryan and First Mate Alan were outstanding—professional, friendly, and quick to make everyone feel comfortable. November weather can be unpredictable, but they worked with us to adjust dates for the best conditions. Once we got out on the water, they had us on fish right away and we reached our limits fast. When the wind picked up and the ride became tough for my older parents, they immediately adjusted the plan to keep everyone safe and enjoying the day. Already looking forward to our next trip!

Captain Ryan and First Mate Alan kept us on steady action, putting us over multiple schools of Mackerel. With five of us on board, we brought in more than 40 fish—an awesome way to start the day. These two run a smooth, professional operation, and I’d recommend them without hesitation. Hoping to return for Red Snapper season.

Capt. Ryan kept us on steady action with plenty of bonita and a few kings, and the standout catch of the day was a big Mahi. An excellent 4-hour trolling trip from start to finish.

Ryan and Allen were excellent. They brought us to productive spots, and our group of six landed around 60 fish, keeping 40 during our 6-hour charter. I’d highly recommend them—Ryan runs the boat professionally, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. One note for future guests: the address listed on the app isn’t accurate. The correct meeting location is Pier 98, which is a bit farther from downtown PCB and adds a longer ride to the fishing areas.

We had a great experience with Captain Don. He is very knowledgeable and great with kids. We caught fish throughout our 4 hour trip. Ryan was also very nice and easy to work with to get our trip planned. We would definitely recommend Dauphins Charter Fishing.

Always an awesome experience. Took my 6 year old boy along with my employees and one of their kids. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience for all of them and me. Thanks Capt. & first mate

Amazing experience! Captain Don was the best. He spent time with my 6 and 10 year old teaching them about fishing and the different types of fish they caught. He was so patient and down to earth. We will definitely be fishing with him again.

From start to finish, Dauphin’s Charter Fishing exceeded our expectations in every way. Captain Ryan went out of his way to make sure we were taking the type of trip that fit our group best. He put us on hot spots all day so that everyone caught lots of fish. Allen made sure the college kids had “Instagram worthy” shots and made even the most novice fisher(wo)man not feel bad about not knowing a thing in the world about fishing. The fishing trip was definitely a highlight of everyone’s vacation. We will absolutely call on Capt. Ryan next time we are in the area!

This charter is perfect for a family outing, especially in early April. My wife and our three young kids (ages 7, 5, and 5) had an amazing time on our 4-hour trip. We landed over 40 Spanish Mackerel and spotted plenty of dolphins, which kept everyone engaged and excited. Ryan and Alan were fantastic—they go above and beyond to make sure the whole family has a great time. Highly recommend booking with total confidence.

Fun uncle outing with five teenage boys—everyone had a blast reeling in multiple Spanish Mackerel during our 3-hour spring break morning trip. Captain Ryan was excellent, and First Mate Alan was the real MVP! The whole crew had a great time, and we were back by noon. Cheers to a memorable day!

What an incredible trip! Alan was amazing, assisting with everything from rigging our gear to baiting the lines and handling the catch. The inside cabin was a perfect escape from the wind. We landed some big fish on our half-day trip. Highly recommend!
