We woke up to 4-9 foot seas and a chance of rain.  The Captain called me that morning and he assured me that his boat could handle the elements. (It really did remarkably well).  We decided to go out.  We were able to be out for 1/2 day.  The Captain and his first mate (his son) were incredibly nice.  Once we left the dock the game was on.  They were focused on putting us on fish.  The nice thing is the Gulf Stream is @11 miles out.  In spite of the wave we were out there pretty quickly and they looked for signs of fish.  It wasn’t 15 minutes and he had us in a school of Mahi and we had 3 in the boat.  We quickly moved to the next site and caught a couple of more.  In total we caught 11 really nice Mahi and one shark before the weather closed in on us.  I could hear on the radio other captains struggling to get one here and one there.  Captain Doc and is son where putting 2-3 in the boat at a time.  I would highly recommend them and I will use them again the next time we come down.

We had a ton of fun! Down in The Keys celebrating our 25th anniversary. Hadn’t been out off shore in YEARS! Doc immediately got to work hitting their preferred spots. They insisted things were insanely slow for them. We understand fishing can be hit & miss, but within a short while, we ended up on good stretch. Caught 15 that we could keep. Nice mix of Black Fin Tuna, Mahi, Lane Snapper & a Jack. We all worked pretty well together. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back again! We had a TON of fun!!!

We had THE BEST time with Captain Doc and First Mate Georgie! They made sure that we caught plenty of fish for dinner - lots of snappers and yellow tails! Super nice guys, extremely knowledgeable, and accommodating. When two people in our party got seasick they took us back to shore with no hesitation, and went out of their way to let them know it happens to even experienced boaters. I would recommend them to anyone with any level of experience! We will definitely use them again when we come back!

Our family had an awesome day with Doc and George. Especially with our two young boys.They put us on fish right away. We caught multiple yellow tail, red grouper, black fin tuna, king fish, and a blacktip shark. Lost a Goliath grouper close to the boat estimated at 200lb. This is all in one trip. Doc and George taught us the proper way to set hooks and fight the fish. These guys worked hard to make sure the boat was in position and lines were in the water for action.

This was, by far one of the greatest fishing charters we’ve ever experienced. Not only was Captain George extremely personable but his knowledge and experience fishing these waters was immense. It was none stop action from the moment first line was dropped. Both he and his first mate Georgie made sure both my boys experienced the very best fishing in the waters of Islamorada. They were genuinely both very excited as my kids pulled up fish after fish, as well as equally disappointed when some of those same fish got gobbled up by sharks as they got closer to the surface….something we thought was amazing to see. Throughout the trip their passion for fishing, as well as teaching, and sharing their knowledge was on display. I will definitely, be returning to Islamorada, and will most definitely be making Kekoa charters a must do on our list and so should you!
