Nice Guy Charters
Nice Guy Charters offers nothing less than the perfect Florida Keys fishing experience. After a boatful of fish? Maybe a mix of sportfishing and sightseeing? Captain Jeff LaPierre will build your dream day out, whatever that means to you. He prides himself on giving you complete flexibility and never sticks to a set formula for your time on the water.
The Florida Keys need no introduction as an angling location. These legendary waters are home to huge fish at every depth. The flats and backwaters are home to Tarpon and Mangrove Snapper while the reefs hold anything from Snapper and Grouper to Amberjack and Cobia. And that's without ever getting started on the area's awesome Shark fishing.
Where you fish and what you target is entirely up to you. You can head into open water on full day charters, and the reefs are always in reach. If you prefer to stay in the shallows, that's fine too. You can even ditch the rods and grab some masks for a fun mix of snorkeling and angling. Just let Capt. Jeff know! You can even stop at the sandbar for a peaceful moment surrounded by crystal-clear waters. We also love having kids aboard, so bring the family along!
One thing you'll always find onboard is a wide range of quality fishing gear. Try out bottom fishing, jigging, spinning, and more. Fish with live bait or switch to lures. Whatever you do, you'll have the best rods, reels, bait, and tackle available. Fishing licenses are covered by the boat and your fish will be cleaned after the trip – all you need to do is show up and enjoy!

Caroline Craven5.0VerifiedGreat Trip!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 19, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 childrenWe took our 9 year old twins out with Jeff and we told him we wanted to make sure the boys were reeling in a lot. He took us to the first spot and they were catching snapper and grunt with every cast. Then we moved out to deeper water and started catching grouper, yellowtail, parrot fish and even trigger fish! He was so kind and great with our boys. They have not stopped talking about our trip, we are so grateful!!
Brandon Harshman5.0Fishing with Jeff
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 30, 2026Jeff is an amazing fisherman, very knowledgeable, has a nice boat, and knows the best spots to fish. Treated my family with the upmost respect. We also caught this 50lb King fish which was crazy. I would highly recommend Nice Guy Charters. And Jeff is a ginger so that’s a bonus. Thanks Jeff
Greg Brown5.0VerifiedThe sharks were an awesome catch!!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 1, 2026 • 5 adultsWe started out at the reefs fishing for mangrove snapper and yellowtail snapper. We caught a few but it was kinda slow. Capt. Jeff suggested we make a move and go target sharks. What an awesome experience. We caught several Lemon Sharks in the 4-7’ range. It was a blast!!!

3 hour trip - 8:00 AM on May 3, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 childrenCaptain Jeff knew the perfect fishing spots. It was a great spot and we caught our first grouper in just two minutes. He kept his boat clean. Jeff was very pro-active in sharing his knowledge. Highly recommended.

Captain Jeff worked hard for us
Half Day Trip (PM) - 13:30 on December 30, 2025 • 2 adultsUnfortunately we had a weather front moving in on the day of our trip. Captain Jeff worked hard to find a wind-protected spot for us to fish. We caught fish, and the highlight was pulling in a hard-fighting barracuda.
