Live Action Sportfishing 2 invites you to team up with Captain Justin And Captain Ryan Carter to explore some of the best fishing found in the Florida Keys! A decorated sport fisherman, Capt. Ryan has received honors such as 'Most Releases,' 'Most Tarpon Releases', and 'Guide Achievement' in the Key West Fishing Tournament. He's got the skill and know-how to get you on the fish and keep you there.

You'll be fishing from his 24' Pathfinder bay boat that runs on a single 250 HP Yamaha engine. This fishing machine will get you to the fishing grounds before you know it, as it can reach a top speed of an impressive 40 knots. Outfitted with all the necessary safety gear and a full array of navigation electronics, she's got everything you need for a productive day out.

Although Tarpon, Permit, and Cobia are his specialty, Captain Ryan has mastered all of the species that inhabit the inshore and backcountry waters of Key West. Live Action Sportfishing 2 encourages anglers of all skill levels and the captain's true passion lies in sharing his love for fishing with both children and adults.

Capt. Ryan will provide you with all the necessary rods, reels, and terminal tackle for the trip, and will also clean and fillet your catch afterward. He'll always have some water on the boat, but you're more than welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks. If you want to get a taste of fishing in paradise, come on over!

Amazing time! 🎣
Half Day Trip – Tarpon on July 15, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

Captain Justin was amazing! We are so happy we booked this charter. It was everything they said it would be and more. We did the 4-hour sunset tarpon trip. My husband is a big fisherman, but my two kids and I have little to no fishing experience. Captain Justin made the whole trip so much fun for all of us. Before going on our tarpon hunt, we each caught a shark, and every catch was more exciting than the last! The best part of the night was watching my husband finally catch a tarpon and check it off his bucket list. Captain Justin never gave up and kept working to make it happen. You could tell he genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible. Thank you, Captain Justin, for making our trip so memorable. This is a night our family will remember for years to come, and we hope to fish with you again the next time we’re in Key West!

Half Day Trip – Tarpon on June 27, 2026 • 2 adults

What an incredible tarpon trip! From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. The captain was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and worked hard all evening to put us on fish. We had multiple shots at big tarpon, and the excitement of watching these fish explode out of the water was unforgettable. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, and the captain made sure we had a great experience regardless of skill level. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and wants his guests to succeed. If you’re looking for an exciting, action-packed tarpon adventure, this is the trip to book. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back for another trip!

Beautiful Day in Key West!
Full Day Trip on May 6, 2026 • 2 adults

Justin was a pleasant surprise for a young charter captain. Contacted me the night before to plan the charter for the next day. Started out very early and we were in the Tarpon before most boats were in the water! Hooked up on a few and landed a nice once thx to Justin! Headed out to check a few spots for permit and he put us on a school. we landed two nice ones. Fishing was slow at times but Justin adjusted to target different species when it was needed. Recommend this charter and this Captain!

Great trip!
Half Day Trip on May 5, 2026 • 2 adults

We had an amazing time out on the water with Captain Justin! He was super knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole experience fun from start to finish. He knew exactly where to go and kept us on the fish the entire trip. Whether you’re experienced or a first-timer, he makes you feel comfortable and confident. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and everything ran smoothly. We caught some great fish and made even better memories. Highly recommend booking with Captain Justin—you won’t regret it!

Ein einmaliges Erlebnis
Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on July 23, 2026 • 3 adults

Justin hat uns pünktlich am vereinbarten Ort getroffen und wir sind gleich mit seinem Boot weit raus gefahren. Er kennt wirklich viele Spots wo man tolle Fische fangen kann. Sogar Hai fischen hat er uns angeboten. für uns als Europäer (Österreich) ein wirklich unglaubliches Erlebnis! Wir planen schon unseren nächsten Urlaub und werden Justin sicher wieder buchen. Danke Justin, dass wir so einen tollen Nachmittag erleben durften!

Angler's Choice
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
Growing up on the Rappahannock River in Virginia, Captain Carter spent his free time wading for Bass and Bluegill. He spent most of his summers in Boca Raton, Florida where he learned from a young age how to fish the salt. At age 10, Ryan was regularly catching 100+ size Tarpon and quickly became obsessed. 10 years later, at age 20, he moved to Key West and began guiding his clients to division winning tournaments and receiving personal honors for most Tarpon releases in 2017.
