Absolutely loved this charter! All I wanted was to do a charter for my birthday. 6 of us went out with Capt Josh and First Mate, Trent. They could not have been better to us. We laughed, they matched our humor, they just were the perfect combo for our group.They set us up for perfect fishing. Lots of snapper & king fish. Couple trigger. We hooked a sailfish. The excitement as we were catching fish topped the whole experience. Not only were we excited for fish, they were too. Came home with a cooler of cut/cleaned fish.We didn’t even get off the deck before my husband and best friend’s husband were wanting to book another trip with them.5 stars isn’t enough for the experience we had with Capt Josh and Trent. They definitely deserve way more than 5. Not at any point could I say, I was unhappy with our experience.
You can definitely tell the difference between someone that cares and someone that is just doing this as a job. We were very fortunate to have a team of Captain Josh and first mate dustin. When the day started out as the mate that was supposed to go with us not showing up, I said uh oh. Josh did everything he could and more to make sure that the kids stayed engaged and had a great time. We went out and caught some bait and then caught a shark, a beautiful mahi which we ate for dinner and went one for two on sailfish. My son called his first selfish which was definitely awesome to see. I highly recommend Captain Josh and if are you I would request him personally.
I had an awesome day with Captain Josh and First Mate Trent. My family had a quick vacation to Hutchinson Island in August 2021 and Catch of the Day had a day open in our schedule. Great guys. Easy going but serious charter fishermen. The weather was good and we caught fish. A big deal for a guy from Ohio. I highly recommend this outfit and will call again when I get to Hutchinson Island.
If you are just a novice fisherman or a pro, this is the trip for you!!! I am a novice, but found captain Josh and Guy to be more than accommodating! Always encouraging and helpful! This was truly a blast, I would recommend to any fisherman! What a fantastic experience! Thanks guys, well be back...👍
Had a blast with Captain Josh and His First Mate!! Caught a snapper and a half because of a shark. Then got the opportunity to hook two sailfish and actually catch one of them! If you have a party of three or 5 this is the perfect way to go! 8hrs of fun!
Had a blast with Captain Josh and Trent on our dull day charter! Took my 3 Sons and went 3 for 3 on Goliath Grouper, 3 for 3 on Sailfish, 2 nice Mahi and a fat Blackfin Tuna! Do yourself a favor on your next family vacation and take a day break from the hassle of Disney and book a trip with Capt Josh! Were eating Poke for days!!!!Thanks for the memorable day on the water Captain Josh!
They knew exactly what spots to take me to and they’re was never a dull moment with captain josh and first mate Trent they always kept me smiling and laughing highly recommend them
Captain josh is a stud. Very knowledgeable on the fish and navigating on the ocean He and his crew were like hanging out with our buddy’s We had a blast and can’t wait to get back out there with them. You won’t be disappointed with these guys.
We had a great experience with Captain Josh and first mate Trent. After only a few minutes we caught two huge Mahi Mahi. Throughout the entire day we proceeded to catch 3 more! Throughout the entirety of the trip they were respectable and very accommodating to all of our needs. It was the best day out of trip to FL & we will definitely be back! 100% recommend!
Capt Josh has all the local tips an tricks to get you on the fish any time of the year. Its like going out on the boat with a old friend. We killed it fishing an had an awesome time on the boat. Cant wait for our next trip!!!
Josh and Chad set up a great day of fishing for us as we visited from out of town. Catching fish was incredible. We seemed to catch ever variety including Mahi-mahi, Kingfish, and Cobia. Five of us fit comfortably on deck as Josh and Chad shared knowledge and stories all while working very hard to keep the bite very active and organized. Thank you for prepping these delicious fis for the table. Life long memories from this day well spent earn Catch of the Day FIVE stars!
Captain Josh is awesome and puts you on the fish! Not just that, but is willing to teach you how if you are willing to learn! Hooked up with a monster Mahi, Sailfish, and Bonita. Even though it was a little rough, turned out to be a great day. Planning my next trip now.
Another adventurous day on the water with Captain Josh. Yellowtail Snapper were the fish of the day. I pulled in a 3lb. Yellowtail which is quite large for this area and it was a blast with it shaking its head the whole way to the boat. We also pulled in two Nurse Sharks and a 3ft Bull Shark. If you are looking for a great time of fishing, Captain Josh is your guy. Keep up the great work!!!
Booked a 3/4 day trip today. Wonderful time, and great crew! Definitely will book again when I’m back here in the future. Highly recommend
Awesome Capt and crew! Want to catch fish?! We limited on V. Snapper and caught lane snapper, mutton, banded rudderfish and plenty of Black Sea Bass. Had so much fun, we booked a second day and repeated, and then added mackerel to the list!
Had a great time with Catch of the Day fishing charter! We missed Captain Josh, but Captain Alex and first mate Ashley did a great job. This was our first experience with deep sea fishing and we caught some once in a lifetime fish! A Sailfish that was close to 5’ and a giant Goliath Grouper estimates at 300lbs were the highlights of the day! They were very active in trying to keep us on fish which was great! Would definitely recommend this group for your fishing adventure!!!
Booked a FULL day with Catch of the Day Charters for my friends birthday. Had an absolutely amazing time and caught some great fish. I highly recommend!!
Capt Josh knows how to fish. On a day when not much was happening we landed 3 keeper Mahi. 5 Bonita and a sailfish on the day. We also had a great time.
My review is for captain Josh himself. Captain Josh unfortunately was not able to accommodate my group for the day I had to have. I was surprising my husband for his 50th birthday and was looking for a charter for a specific day as we had people flying in to surprise him as well from other States. Captain Josh went above and beyond to help me find another charter that could accommodate us. Even though we are not able to fish with captain Josh, his integrity rings true. Not many people would take their time to help somebody knew that they were not going to make any money off. Thank you again captain Josh for finding us a charter.
Was fortunate enough to fish the Treasure Coast Bonito Blast on the Catch of the Day this past Saturday and had a great time. Captain and crew were easy going and personable. Captain put us on the fish and there were a few personal bests caught that day. Thanks for a good time, hope to see you guys again soon!
Captain Josh and first mate Chad gave us an experience of a lifetime. We caught a little bit of everything and they made sure we had a blast all day. Thanks again fellas and can’t wait until we can go out again. Went on a 9 hr fishing trip and not a dull moment. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Fished yesterday May 24, 2020Family friendly, competent and experienced fishermen! Captain Josh and First mate Chad gave us a wonderful memory. These guys are gentlemen, experienced fishermen, and have wonderful senses of humor. Great experience for visitors or locals - We caught fish and will charter fish with them again !Worth every penny!
Great experience. Very professional and met all expectations. I plan on going again and would recommend to friends and family.
My wife and I fished with Josh out of Stuart, Fl and he was an excellent guide as well as a great teacher. Not only is he friendly and patient, we caught an assortment of fish using different methods. Would highly recommend him.
What an insanely great day of Offshore Fishing. My Boys ages 9 and 8 accompanied me on this trip - Joshua did not fail from the moment we dropped bait we were on it - Sailfish, Mahi, Mutton, Sea Bass, the list just went on - 1st mate Chad was stellar for this adventure. Grateful for Joshua and 1st Mate thorough knowledge and commitment to fishing. They were insightful, patient and knowledgeable. We all will be coming back because its an amazing thrill and fun, what else could you ask for? If you want to battle Sailfish and others this is your Captain - recommended 100%....
Chartered for a day with my family with 4 kids ages 16, 14, 11, and 8. Could not have been more pleased. They catered to our desires to get the kids into fish, and to catch fish they could eat. We came home with a huge haul. I will definitely be back with friends for a trip to catch bigger fish because I believe it would also be a great trip. Josh was easy to contact. Alex was a great captain. Could not be more pleased. We will be back.
Fished quite a few times with Josh the Captain of Catch Of the Day Charters! He is such an experienced and knowledgeable Captain and Fisherman! Our fish box never comes in empty! If the bite is slow trolling, it’s off to his secret bottom fishing holes to get some Grouper and Snapper! I highly recommend Josh and Catch of the Day Charters!
Went out with Captain Josh. The boat was super clean, tons of room very comfortable. Very comfy bench seat inside the boat. Loved every minute of it. Highly recommend Josh and Catch of the day charters inc. He put us right on the fish and is truly an expert and very fun captain. Keep them dad jokes rolling! Thanks again for a magnificent trip.
WOW......incredible and best fishing experience of my life fishing with Josh. We got into monster bull sharks and Goliath grouper. Crazy battles. Had the time of my life battling giant bull sharks. The wife also had so much fun catching the little guys like red snapper etc. If you’re looking for a fishing guide that’s professional, fun and gets you hooked onto the fish, look no more call catch of the day and set up your adventure with Josh. Can’t wait until the next hook up Josh which will be soon. Cheers 👍
Captain Josh and Ron were really fun to fish with. Both absolutely knew what they were doing. Caught live bait fast and were off to the first spot catching kings, grouper and sea bass. At the first sign of the bite slowing they took us out a little further to drift. Hooked up with more kings and had more fish dip than we could handle the next day. Great experience. Highly recommended!
Great fun!! The fish were cooperating, and even though we lost it at the boat, the mate FREE GAFFED a cobia for the win!Would go again!
I went on Catch Of The Day with 3 friends who had never been on a charter before and they had no idea what to expect or to do. The Mate and Captain were wonderful with my guys, they put us on fish fast, taught the green horns what to do in just a few minutes and before we knew it fish were flopping everywhere on fishing rods waiting to be taken off the lines. We caught 6 giant kings, tons of lane snappers, sea bass, mangrove snapper, parrots and even a few sharks. I come to Florida every year at this time of year to fish for a week or two, you can bet that Catch Of The Day will be the boat that I will be hiring. Thank you Captain Josh for a great day of fishing, see you next year, I will be booking early. Don
Greatest Captain in the area. CPT. Josh really knows the local waters. He always fills the box full of fish!!!
We had such a great time with Captain Josh and Jake. They were very professional and did everything for you (from seating up all the lines, and checking them regularly to flaying our fish). Josh was also extremely helpful in accommodating us at the last minute and fitting us into a rain free window, in an otherwise rain filled week. We will definitely book with Captain Josh the next time we are in FL.
I went out yesterday for a 7 hour Bottom fishing trip. We left at 7am and by 7:30 Josh found the fish by 8:30 we had at least 10 boats around us. Even the other captains know who the best boat is. I caught huge snapper, African Pompano, Cobia, king fish and even had a few sharks on. My arms are aching today!! Great day!! I’m planning an overnight Sword fish trip when I came back. Fish with Josh and you won’t be disappointed. When you go fishing with him, it’s more Catching than fishing!!!
We booked a half day, morning charter with Captain Josh. Walking down the dock and up to the boat, we were surprised how the boat looked even nicer than in the pictures. We headed out and was greeted by a choppy ocean, but was very comfortable in the cabin with bench seating. Fishing was a little slow and Captain Josh and his mate John, were very knowledgeable and accommodating in finally locating us some fish. Just as we were headed in, a nice little storm came in. Once again, the nice ride and oversized cabin played another key role in the enjoyment of our trip. A well earned 5 stars, and cant wait to go again!!!
Great night time sword trip. Very skilled and fun catching my biggest to date.
Josh showed our group a great time. He and mate Chad both worked hard on our all day charter. We fished several different ways and caught sailfish, kingfish, grouper, snapper, bonito, shark, triggerfish, remora and more. The guys are knowledgeable and fun. We have all been on a number of charters and we would rate this one among the best.
Awesome day with Capt Josh
These guys are great! Had a blast of an 8 hours. Caught a bunch of fish to take home for the whole group!
First Class Excellnce in every way! By far the best charter I have ever experienced. Josh was a true treasure trove of information. The best part was the fishing of course! I was truly pleased beyond expectations. Keep up the great work and professionalism Captain Josh....I’ll be back soon for some more fishing soon!
Great day out with Josh and Chad. Capt. And Mate work great as a TEAM to provide an enjoyable and bountiful day of fishing. Their knowledge of the local waters and techniques got us on the fish and help us land plenty. Will definitely go for a long day when visiting next year. Book a trip with Josh now, you will not regret it.....
We had a great time with Catch of the Day Charters out of Stuart, Florida. Captain Josh was knowledgeable, friendly and put us on the fish. The boat was great, even though it was a little rough out the boat was very stable and always felt safe and comfortable. I would definitely go with them again and highly recommend Captain Josh and Catch of the Day Charters.
Captain Josh did a great job of getting us on a good catch of yellow tail snapper on a very challenging weather day, wind and big waves. He has a very clean and comfortable boat, and was quite knowledgeable, helpful and courteous with us as some of us weren’t as experienced as others.
Best trip ever!! This was my first time ever taking a charter and I would absolutely use Catch Of The Day again on my next one. The boat was extremely clean and the crew was so helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. The boat was one of the most comfortable boats that I’ve ever been on.
Went out with Josh Grau on the Catch of the Day last week, very nice operation. Wide boat, plenty of cabin space and clean. Diesel ran clean with no smoke which is a big deal for me and Josh has plenty of local knowledge for what ever you want to do.
Had a great day out with Captain Josh. He kept us on the fish all day. Was a little choppy but we stayed dry and warm in the cabin. His boat takes the rough water and is very quiet. We had a delicious meal that night of our catch of the day.
If you are in the Stuart area and want to catch fish this is the boat for you! A very safe and comfortable boat with a great captain and extremely knowledgeable and helpful crew. They help the most experienced and beginner anglers alike put trophy fish in the box. Once you fish with them you will never fish on another boat!Captain Tom Smith
We had experienced and first time fisherman and everyone had a blast. I have no idea how many fish we caught but it was a lot. It was Mitton, rudder, lane snapper, Alamo, grouper and others I cant remember. Captain Josh is great and we highly recommend this charter. John Proctor
Went out wish Josh last week. We caught a sail wahoo and cobia. And a lot of bottom fish. First class captain and person. He took some of our catch home and made sushi and brought it back to the dock the next day. Highly recommend. I’ve been on a lot of offshore charters and Josh was without question the best captain I have had.
Catch of the day was amazing. He def knows how accomdate everyone from the professional fisherman to guys like me who just catch a buzz. LolJosh and Jake really made this a great trip, very personable, and def knows how to show everyone a great time.Thank you Josh for making this an amazing weekend with everlasting memories.
A great morning of fishing! Josh knows these waters really well. Looking forward to another trip!
Had a great time fishing on the Catch of the Day. Even with 5 to 6 feet of waves the boat handled really well. We caught 20 fish, 7 different species. It was a fun experience and Captain Josh was very helpful.
Saved our vacation! Josh saved our vacation! It was the 6th day of vacation and we had to check out the next morning. We had booked and had 4 trips cancelled by other boats. We saw Josh on the dock cleaning his boat and prepping lines for his trip the next day. We talked a little and he offered to take us out RIGHT THEN as it was the last chance we had to go fishing. We got on fish right away, caught a bunch of species and got to bring some fish home in the cooler! Thank you again Josh! The wife and I have literally said a couple times that you saved our vacation! We will definitely be calling when we are heading back to the Stuart area!
Jeff is very accommodating and patient with a first timer like me. He and first mate chad made sure I caught fish and enjoyed myself.They took my comfort and safety very seriously.Make sure you book with Jeff directly on google or Facebook for best results.Thanks guys for a great day.Old man Gaudet
Great day on the water.... Josh the captain is very knowledgeable, courteous, and will put you on the fish. Boat is fast and comfortable. looking forward to the next day out..
Great charter, very knowledgeable, and great customer service. If going on a charter be sure to ask for *Skyler*, he moves like Ricky Bobby and will keep your line baited and in the water at all times. Great crew and great times.
Great boat! Great captain! Knew all the spots and I will definitely use him again. Recommend to all.
Captain Josh and his crew know their business. Not only did we catch plenty of fish, but the boat was comfortable and had all the proper safety and modern electrical equipment that a true charter boat has. Thanks guys! Look forward to our next trip out!
Crew is very friendly and knowledgeable. Put us on the fish!!
Great vacations in Florida. Non stop action fishing, clean boat, plenty of room. Would be great to go once again!
We had such a great time on Catch of the Day! Josh the captain knew all the best fishing spots.
Awesome captain and Chad was an awesome first mate. Caught a bunch of fish and a nice grouper!
Took my boys out fishing and we killed it, great captain, great mate, great boat. Look no further.
Boat is very comfortable and the crew was very knowledgeable. Highly recommended to catch fish!
We always have great time fishing on this boat, Plenty of room and a very nice ride. Captain josh knows how to find the fish!
Out charter was great! Josh is the best captain and the boat is great. Catched cobia, sheepshead and amber jack!
Caught 15 fish. Highly recommend this charter.
