Testimonial from Blue Line Boating Customers

Capt. Randy was super knowledgeable and was a huge help to making me feel more confident on the water! He taught me many skills that I didn’t know. The way he taught me made it manageable, easy to understand and execute! I highly recommend you take his course if you are new to baiting!

A girl friend and I took a 4 hour learning course with Josh, and he was FANTASTIC! He's very knowledgeable, didn't "mansplain", and when my friend was starting to get anxious/ scared, he stayed calm and patient and walked her through it with ease! Highly recommended!

We just moved to Florida and needed lessons to learn the basics and the waterways. Capt Randy arranged our lessons with Captain Josh. Josh was extremely patient with us, knowledgeble, friendly, and laid back. We immediately felt very comfortable and confident with him. We are looking forward to more lessons. Thank you both! Highly recommended!

We had a great 4 hour lesson with Captain Josh today. Four of us recently purchased a new boat and we are all pretty inexperienced boaters but Captain Josh put all the fears to rest. Great teacher; covered all the important things in a calm and constructive manner. Left us all feeling more confident and excited to learn more. We will be calling on Captain Josh again soon! Thanks Captain Josh!

What a great experience! Captain Jordan listened to our concerns and addressed them like the pro he is. He offered not only excellent instruction, but additional tips and tricks to make our shortfalls easier to overcome. We can take his suggestions and continue to practice on our own. Our confidence level has gone to the next level. Thanks Captain Jordan!

Capt Randy was an amazing guide with blue line boating as we went out on the water. He was prepared for anything that came our way and exceeded all our expectations. It was a relaxing day out on the water we hit a local restaurant on the water, a sand bar and did some sight seeing to include a pod of dolphins! We took our 1 year old som out and he loved watching the waves go by.
