I've been on plenty of fishing charters and this was by far the best charter l've ever been on. David kept us on the fish and kept our lines baited. We were catching so many fish at one point that I have no idea how he kept up with us!! We ended up bringing in tons of Vermillion Snapper, Bonita and even a couple Barracuda!! And he has a beautiful and very comfortable boat. We had the best time!! Hope to come back down and do it again!

July 31, 2025A must do when in the Pensacola area! Mike was our guide and he worked his butt off to get us on fish. He was personable and so helpful. Our family had a wonderful time and everyone caught a number of different fish. We love seeing the dolphins and sea turtles while trolling. We will be back to the area in the future and we will happily book with Overkill Adventures.
Shawn was very informative and had great customer service, genuinely cares about people and their safety and takes pride in his boats! His boats are clean and well taken care of and is the best out there for rental. Thanks Shawn! We will be back!
Think of your ideal FL offshore fishing trip...now go book it with Overkill!!! Super easy to book on the site and quick response from the booking service. Captain David was knowledgable, willing to share said knowledge, easy going and fun. Everything was explained clearly, the gear was great and the boat is incredible, you can tell David and his other guides take a lot of pride in the fleet and it shows. We were on fish within minutes of trolling and hooked up at every spot we stopped during the day. Truly an awesome experience start to finish, thank you Capt David!!!
Fantastic Experience! We had an awesome day on the water thanks to Shaun! As boating novices, we really appreciated how simple he made everything. He walked us through the basics clearly and made sure we felt safe and confident. Shaun launched the tritoon for us, and from there, we had an absolute blast. At the end of the day, we just pulled up to the pier, hopped out, and Shaun handled the rest. It couldn’t have been easier. This will definitely be part of our annual Florida tradition. Thanks again, Shaun!
David was very easy to contact and talk with. He sent me some pictures of recent trips and I was really looking forward to it. I wasn’t able to make the trip due to my granddaughters medical emergency. I had to cancel with less than 24 hours notice. I would have lost 725.00 dollars if it hadn’t been for captain David helping me out on the fishing booker app. He never asked for any kind of documentation about the emergency but I did provide it to him. To be clear I posted this review to share that he seems to be a stand up guy! Not to encourage refunds or dumb crap like that. FYI he was booked up the rest of the days that we were there is the only reason we cancelled and didn’t reschedule. I’ve saved his information and will try again the next time we are back in the area.
