First rate Captains and boats. Knowledgeable about where to go. I only gave 5 stars because they didn't have 6

Bottom line charter was great! This was an awesome charter experience. Both Ernie and Tyler were very helpful in teaching us the basics and they made sure we had a good time. Even more importantly we caught a lot of halibut! This was a really fun experience and I would definitely recommend this charter.
