This place is a must see, they have hundreds of Tarpon swimming all over the marina. For about $5 a bucket, you can reach down and these prehistoric fish will come out of the water and suck down that smelly fish in your hand, don't worry they wont bite. They also have made to order food, I recommend the fish tacos and anything from the bar. This is a great time for everyone including little ones. They also have a little market with nick knacks.

Capt Charlie seems to show his guests a great time. He takes parties on a series of adventures on his boat or he takes them to relax at one of the sand bars.
