Captain Josh and deck hand Jace have the perfect balance of professionalism, knowledge, and passion that made our first Tuna trip unforgettable for our family.
Captain Josh patiently guides us in choosing the best plan for our group that have a young child, to a first time elderly senior both having the best time of their lives.
We will definitely add coming Venice for tuna fishing part of our yearly vacation plans.

We had a fabulous trip with Calcutta Gold!  We stayed on their houseboat, which was incredibly convenient for our early fishing departure.  Eric listened to what we wanted to do on our trip and gave us exactly the experience we wanted.  He and Jace were knowledgeable and helped us successfully navigate open sea fishing, without being overbearing.  They were kind, friendly, and lots of fun.  On top of all that, we caught enormous fish!  I have already told my friends that if they want to fish the Gulf, they need to do it with Calcutta Gold.

We received news when our plane touched down our original charter canceled due to engine issues [different company.] Calcutta Gold GRACIOUSLY picked us up at 9 p.m. Saturday for a Sunday all day trip. They were super friendly, and maxed us out on Red snapper very fast. Tuna fishing was tough, but they stayed on it and we were able to land some nice tuna. We highly recommend this Charter Service-Tammy & Dustin

Capt eric is a great captain. However I didn’t read everything knowing I was paying for gas separately. $900 on top of the $2200 which is ok. However the capt is supposed to supply the live bait which in the description it didn’t say you will be catching your own bait so you’re actually paying for gas and wasting time catching bait. The capt never showed us the fuel level before the trip to actually know if the boat was full or not. He hired a last minute hand to help with the trip. So while we had 6 people in our group fishing he had one of us unhooking the bait while 5 of us and the hired hand caught bait. Only catching about 30-35 baitfish we headed for snapper. It started great then the hired hand pulled out an electric reel and fished also. As we were putting fish in the box so was he which took from some of our group catching their limit. After catching about 15 snapper we wasted gas on a 20 mile run to catch tuna with only 30-35 baitfish. So we wasted 40 miles of gas on tuna with a hand full of bait. I do recommend this boat and captain just make sure on the fuel charges and the hired hand. We all felt he was out there for his on pleasure.
