"This is one of those rare occasions that thank you is just not enough. I had the best time I have had for a long time. Yuri & Greg, you guys are the greatest. We caught fish on every spot. The accommodations were more than ample. The fishing area worked very well for 6 people. And most of all we have fun. I think everyone had there claim to fame on this trip and everyone supported who ever was hooked up and needed help.

I thought the electric reel fishing in very deep water was unique and very productive and it provided a break for the tired anglers.

I will need to see if I can work in a springtime trip to see what happens then.

Again, thank you all for this, it was greatly appreciated. Thank you.

PS pictures will be sent soon."

"Well we are back at work after a trip of a life time. Yuri proved one more time that he can find not only fish but quality fish. The weather was perfect and we caught the largest grouper I have ever seen. It was a warsaw grouper around 70 lbs. Also we caught at least 4 mutton snapper that were above the 25lb mark. We caught 60lb amberjack (3) and limits on grouper and snapper. I can't say enough good things about Yuri. He handles the boat better than anyone I have ever seen handle a boat and I have been a boat captain for some time. He know how to fish and will gladly teach anyone anything they need to be successful. This was our second trip and we are already planning the next trip. Thanks Yuri for a truly fantastic trip."

The following are from the Florida Sportsman Fishing Forum:

"...a HUGE thanks goes out to Capt. Yuri, whose unparalleled knowledge, expertise and professionalism for fishing this region can be described only as the best-of-the-best! Capt. Yuri worked relentlessly to make the expedition truly an experience of a lifetime, one that we will surely repeat. Thanks again Yuri!!!" 
 

"This turned out to be a killer trip. I want to thank Capt. Yuri for such a good time. No doubt he is a first class gentleman. He knows how to put you on the fish. It is worth the wait to get booked on his boat."

"I fished with yuri many times- always caught fish..."

"Just got back from another trip in the Tortugas with Capt. Yuri on his new boat. This is my second trip with Yuri and I have to say there is no one better. I have fished Yankee Capts and Fishfinder many of times and have had great sucess, but I always have much more fun on a six man trip."

"This is one of the best chartered fishing trips that I have experienced. Capt. Yuri is the man. Yuri made sure to live up to our expectation. He must have moved over 25 different times over the course of the trip to make sure that we caught some nice Muttons. By far, these are some of the biggest muttons that I have caught in my lifetime. The crew was great, the food was awesome, the whiskey was flowing, and the beers were frigid. We must set it up for next year."

"All in all we definetly hit them up 36 mutton snapper between the five of us with and average size of about 12 pounds, on up to 19 lbs. a bunch of yellow eye snapper, a bunch of big fat flag yellowtail, a couple scamp grouper, a 50 lb kingfish, n a bunch of rif raff. definetly one of my better trips yet!"

"All I say after this trip is WOW!!!!! See ya in march Yuri."

"The Cat was the Cat's Azz on the anchor. Very little pitch. Made for the most comfortable anchor experience I have ever had. The platform is impressive in it's size and stability."

"Once again thanks Yuri for putting us on some nice fish in such lousy conditions and we will be back next year..."

"...1 hell of a great time, with good friends and a good Capt. Thanks much to Capt Yuri!"

"Headed out with Capt.Yuri this past Thursday-Sunday, and what a great time we had.Capt.Yuri is top notch, he had us on fish all the time, and worked very hard to keep it that way."

"Yeah we whacked em pretty good. Yuri is the MAN!" 

"All in all, it was a great 2 days of fishing. Yuri cooked up some kickass Grouper with Mango Sauce and worked his butt off for us keeping us on the fish. I'll be looking to go again this fall."

"Yuri is an awsome captain, and I highly recommend him. I now have a freezer full of fish, and lots of smoked King steaks. We'll all be eating good for a while."

"...thanks to Capt.Yuri we had a Great Trip....caught some nice mutton in the Marquesas and nice yellowtail till 1:30 in the morning, they were fun on 10 pd. test line.  Then went to the Dry Tortugas the next day and caught alot of red grouper 12 -16 lbs. a few mango's, one black grouper,  just good steady fishing.  If you ever have a chance I highly recommend using Capt. Yuri."

"...capt Yuri was super, fish count was 100 tails, some very large 100 mangos with half running 3 to 6 or 7 pounds between 30 or 35 grouper most just legal and about 15 over 12 pounds with the biggest about 20 that I caught when it ate a smaller one I was reeling in, two grouper on one hook 1 dolphin 3 kings and 2 muttons a 12 and a 14 that I hooked and landed on a yellowtail jig. We are already talkin about dates for next year."
