If you are looking for a great trip offshore, Koko Charters is bound to have something for you. Captain Chris Gowens and first mate Cory Robinson have been fishing their whole life, and knows where to take you to make sure you hook in your dream fish. Late model express to get you there fast, a 41’ Luhrs tower boat. This fabulous boat can have 6 anglers fish at once without crossing lines. She is powered by twin 650 HP Cummins engines, to make sure you waste no time in transit. Capt. Chris wants to get your lines wet as soon as possible, typically lines are in the water 30 min from the dock unlike an hour or more with the other boats. He has also gone above and beyond with the safety equipment onboard. He wants you to enjoy your day without worrying about yourself, your friends, or your family.

You’ll cruise to the best fishing spots in style – this boat is equipped with a new Fusion stereo with Bluetooth to listen to your music of choice. You will want to make sure you’ve got something epic playing while you reel in your trophy catch! Ladies, the most important thing that is requested, is a vacuflush clean restroom!

This high standard is continued with the equipment that you will use. You’ll be using Accurate and Shimano Talica reels. Everything is top of the line and ready for you to have an incredible day on the water. All rods, reels, and lures are included in the price.

You will target a huge range of species, such as Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Sailfish, White and Blue Marlin, Barracuda, Wahoo, and many more. Head up to 30 miles offshore to reel in some big beauties. You will troll predominantly. This boat was designed for trolling, so you can fish easily knowing this is the perfect boat for this technique of fishing.

Capt. Chris is happy to fillet your catch at the end of your trip – the hardest decision you need to make is how to cook it! All you need to do is pack your snacks, water, and polarized sunglasses, and meet Capt. Chris and first mate Cory.

8 Hour Trip

Phenomenal 2 consecutive full days with this exceptional Captain and Mate!

VERIFIED

The following is a fair and accurate assessment of this sport fishing charter out of Key West Florida. Captain Chris and Corey were the PERFECT team. The Skipper kept us on the fish for the full 8 hours each day and Corey worked tirelessly keeping the lines baited and set the entire time. My wife Sharon and I have fished all over the world and cannot think of a better outfit than Koko Charters. We landed a total of 2 Wahoo, 5 Skipjack, 2 Blackfin, 22 Mahi and 2 Barracuda. Chris is as safety conscious as he is diligent about looking for the fish and Corey did an astounding job filleting the catch. To top all of this off they recommened two local restaurants (Hurricane Hole and Hogfish Grill) where we had some of our catch cooked to perfection! 😋 Lastly, I’d just like to say, don’t be that guy who got cancelled the day before because of weather and decided to wait at the dock to stare down the Skipper as we came back in after the first day. Chris has no more clairvoyance at predicting the weather or seas than you do. The ocean is unforgiving and even less so when you’re stupid. p.s. I tried to swipe one of Corey’s “Power Drinks” the first day and he was sweet enough to bring me one the next day out. Now THAT’S some quality service! 👍🏼

Great Day

VERIFIED

We had a great day six hour charter with Captain Chris and Cory. Weather was warm and sunny but pretty bumpy ride due to high season wind that Captain Chris knew how to drive a boat to keep us comfortable and dry and we and Cory worked his tail off All day and we caught mahi-mahi and we have dinner for the next couple of nights. Thank you, Captain Chris and Cory. We certainly would recommend Coco charters anyone coming to the keys Key West anytime soon. I would do this charter again the next time I’m in Key West.

4 Hour Trip (AM)

Great day on the water, more fish than we needed

VERIFIED

We took Koko Charters out today for a special birthday fishing trip. It was myself and 3 teenagers with Chris and Cory. The trip exceeded expectations in every way. Aside from having beautiful weather and mild surf, the team at Koko made things just perfect for us. We caught live bait and the fish bit consistently. We caught more mackerel than we could count, we had so many we started throwing them back bc it was more than we would eat or save. We also caught mutton snapper, yellowjack and a barracuda. Everyone pulled in a few big ones and Cory kept bait on the hooks. He was also super responsive to any all of our requests and the teenagers stayed engaged and having fun while Chris captained the boat. When we got back to the dock they prepped the fish for us and recommended a great local pub where we took our catch for lunch. Very delicious!!! When we come back down to the Keys we will book with Koko Charters again. If you’re considering a charter, do yourself a favor and book with these guys. You’ll be glad you did.

Awesome trip with a couple of awesome guys!!

VERIFIED

Went out for a six hour trip with Chris and Cody they worked there tails off to put us in the fish. While fishing was slow we managed to catch several mahi, a wahoo, and a barracuda. Super nice set up with great equipment. Cody continually cleaned the boat throughout the trip to ensure there was clean clear areas for us to land fish. Great trip, I highly recommend this trip!!
