Captain Mike had us on the fish, and we got a lot of bites, and several fish to show for it. Get your butt in the front chairs, and be ready to grab the rod quick!  We had a group of (5), and the Jolly Roger II was the perfect vessel for our group. It has (5) fighting chairs, and a covered, inner deck for shade during the day. The water was murky, but the captain still got us on the fish! Needless to say, this will be our preferred charter for future trips, and we’ll look forward to some more great catches!

Thank you to Captain Mike & 1st Mate Joelle!

Capt Joe and First Mate Joel are top notch fishermen and great people as well.  We had a really good time and would love to do it again.  The bite was a little slow (to be expected in September) but we still caught some good fish and had so.much fun doing it.  Attitudes make any experience.  Joe and Joel take pride in what they do and it shows.  Answered all the questions we had, constantly cleaning the boat and equipment, assisting us in any way that we asked.  I really cannot say enough good things about them. I am currently trying to think of reasons to make another trip to the keys and go fishing with the Jolly Roger II.

Had a amazing 3/4 day on the water with Captain Joe and Joel…truly the best team in Key West!!  Within one hour we (mostly she) landed our first of three Mahi and we finished with a variety of 9 fish on a day when most boats came back empty.  Captain Joe takes pride in his craft & simply knows how to steer the Jolly Roger to the fish!  Can work a mean spinning rod from the upper deck too!  Joel…honestly not enough space allowed to put all my compliments for that guy.  Sincerely thank you for making the day a personal experience that we will not soon forget!  The recommendation of Hogfish Bar & Grill for our fresh catch was also a hit! 

When booking a charter in Key West there should be no debate…this is the one!!  Can’t wait to come back!!

Its called fishing not catching.. even though we didn’t get double digit numbers and monsters on the line. Joe and Joel were awesome. First they over explain the boat and the fishing protocol, but made my wife and party comfortable knowing what to expect. Most boats I’ve fished on tell you to sit on the boat and don’t fall overboard. The first mate joel was awesome and explained knots, tackle, fishing techniques, and even local history about the island.. the captin Joe was personable but to the point and serious about fishing, someone you can trust is hunting the waters for a catch. Despite the lack of fish biting this is a great trip the four of us enjoyed this experience.. ended up with 4 and man where they good..

I can’t say enough about our trip aboard the Jolly Roger 2. We had a full day of fishing that landed us a Sailfish and a **hidden content** pound Blue Marlin!  On top of that we caught our share of Mahi and a small tuna. We had a great time from start to finish. Captain Joe and his First Mate Joel put us on the fish and gave us great coaching before and during the fights so we could have success. The boat was comfortable. The gear was in great shape. The First Mate kept the gear baited and in the water. The last thing I will say is the Jolly Roger 2 was on the fish even when the rest of the fleet was struggling. I would highly recommend the Jolly Roger and Captain Joe to anyone looking for a great day out on the water. I know everyday won’t bring a Marlin and a Sailfish, but if they are out there and active the Jolly Roger will get you in the right place to have a shot.
