What People Are Saying
Jody went out of his way to give us the perfect adventure. Since our lobster diving went went longer than expected, he made sure that we were still able to see everything we planned. This was such a special experience and we would recommend Capt. Kid & Son charters to anyone who asked. We hope to see Capt. Kid soon on our next trip.
What an amazing day. Kayston was our captain and he took us the perfect route to see everything that we wanted. Thanks to Kayston for going above and beyond to make the trip great and captured the best pictures.
We could not recommend it enough. Thank you- the Richmonds.
Grand sense of pride in his profession, Country my eldest and her mermaid fantasy he was just top of the line Jody was incredible our scheduled day we lost a tire on the way due to pothole she worked with us n rescheduled I highly recommend the day of your life dream trip with Capt. Norman.

We're a family of seven (kids ages range from 12 to 20) and went out on a full day with Capt. Roy and his wife Linda.
It was a TERRIFIC day. Roy and Linda treated us like family - they spent tons of time with our kids and Linda even baked homemade cookies for us. They made the day PERFECT. We will always remember Capt. Crazy Roy and sweet Linda.
