Captain Jeff is by far the best captain I’ve come across here in the keys. When I was a kid, he used to mate on the “Skipper” (party boat on Martha’s Vineyard). I’d fish on the boat a couple times a summer and would have the best time. When I saw his name down here I immediately booked a trip. It was an awesome day on the water and Capt Jeff even extended our trip to keep trying for sharks and to pull a few crab traps. We loaded the boat with lane snapper, mutton snapper, mangrove snapper, yellowtail, 2 sharks, blue runners, and even a puffer fish! Also had some shots at barracuda, mackerel, and an unknown massive shark that tail whipped our line. Had more fish than we could eat and ended up giving the rest to him. It was non stop action all day. He taught us so much about the ecosystem down here in the keys and showed us his lobstering spots as well as his crab traps. Knows the waters super well and would definitely book again in a heart beat. Nicest guy you’ll get down here, he only cares about you having a good time. If you can, book direct with him. Highly recommend!

A cloudy and a bit wet morning did not stop us from having a great outing. Brought my two sons, 13 and 11. We pulled crab traps, got chased by dolphins and fished 3 separate sites, One is a Captain LaPierre secret, of which I am sworn to secrecy. Plenty of fish were caught.

What I particularly liked about the charter was we fished our own rod. Captain LaPierre would get the boat in the right position, gear us up and tell us the best spots to cast, but from then on it was our rod and our catch (no “captain hooks it you reel it in” situation.). If we lost our bait it was replaced within seconds.

Once on shore, Captain LaPierre filleted our bounty and we brought it to a local restaurant who made blackened fish tacos for a great meal.

Highly recommended.

Loved the trip! Jeff was really helpful keeping all our rods baited. He made it a point to try to give us the opportunity to catch bigger fish, along with the smaller ones. He was patient with the two 10 year old girls and gave easy instruction on how to use the equipment. We were able to take our catch to a local restaurant where they cooked it for us and we had no shortage of delicious food! I would definitely recommend this charter!

We booked a four-hour fishing trip with Jeff for our family of 6.  He was incredible!!  He took the time to teach our kids and all of us about what he was doing, where we would be fishing and what type of fish we were catching.  We caught a ton of fish and he was so helpful and awesome to be with.  Thanks Jeff, we will definitely be booking with you again.  Five stars, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We had a great morning out! The boat and equipment were in good shape. captain was great, very knowledgable, knew his stuff and put us on the fish quickly! He is a great fella, a really nice guy!! We caught a few barracuda, 2 lemon sharks and a nurse shark that were all good size. And we caught a ton mangrove snapper that we had fixed up for us at a local restaurant that evening for dinner! Highly recommend Nice Guy Charters!
