Makai Charters Customer Reviews

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 offshore charter with two children aged 8 and 12. The boat was impeccably equipped and maintained. Captain Larry and First Mate Bill were exceptional with the kids, patiently teaching them the ropes of offshore fishing, and they thoroughly enjoyed themselv...

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.

My dad and I had an excellent time on our outing with Captain Lawrence! He expertly navigated to the ideal fishing spot and handled everything seamlessly, working tirelessly throughout. His advice was invaluable, and I didn't have to handle the live bait or the fish at all. We ea...

Excellent day on the water with Captain Larry and First Mate Jake.  We were on flounder and sea bass all morning.  Great boat and equipment.  I am sure we will be booking with Makai again.  

Although our initial plan was to fish inshore, Capt. Coyle suggested we venture 10-15 miles offshore, and it turned out to be an excellent decision. For three hours straight, we caught fish nonstop, even though size regulations restricted us from keeping everything we caught. Des...

On a Sunday afternoon, I had an exceptional experience with Captain Lawrence and Mate Fischer. We had an excellent bite and managed to catch 5 keeper seabass and 2 trout for our dinner, with the fish keeping us engaged throughout the entire afternoon. I'm confident that I'll be f...

We were thrilled with our second fishing trip, as the captain had upgraded to a new boat with shaded areas and technology that kept the rocking to a minimum. It was such a comfortable ride that we even managed to catch a flounder, as well as around 30 other fish that we released ...

Our initial departure date had to be rescheduled due to rough seas, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The calm waters made for a much more enjoyable experience, even though we didn't catch as many fish as we had hoped for. However, we couldn't fault the captain or fi...
