Sailed one morning with my two teenage daughters. Lots of people were catching "doormat" size fluke. We had some shorts that went back, some sea Robin and a mackerel. Caught a fair amount, lots of meat for dinner that night!

The crew and captains were all top-notch. They were there when you needed them and were always happy to help. I caught my first tuna ever on this boat and what an amazing experience. Thanks for an experience I’ll never forget!

I had a great experience with Gambler a few days ago during an offshore sea bass fishing trip. They know where to find the fish. The mates are extremely nice and are always there to help. I will definitely be back next year!

I took my daughter and grandson on a charter. Arrived early as directed and given gear and instruction. The crew was capable, kind, patient and very helpful. Caught mostly sea bass (5 keepers). We loved the whole experience!
