Capt brandy was wonderful! Had a kick a$$ time! Coolest staff ever that made the entire day enjoyable.. were very knowledgeable about fish and the ocean. I know its a pain looking for a boating trip when theres 55 of them. Just do yourself a favor and stop looking around and book with harbor walk. I promise you wont be disappointed! Really cant wait to come back and do it again with you guys! Thanks again!

We had a wonderful time on a four hour fishing trip with Capt Brandy and Alex. They guided us to some great spots where we could bottom fish and we caught the limit of trigger fish! The fish we took home was delicious! Both crew members were amazing and made the trip seamless, fun and exciting!The company has some nice small shared charters for those couples or singles that want to fish but not pay for a private charter for just 1-2 people. An excellent tour to take if you don’t want to do a private charter, there were only 9 people on our trip.

I booked online 5 days in advance for a group charter. The day before our fishing trip I get a message that they didnt have room for our group of two. I understand that they are busy but it was still upsetting especially after booking online, getting a confirmation, and even getting a reminder the day before of our upcoming trip. The company refunded my money after I declined to do an afternoon outing (originally booked for 6 a.m).

Went out in Early May on the AL-Le with Captain Steve and Hand Ted. Had a blast, we did a short 5 hour early morning trip caught a decent amount of bait fish and they put us right on top of Mahi, Triggerfish, and Snapper for the majority of the trip. Very knowledge and helpful throughout the trip and cleaning the catch. Would recommend and return!

I was supposed to go on a morning trip last Saturday but had to be moved to next weekend which isn’t their fault due to weather. They called to let me know that I would be moved to next Saturday, June 26. I get there @5 AM and they said the boat was already booked full. They said they tried to call but had the wrong number even though they called the week before. The lady said she could try to put me on the afternoon trip and only charge me the $210 per person morning fee since they messed up. Now I got a bank statement saying that I was changed $530 ($255 per person afternoon fee) for a trip that I couldn’t make because of their mistake.

I chartered 2 boats for a party of 19 roughly 3 weeks before the date I was scheduled to go fishing and when I booked these I asked if the boats had decent speed. I was going to have 8 on one boat and 11 on the other. The day before the trip someone called me and told me one of the boats I had booked had to cancel b/c one of the deck hands had quit. They then moved me to another boat, but this boat could only accommodate 6 ppl. So now I have 13 on one boat and 6 on another.The cost of the boats were pre negotiated and the day I arrived I was charged more for the boat accommodating the 13 ppl b/c the other boat had to cancel. Should not have been a problem b/c it was their boat that canceled. When a client cancels, they charge you full price.Both boats were scheduled to leave a 6 am for an 8 hour trip. The group of 6 got on their boat at 5:55 am and either the captain or deck hand came out and said it is a federal offense to board another persons boat without permission. SERIOUSLY - what a way to start a trip.The rest of us boarded the Miss Nautica. We start out at 6 am. We get outside the jetties and the deck hand asked me for money to buy live bait (even though all bait and tackle are suppose to be included). So we have to go get live bait. We went between 17 - 20 miles out and when I say the Miss Nautica is slow, I mean it is super slow. It took us 4 hours and 15 mins to get this far out, so we did not start fishing until 10:15. The deckhand on the boat had only been doing this for 1 month, so he was very inexperienced. My son and I stepped in and started helping all of our friends. We fished until 2:00 (the captain gave us extra time b/c the boat is soooooo slow). We started our way back in at 2 and we arrived at the dock at 5:30. 3 1/2 hours to go 17 miles. So we were on the water for 11 1/2 hours and fished for 3:45 mins, over 7 hours of riding.We got back to the dock and the deckhand started cleaning the fish and the captain never offered to help (as he cleaned himself up and watched) and instead my 13 yr old stepped in and started cleaning the fish, probably 2-1 over the deckhand.I spoke to the owner of Harbor Walk and she did finally credit the additional 2 ppl from their mix up, so that was nice, but overall this was the worst charter service and by far the worst boat I have ever dealt with and been on.WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO NOT CHARTER THE MISS NAUTICA. This boat should not have been approved by the Coast Guard as a charter fishing boat.

I have used this charter twice & caught fish both times on separate boats. Nice lady who runs the place. Getting on fish was never an issue. Captain & hand were knowledgeable, accommodating & helpful on both occasions. I would recommend them & will be using them again.

Was very exited to go on my first fishing trip and I trusted this agency to book me . They booked me ( and 7 more people ) on a non functioning boat . We waited a hole hour in front of the boat until captain showed up and was shocked to know that he had passengers that day . They offered to rebook me later that day but I had already lost trust and enthusiasmI would book directly with the captain next time if I can and bypass the middle person . They are nice but clearly don’t know what they are doing

We did not end up getting to go fishing due to our kids getting sick before. I wanted to say thank you to the staff for being so understanding and not making a big deal out of it. Thanks again, we will be back and will undoubtedly be going fishing with you guys.

SAVE your money and your time. If you want to ride around on a boat for hours and not fish go ahead. My husband and i did this charter and fished for 30 mins. When i called and talked to the manager she told me that there are not a lot of fish in the ocean. She explained to me about fish they cant keep and have to throw back and its not a guarantee to catch anything. That is understandable but she you dont catch fish when you dont fish and just ride on the boat.

Good price for some deep sea fishing. We had a good time and only had 6 people including ourselves ( 3 of us ) on the boat not including the crew of 3 including the captain, So 9 total bodies on the boat.We caught quiet a bit of fish, but mostly while we were going to and from. We were able to catch quiet a few smaller fish but the deep sea fishing was a fail for us. The fish were taking hooks left and right and we were unable to actually catch anything big while we were stopped. I am no fisherman so I can not say this next thing for sure but it seemed to me like inferior equipment maybe the line was old or not strong enough? We had many big bites and as soon as we would start to reel in the fish would let go or take the hook.Overall my first deep sea fishing trip was a pretty good time. Will have to go for longer than 6 hours next time.Would come back to again and recommend to others.The crew was nice and helpful.

The good news is that we were able to get on a boat for our group of 8 at the last minuet. The bad news is the boat looked like something off deadliest catch. Very old, run down, and musty smelling. Could not eat inside cabin. The inside looked like a kids dorm room with opened chip bags on seats and it smelled like gym socks. The deck hands were helpful and moving/talking really fast but it appeared they had not slept in many days. We caught 10 fish with 8 on boat. It cost $1,500 dollars for 5 hours. The boat was a huge let down for what we paid.

Harborwalk Charters is a great company to book your fishing trips with! They offer private and group trips and will work their hardest to fill all of your fishing needs. I highly recommend booking with them

We had a great time. What I appreciated the most was that cpt Brady returned my call the day before the trip and answered questions and concerns that I had. The boat was clean and well maintained and we were the first ones out right at 6. Everyone on board got an arm workout and I look forward to booking with them again.

Fun little trip with Captain David. Was only two hour hours and half of that was just gathering bait so probably good idea to do 3 or 4 hours.Super friendly and focused on catching tons of kid fish. Boys hooked up non-stop on trout. If your kids get bored, this is type fishing to go for.

Had an amazing day on the Fifth Day with Capt. Brandy and First Mate Jesse! This was my kids first ocean fishing experience, and it did not disappoint. This boat/crew is excellent with kids. My 2 sons (10, 8) and daughter (10) all caught a ton of fish and learned to do things the right way. Brandy and Jesse took care of everything including baiting hooks and helping them get set, to holding their rods as they reeled in their catch. They also were good with the big kids, setting us up with bigger rigs and baits to go after the larger fish. This boat holds 6 fisherman and is a perfect intimate outing for a family. Could not give a higher recommendation! Thanks for an awesome day on the water!Casey CooperAmarillo, TX

Weather was very questionable and captain left decision up to us to go or not! We decided to give it a go and had one of the best days on the water to date. Limited out on snapper in 30 minutes. Spent rest of the time trolling for Kings! Boated 4 nice size fish and as a bonus we landed a nice Black Fin Tuna! Big shout out to the captain and deckhand of the Barracuda!

I took a charter run on Mary Lou on Friday the 13th this month with Capt. Rusty and mate Shag. I was fishing solo and the charter planner got me on the boat with 5 others. After catching about 100 bait fish in shallow water we headed out just slightly deeper for trolling. The downrigger rod was very productive for mackerel and we caught about a dozen keepers. Then we headed further out probably about 10 miles (Im guessing) for bottom fishing. We caught many snapper, trigger fish, grouper, a undersized cobia and a shark. We kept the snapper that were in season. Watching the guy who hooked the shark fight that fish was a treat for us all. Rusty did a good job of putting us on fish in a quick manner and Shag never stopped moving to keep everyones rod baited and all fish removed. After watching Shag work that trip I understand how much these boat mates deserve their tips. I fish Lake Ontario (NY) for king salmon, steelhead, and lake trout every week in our short season. I enjoyed giving the inshore waters of the gulf a run. It was a great trip and I recommend you give them a chance.

We did a 6 hour trip and rode to different spots for 3 1/2 hours, caught bait fish for 45 mins and then finally fished for some small snappers for the remaining time. Dont waste your money. Crew and caption were friendly but not worth the price.

Great way to go deep sea fishing!Harborwalk books for at least 25 boats of all sizes so youre sure to find a boat and crew to accommodate your needs. Also, if you do not have enough fisherfolk to charter a whole boat, they will put you together with others to make up a charter. Its the easiest and least expensive way to go deep sea fishing.Frances, Juliette, and the rest of the office staff work hard to get you what you want. Ive been on every boat they charter and these captains are among the best Ive ever fished with.Harborwalk offers charters from 4 to 12 hours and can arrange longer trips. If this is your first time and youre just wanting to try it out dont skimp and just book the 4-hour trip. It takes an hour or more to get out where you can fish for a variety of species. If you book the short trip, about the only thing the captain has time to do is troll for mackerel.Book at least 6 hours -- Youll spend a lot more time with a rod in your hand and a fish on the line.

It was exactly 6 hour charter, we catch quite a lot of fish, crossed line only one or two times - there was enough space for all people on board (total 11 passengers, though not all were fishing). You cant keep fish that you catch for yourself - all fish will be cleaned/filet at the end and divided between group. Overall - good experience, now I need 8 hours fishing )

I booked a trip on Wednesday received a call that boat had a/c trouble and had to reschedule. Went out on Friday rough seas. 6 of us on the boat. 5 fish caught. Captain didnt say much. Deckhand Jake did a great job. I would recommend checking surf reports as they dont seem to care to let you know if fishing is rough due to rough seas. We barely made it outside the harbor. Which they had a sign that all shorter than 5hr trips were not offered because fishing close to shore is not good yet they took $900 from the six of us to fish in the same area they said is fished out. If you are booked on the Mary Lou ask for a different boat.

Staff was friendly but fishing experience so not worth the money. Took my wife and 3 kids out only to catch 2 small mackral and 3 other not even sure what they was, told not a good kind to eat. Captain didnt seem very knowledgeable of where good fishing was or didnt care. I have deep sea fished before this by far was the worst experience!! Will not ever book with this charter again. Saw other boots coming in same time as ours with 10 times the amount we had. Very frustrating ruined our whole experience.

Well, check in was at 5:30am. We got there at 5:15am only to wait around 30 minutes to have to call to find out our trip was cancelled the afternoon before due to bad weather. They said they called and left messages. We are still waiting on that message. Maybe we fell through the cracks and it was an honest mistake but a little upsetting to have to wake up at 4am on your vacation and make it all the way out there to find your trip was cancelled.
