Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Mark Elliott consistently puts his clients on fish from the moment they reach the fishing grounds until it's time to head back. His expertise shines through as he targets diverse species including Dorado, Dolphinfish, False Albacore, Bluefish, Striped Bass, Flounder, and even Tiger Sharks. Mark knows all the productive spots and adapts quickly to conditions - whether trolling offshore for gamefish or switching to bay fishing when weather demands it. He expertly fillets catches at the dock and teaches bait-catching techniques at his secret spots. Mark creates memorable family experiences that turn first-time boat novices into enthusiastic repeat customers. His communication starts before the trip with detailed weather and fishing condition updates, and continues throughout with patient explanations of techniques and genuine excitement when fish are biting. The well-maintained boat provides smooth, comfortable rides, while Mark and his rotating crew of experienced first mates handle all the details from baiting hooks to cleaning fish. Families regularly return year after year, with many customers already planning their next annual trip before leaving the dock.

Great keeping in touch in days before trip regarding weather reports and fishing conditions. Rendezvous was flawless and we were making our way out the marina bang on time. I am 64, and my two sons 31 and 33. All novices on a fishing boat. Trawling for small gamefish ? 20 to 30 ? miles out catch-and-release was our request. I let my 2 sons fish while I snapped pictures. By 8:40 a.m they had already caught enough fish that we were all smiles ! We did intend keeping count of what we caught, but lost track in one of the flurries. Guess around 25 fish mixed bag of Dorado, Dolphinfish and False Albacore. The Dolphinfish were “the dream”. Captain Mark and 1st Mate Tim spared no effort to give us a fine time. The boat was fantastic. Smooth comfortable ride there and back. When planning the trip, the boys and I spoke of “A trip of a lifetime”. Now we are talking more of an Annual Trip. Many thanks to Captain Mark and Tim. You made our dreams come true.

Had a good time with Mark and Joe. They are professional and tell you all you need to know and are very helpful. They bait the hooks for you. Clean the fish and help you overall with the experience. My only issue was the water was rough so I got seasick which of course is not their fault. I would do it again if the water was calmer and my stomach allowed lol

Took my sons, their girlfriend and my wife out for a 6 hour fishing Charter. The boat is beautiful, extremely clean and well maintained. Capt Mark was so easy to deal with and you felt extremely safe. He knew all the spots and we caught a-lot of fish. His first mate Bob was a retired fireman and worked extremely hard to provide a great time. Just a great all around experience. This is the only charter I would book.

Captain Mark found himself without a First Mate, so he had to be both captain and mate. It limited our choices of fish, but we still had a great time reeling in our capacity of bonitos and bluefish. We would book 'Gone Fishing' again.

Had a great time on Captain Mark’s boat. He was knowledgeable, kind and a pleasure to spend the day with. We did the 4 hour in the afternoon and caught more fish then we could handle. Our group had very little fishing experience and we all had a blast.

We had to switch to bay fishing because of the weather, but it turned out to be an awesome day catching tiger sharks with my son!

We had an amazing trip! Mark and Jay are excellent at their craft. The boat was clean, comfortable, and easily accommodated all six of us. We've already decided to book with them again.

We had a great day fishing with the captain and his crew. It took some time to locate the species we were targeting (DRUM), but once we did, the action was fantastic and the crew was exceptional. I would highly recommend "Gone Fishing" for an excellent time on the water. Tight lines!
