All trips include ice, bait, and licenses for everyone on board. His boat is also wheelchair accessible and very child-friendly.

We were invited to join our friends this past January 2018 for the Cast & Blast package with Intercoastal Safaris!! We had a super time, bagged our limit of Redhead ducks day 1 and slayed fish each trip out, all the Captains we rode out with were top notch, keeping us baited and even casted my pole for me!! Cadillac fishing trip all the way! Our condo was luxurious and clean. Met great folks and except for the frigid temps, (thanks to Mother Nature ) we have nothing but bragging to do!! We plan to go back again and catch our limit of Snapper next time!!

Consummate Professional from start to finish. With a couples offshore fishing trip, Stephen insured all necessary amenities and helped my wife through sea sickness to catching the biggest snapper of the day.

Took a last min fishing trip with these guys. That listened to what I wanted and made it happen. That alone makes them true pros in my book.

I had recently did a preserve pheasant hunt with Intercoastal Safaris. I mainly duck hunt and never went on a pheasant hunt before. It was great and the hunt went like a well oiled machine! We scratched out a bunch of birds, before an awesome BBQ lunch, and had enough time to go enjoy the beach for a bit afterwards! The guys at Intercoastal Safaris are great and a big part of a bird hunt is who you are around. I really had a great time with them! I’m looking forward to hunting with Intercoastal Safaris again and I highly recommend them!

Everything was great from the start... the Guide was great, the ducks were on fire and Steven was very knowledgeable and accommodating throughout the whole gig!!

Steve and Captain Smokey, are truly a pair of enjoyable guides and made my first duck hunt an incredible memory. They are honest, professional, and most importantly highly knowledgeable. I was very impressed with their guiding and look forward to my next hunt with them.
