Testimonials
I had an incredible fishing trip with Captain Steve and Summer School Charters! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The boat was beautiful, clean, and well-maintained, and the weather couldn’t have been better. Captain Steve really knows his stuff – he took us to all the right spots, and we ended up catching a wide variety of fish. His expertise and friendly attitude made the trip even more enjoyable. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a beginner, I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Steve. I can’t wait to go back!
Captain Steve is incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. He has a beautiful new boat and is sure to get you on some great fish. He’s more than happy to share his knowledge and assist anglers of any skill level. His rates are definitely worth it—and then some! I spent back-to-back days catching a variety of species and learned a lot in the process. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
My son and I had a fantastic morning with Captain Steve Cacchio this morning. Lots of different species caught (red drum, black drum sheepshead, speckled trout, jack crevalle, stingray and even a bonnet head shark) and enough for supper tonight and tomorrow. Captain Steve kept us moving with the tide to stay where the fish were biting and had a very enjoyable experience. Highly recommend Summer School Charters for anyone looking for good company and good fishing!
