Williams Party Boats Inc.

85 people each two feet apart. More time getting out tangled than actually fishing. If they weren’t greedy and had a realistic amount of people on the boat where you would have enough room to actually fish than it could be nice.

Honest review from a long time customer...



Customer Service: Not the best in the land although it is a fishing charter so not much to expect. With regards to the front desk, they show favoritism on bookings by providing extending payment due dates to certain customers. The owner always has turnover from front desk help to deck hands which speaks to the stability of staff and overall experience you could expect; it’s always helpful to have consistent staff who eventually grow on to customers. The deck hands are helpful for the most part but do tend to become impatient do to being under staffed.

Pricing: Very reasonable compared to other charters. You’re able to bring your own food/drinks and charter pricing is good regardless if going on a bay or deep sea trip.

Space: Not the greatest. You will be aboard a vessel amongst 100+ people and standing within a 2X2 spot.

Vessel: Not the cleanest. Restrooms continue to have a smell of urine. You can’t expect much from a vessel that brings aboard fish and has squid for bait as it pertains to floors.

Boat Placement: The fish finder is on the back of the boat so therefore you will have more luck in catching more/bigger fish on the back end; everyone else on the sides and front end won’t do as well.

Overall Experience: I’ve fished this vessel since the 90’s. My father and I fished it and I began to fish it with my children. However, I’ve noticed over the past 5 years, there’s been a declined in all the above mentioned to a point in speaking with the owner, I expressed how I will no longer conduct business with him provided with reasoning. It’s not a family nor customer friendly vessel I grew up knowing it to be any longer. It’s a money driven vessel based on numbers which is in part the reason for a decline but as they say….”you pay for what you get.” Moreover, the fishing on the vessel has tremendously declined. Initially I thought maybe the oil spills we’ve experienced had a major effect but it wasn’t until boarding other neighboring vessel/charter that I found this not to be true. I’d give them a D+ today; hope things do change for them…but I’m done!

Best fishing for the price. If you are on a budget these guys are your best friends. I Have been going on their boats for about 3 years now. The deckhands are great helpful and respectful people. I have caught a 42" bull red on one of their trips. I have seen the boat filled with sharks (58 sharks on one trip, with some being thrown back). Everyone should catch a fish. Big trophy fish are rare but they always seem to come back with at least one. But fishing is fishing, I have been on many trips where all I have caught is a few trash catfish. But Williams Party Boats will take care of you and do their best to put you on some good fish.

Talk about rude!! "Captain John" has to be one of the most rude and inconsiderate people I've had the displeasure of meeting. Our family booked a trip 12 hour trip a few weeks ago, we drove 5 hours to get here and the sorry excuse of a captain told me to get off the boat. I'm a few months pregnant and just starting to show. My doctor cleared me to go on the trip, saying that it was early enough in my pregnancy that I shouldn't have any complications while on the trip. This wasn't good enough for them and they made it very clear I wasn't welcome. I will NEVER go with this company again and I recommend that you and your family don't either.
