Captain Dan & First Mate Austin had us on fish immediately. Caught a ton of King Mack, Spanish Mack and tuna. Took my young kids with me. I highly recommend them!

I've known Daniel for 5 years. He's an awesome captain....he's true to his word and he is kind. He was one of the first to offer me fish, seafood. Anything he caught and would drop off when I was diagnosed with cancer! He's a great family man and super cool dad! Definitely can catch fish!!!!

If you’re even thinking about booking an offshore fishing trip, stop searching and go with Captain Daniel, seriously. From the moment we left the dock, it was clear we were in the hands of someone who truly knows the water. Offshore fishing isn’t just about dropping a line, it’s about reading conditions, understanding seasonal patterns, tracking bait movement, and knowing exactly where the fish are holding. Captain Daniel has that dialed in. He put us on fish fast and kept us there. We weren’t just randomly trolling , we were strategically moving, adjusting depth, speed, and spread based on real-time conditions. That’s the difference between a slow day and an unforgettable one. His ability to locate productive water, find temperature breaks, and work structure offshore is next-level. The gear was top-notch, everything was well-maintained, and safety was clearly a priority without ever taking away from the fun. Whether you’re an experienced angler or new to offshore fishing, he walks you through everything, bait presentation, fighting technique, and even what’s happening beneath the surface so you actually learn something while you’re out there. And when the bite turns on... it’s chaos in the best way possible. Rods bending, reels screaming, adrenaline pumping, exactly what you hope for when you book a trip like this. Bottom line: Captain Daniel doesn’t just take you fishing, he puts you on fish and gives you the full offshore experience. Professional, knowledgeable, and flat-out gets it done. BadFish Charters is Bada**!

Most fish I have ever caught on a trip in my life! We had so many bonito, blue fish and mackerel, we had to ask Dan to go chase bigger fish. Boy did he deliver on a great day! His 1st mate, Austin, was fantastic. Book it!

Absolutely wonderful. Went out for Tuna but they hadn’t come super close in yet so we took advantage of the bottom fishing. There is no one better in the industry than Daniel Powell at bottom fishing. Absolutely recommend and look forward to rebooking with him. My wife is a disabled veteran and he made her feel very accommodated.

This is the second time my 10 year old daughter has been out with Daniel. He is extremely understanding and beyond patient. He and his mate, Zach, are excellent watermen. To say they will put you on fish is an understatement! If you are looking for an amazing trip, this is the boat you want. Thanks again Daniel and Zach. Y’all rock.
