The Controlled Chaos team is amazing. We booked them during a tournament in West Palm Beach. James and Scotty were patient with the kids and kept us on fish all day.

James and Scott created the perfect charter experience. Tons of fish and plenty of coaching on how to bring them in. We caught sailfish, kings, bonito and even hooked a shark. Action packed day.

Anyone who has taken a charter knows the captain’s personality matters as much as the fishing. James not only puts you on fish but makes the whole trip enjoyable with his great attitude and energy.

Controlled Chaos runs like a well-oiled machine. Everything from the boat to the gear is top notch. Captain James has incredible knowledge of the area and puts together a plan to keep fish coming in all day. It’s more than fishing, it’s a full experience.

I had an incredible time fishing with James. In one day I learned more from him than I had in weeks trying on my own. Plus my family got to enjoy an amazing fresh fish dinner after the trip.

Started out slow but then we hooked into a 70-lb sailfish which made the whole day unforgettable. Captain James and Julio were great and helped create an awesome memory for my son and me.

My dad and I had an awesome time. Captain and mate were fantastic. We caught wahoo, golden tilefish, and kingfish even though it was offseason. Couldn’t have asked for a better trip.

We fished with Captain James in August and had a great time. Fishing was a bit slow at first but he worked hard to find the bite. We caught some bonita and even saw sharks cruising around. James is fun, knowledgeable, and clearly loves what he does.

We just got back from our trip and had the best time with Captain James and Julio. They were great to talk with and shared a lot about fishing and life in Florida. They were patient when teaching us how to reel fish in and made the day relaxed and fun. And yes… the boat has a bathroom which was a plus!

James and the crew were professional but also really fun to be around. This trip meant a lot because my son and niece got to fish alongside their grandfather for the first time. Captain James made sure we got on fish and made it a great day.

After two incredible trips the past couple years with Captain James and Julio, I didn’t think they could top them, but somehow they did. We caught 8 or 9 different species and had more laughs than I’ve had in years. Truly a blast.

All I can say is wow. Definitely one of those trips you’ll remember forever. We had a bite right away but lost it, then not long after we landed a bonita. Soon after that we had a triple hookup with three different species. Non-stop excitement.

Stop looking and just book it. Captain James and Julio were fantastic. They clearly know their stuff and had us on great fishing spots almost immediately. We ended up catching around 10 mahi. Beyond the fishing, they made the entire trip fun and relaxed.

I can’t say enough about the amazing time I had with the Controlled Chaos crew. Their local knowledge really showed and paid off big time. We were on fish pretty much the entire trip. Honestly couldn’t imagine a better afternoon out on the water.
