Capt. Dan is one of the best charter captains I have had the pleasure of meeting for a day on the water. You can tell he loves fishing, and he loves teaching people just as much! Highly highly highly recommend.

Extremely impressed with Captain Dan and Shawn, they went above and beyond during this trip causing it to be a success. Grouper, Barracuda, and some large sharks were just some of many species we caught on our 6 hour trip with Second Nature Charters.

My son went up to the Captain at the start of the fish and told him he wanted to fight the hardest fish to catch in the ocean... Boy did the Captain Deliver, we hooked into sharks, barracuda, yellowtail, mangrove snapper, and even a dusky shark measuring 130".

We went fishing with Captain Dan and his first mate Steve, caught a few smaller yellow tails and sharks, had a great time. Weather was a little rough but the captain and his crew did everything they could to get us on the fish.

Dan and Zane took my five boys and myself out on the water, what an amazing experience. The boys will definitely be telling stories to their friends when they get home. Thanks again for a great experience.

Captain Dan put us on some top notch fish, Steve worked his tail off cleaning, baiting, and netting mahi. Extremely customer focused, and don't get me started on how wonderful their ship is. Highly recommend 10/10
