    Action packed fishing experience

    Full Day Trip – Fall on September 2, 2026 • 2 adults

    All around was a fantastic experience!! The captain and mate were very helpful, knowledgeable, and kind!! The captain worked to put us on the fish and gave us a smooth ride and even encouraged us when it was time to reel in the bigger fish! The first mate was exceptional and work his but off handing us the poles, getting us set up to reel, and making sure all the lines were bated and in the water!! The boat was wonderful and it was also nice knowing we had a cool place to go and sit to get out of the heat, as well as having bathroom facilities that were clean and accessible!!! We caught tons of fish and had the best time ever!!! The captain cleaned our fish and recommended a local restaurant that would cook our catch so we could enjoy it fresh!!! Will definitely be back for round 2 with Corsair II

    Great Wahoo Fishing Trip with Corsair 2

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) on August 19, 2026 • 3 adults

    We had an outstanding day on the water aboard Corsair 2 out of Key West! We were fortunate to catch some great Wahoo, and the entire trip was an enjoyable experience from start to finish. Captain Jeff and first mate Stan were both extremely knowledgeable about the local waters and the Key West area. They knew exactly where to go and were happy to share information about local attractions and the area, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The boat, the fishing, and the crew all made for a fantastic day. If you’re looking for a great fishing experience in Key West, I highly recommend booking a trip on Corsair 2 with Captain Jeff and Stan. We had a memorable time and would definitely do it again!

    Great Trip with a Great Crew

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) on May 19, 2026 • 2 adults

    I went fishing with Captain Russ, Jeff and Ryan and have nothing but good things to say. The location is easy to find and is in a nice area. Once at the marina, the crew was early, we were given a safety brief and spoke about rules for the boat and asked what our expectations were. The cabin was air conditioned and very comfortable to sit in. After we got the housekeeping out of the way, we shoved off and took a forty five minute ride to the fishing grounds. The boat was extremely comfortable and we shot the breeze with Ryan and Jeff who were easygoing, fun and personable guys. The Captain invited us up to the bridge for the ride, but we were comfortable in the cabin and did not take advantage. Once we got fishing, we had a fish on in the first ten minutes and landed a mahi. Throughout the day, we had a steady pick of mahi. Captain Russ was on the fish all day. We caught some shorts, lost some fish and had a big fish on (possible wahoo) that was lost by yours truly. At no point were we scolded or lectured, the crew just went back to catching fish. The end result was us keeping 9 mahi, which were eaten over the next three days by my friends. The Captain and crew made three great suggestions for cook your catch restaurants, but Kaya Island Eats was by far our favorite. I couldn't think of anything that the captain and crew could have done to make the trip better.

    2 sailfish, 2 mahi = one epic trip!

    3/4 Day Trip – Fall (AM) on October 25, 2026 • 2 adults

    Zero fishing experience for our mother/daughter birthday trip and Stan and Russ navigated the waters and found all of the fish! Baited our hooks and cleaned our catch so we could take it to the local Hogfish Grill and have the chef prepare it. We had an awesome day on the water and will for sure book another trip with them the next time we are in Key West. Thank you. Cynthia and Olivia.

    A Great Day Out

    Half Day Trip on June 29, 2026 • 3 adults

    Right from the start Captain Jeff and deckhand Stan worked to make our trip a good experience. Captain Jeff worked to find good areas and we had decent success, while Stan spent a lot of time talking fishing techniques with our 14 year old grandson. It was nice to be on a bigger boat with an air conditioned cabin and a marine head than one of the newer, smaller boats. Were we to charter again in Key West we would definitely use them.

    FINtastic morning of tight lines!

    Half Day Trip on March 14, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Jeff and First Mate Craig were top notch! We booked only four hours in the morning, but we caught five gorgeous barracuda, a tiny bonito, a slippery mackerel, and the most delicious wahoo! I took my high school aged daughters and we had a blast! The waters were calms, the sky was partly cloudy, and both Jeff and Craig worked their butts off to keep us on the fish. I'd love to return during dorado (mahi-mahi season). Without hesitation, I'd go back out on the Corsair with Jeff and Craig. Some have noted the age of the boat. So what?! It's a huge boat with an airconditioned cabin and bathroom. Its the CREW that makes the difference and we LOVED the time we spent with Jeff and Craig. Capt Jeff filleted up our wahoo at the dock and we stuffed ourselves at a nearby "hook & cook" restaurant that prepared our fillets in several different ways. I am already planning a trip back to Key West next winter. I hope the Corsair, Jeff, and Craig are available again. Thanks!!!

    A great full day of fishing!

    Full Day Trip on July 22, 2026 • 4 adults

    My son just graduated from hgh school and he wanted to go fishing off the coast of Key West. We caught several mahi and barracuda. Captain Russ and first mate Stan take safety seriously being careful the fish do not cause harm to you as they thrash around the boat. The air conditioned room was large with very comfortable plush chairs and sopha. When we come back to Key West, we are looking this crew up again!
