Our family of 4 had a fantastic time with Captain Patrick.  The passion he has for fishing and his customers really comes through.  We went out 15 miles and were catching fish within minutes.  Over a 2 hour period we caught over 40 fish, capped off by a 27 inch grouper on the last cast of the day.  Patrick and his mate cleaned the fish for us and then guided us to a place to get them vacuumed packed.  We also took some of our catch to get cooked at a local restaurant that specializes in cooking the fish you bring to them.  Patrick loves his work and really cares for his customers and was in great communication as we evaluated the weather up to the day of the trip.  Would go with Patrick again and again - 5 Stars !!!

Perfect trip for our group of friends, all you need to do is show up with snacks and drinks. Marina was easy to find and Captain Patrick had great communication to make sure we were prepared before our trip. The boat is perfect with plenty of space, seating, and roof for shade. We caught a great variety of fish and had an absolute blast. I would highly recommend paying for the extra hour if you are between the two. The day starts closer to land fishing for quantity and then you head further out for the quality. We had some battles and caught a few big boys. We couldn’t be happier we stumbled upon La Costa and this site.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Capt. Patrick and his First Matt Parker. We caught plenty of fish. Unfortunately we couldn’t keep all of them because of the sizes. I really wanted to keep the grouper I caught but it was an inch too short. We took the 5 hour morning trip and if I had it to do over I would have booked the all day trip. When we started trolling and got involved with the barracudas it really got exciting. I was able to catch the fish of my dreams. I only wish we had the extra time for my daughter and son-in-law could have caught one. For anyone coming to the area do a private charter with Patrick and La Costa Charters. You will love the experience as much as we did.

Weather canceled our 7hr trip but Capt Patrick got us on a 4 hr trip later in the week to at least get me, my son and grandson out on the water.  We went shark fishing and had a great time.  4 foot and a 6 foot black tip!! Great guys.  We’ll be back!
