What Our Customers Say...

 Fabulous Captain and Sportfishing Facility Captain Nick Stanczyk is an absolutely fabulous guide and captain.  He knew where to fish which put onto a giant fish very quickly.  Then he never took his eyes off the line and kept the boat properly placed for the duration of an 8 hour plus fight.  In the end, we landed a record size swordfish of over 757 pounds.  As experienced captains ourselves we cannot say enough positive things about Capt. Nick, his boat or and his crew.  In addition, Bud n Mary’s knows how to treat fisherman of all levels.  The Galley Girls Cafe located at Bud n Mary’s puts together great early am breakfast in plenty of time to make the boat departures and their lunch boxes are excellent as well.  If you are looking for great day trips or a trip of a lifetime Capt. Nick Stanczyk and Bud n Mary’s is the place to go.

Had a great time and the entire boat caught lots of yellowtail, snapper and other bottom fish. I love the fact that the mates are there to help you in every aspect of the fishing trip. I highly recommend this boat. Also, please note you must bring your own cooler with water, sodas, beer ( no hard liquor allowed), food & snacks as they are not sold or provided on the boat.

Ive never felt like they played favorites until yesterday.  There was a particular customer that is also a regular and he and his family we're treated like royalty and others not so much.  One of the other guest from out of town and I had a long conversation about it.  It was definitely clear to all the other guest as well.  I won't stop going on that boat because as I said I really like captain and love Bud n Mary's.    My son worked in the service industry for years so I believe in tipping but I'll tip according to the way I'm treated as well.
