By far, the best head/party boats I have ever been on! The entire trip, from the very beginning to the end, was great! The crew and the captain were all very personable, professional, and passionate about what they do! The captain did an amazing job keeping us on the fish, and the deck hands did great at helping, identifying, measuring everything we caught! We caught fish at every hole, and had a cooler full of keeps by the end of the trip! The boat itself was great with plenty of outside seating, inside seating with tvs, 2 bathrooms, and an upper sundeck for sightseeing! We also saw numerous dolphins, which was a plus! I would recommend this trip to anyone and I can’t wait to book another trip with Pelican Adventures fishing Charters!

Two aunts and 2 children.
I have been on many walkin charters,  and this was by far the best. Everyone was catching and having a good time. They even set up poles to try and catch big fish. 
The deck hands were awesome!! They worked very hard to make sure we all had fun.
Unlike other walk on I have been on,  you were able to choose your own spot and were allowed to change it.
Please remember to tip your deck hands a minimum of 20%. They work so hard and that is how they get paid. Disappointingly we saw several who only tipped 5 to 10 dollars.

This was my son and I’s first off shore fishing experience. The boat, equipment and amenities were good, there was nothing more we thought of that we needed to enjoy. The overall experience was fantastic! Captain put us on some good fishing spots and the whole boat caught a lot of fish. Dennis, co-captain and guide, was great! His personality and demeanor is perfect for that part and with that crew and boat! Joe, Connor, TJ and Zack were the shipmates and were awesome! Zack was working our part of the boat and at the start of the trip I asked in conversation how long he had been with the boat. It was his second day! However, you would have never known it was, Zack was great! Very friendly and knew his stuff and worked very hard making sure we and everyone around us had all we needed the whole trip. As did all 3 of the other mates that I witnessed. After experiencing this trip, going off shore fishing will now be a “MUST” on our family beach vacations and we will not even think about going anywhere else but Pelican Adventures for it! Thanks again to Pelican and the crew of the Vera Marie for making the trip a memorable one!
