Absolutely the Best Summer Camp! Captain Andy and his entire team are phenomenal. He connects so well with the kids—always encouraging, teaching respect, and emphasizing good sportsmanship. Our boys look forward to this camp every summer, and it never disappoints. There’s truly no better way for kids to spend their summer days in the Florida heat than out on the water, learning and having fun. Can’t recommend it enough!

Your boys played a huge role in landing the GIANT Tarpon caught during SUMMER CAMP 2024 and this summer, some amazing redfish despite your family’s super busy schedule!👏👏 They are an absolute pleasure to have. Thanks so much for your trust in FIRST MATE ACADEMY, your support, and continued participation!⚓️🎣🙌
