Makai Charters Customer Reviews

Captain Larry and First Mate Brett on the Makai gave us an awesome day out on the water—plenty of fishing and catching! The boat and gear were in excellent shape, and everything ran like clockwork. There were three of us onboard, and it would’ve been just as comfortable with a fo...

We had a fantastic time out on the water with Captain Larry and his mate, Thomas. They made my husband's birthday extra memorable and really knew the best spots to fish. The whole experience was smooth, fun, and well-organized. Definitely recommend booking with them!

Captain Larry and his mate were great. Took us out 10 miles or so. While we didn't catch a lot of fish on this day, we caught enough sea bass for a nice side dish for dinner. Would definitely re-book another trip with Makai. Very nice boat!

We embarked on a 6-hour nearshore bottom fishing trip with an excellent captain and first mate who were friendly and extremely helpful throughout. Despite the light catch of flounder, attributed to challenging sea conditions and algal blooms, the trip was enjoyable. The boat was ...

This was my first trip out of Delaware and only my third time fishing overall. My 7-year-old son joined us as well. Captain Lawrence was incredibly professional and did an outstanding job interacting with my son, my step-dad, and me. Although his mate couldn’t make it, the captai...

The captain and first mate were excellent, with deep knowledge of the area and ensured we had a successful fishing outing. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would enthusiastically recommend them for future trips.

The captain and mate were both friendly and accommodating. The boat was stunning. Despite the challenging conditions, we managed to catch fish. It was a perfect experience!

Had an amazing time fishing with Captain Lawrence and Thomas on this trip. Despite it being early in the season, we managed to catch enough keepers for two meals. Right at the beginning of the trip, we encountered a school of sea bass. We were consistently getting bites and pulli...

We had to put in some effort to get bites, but the crew successfully guided us to the fish and were wonderful with the kids. We were able to bring home a few nice keepers.
