We had an incredible day on this fishing charter! We landed several mahi, a beautiful wahoo, and even a yellowtail snapper. Captain Wayne and first mate Rex were outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard all day to put us on fish. We had our two kids with us, the seas were a little rough for a while but Captain Wayne and Rex made sure they had a great time throughout the trip. This was an unforgettable experience for our whole family. If you're looking for a fun, family-friendly charter with a hardworking crew that knows how to find fish, we highly recommend this trip. We couldn't have asked for a better day on the water!
Captain and boat owner Wayne is a proud US Marine Veteran as am I and we hit it off right from the start. A Captain with more than 40 years of experience fishing in the Florida Keys and that's the kind of intuition you want leading your Charter. He put us on fish right away. The 1st Mate was also a Captain who was knowledgeable, and friendly. We ate fresh fish for 3 days afterward and still have much more in the freezer. Thanks for a great trip, Captain Wayne, we will be back!
Spent 1/2 day with Wayne and Alicia and the only regret we have is not booking it for longer!! Went out to target Mahi which we knew was a stretch only doing 1/2 day so early in the season, Well we came back with a monster cow and had 4 big hits which we didnt manage to land, without a doubt if we had another 2-4 hours at sea we would of come back with a lot more meat! Please do not hesitate if you see this book it up now! Alicia is amazing and what she doesnt know about fishing isnt worth knowing and the Cap is a real old school gentleman and a wizard with a filleting knife! You will not regret booking. Thanks again Both!!
We had a great time with Captain Wayne and his first mate Alicia! We did a full day charter and nabbed 21.5 fish, all while trolling. Why the 0.5? Because right as we were about to bring a blackfin tuna on board a lemon shark bit it in half, one foot from the end of the boat. It was absolutely awesome. We also saw a loggerhead turtle, cool frigate birds, and 2 F18s! Captain Wayne knows his stuff, and did a great job finding fish all day long. The boat was spacious, and had everything you needed to get the job done. Alicia was the standout. She was knowledgeable, funny, helpful, and never stopped working for a minute. I've been on many fishing charters, and absolutely highly recommend the Danica Anne!
we had a strong West wind which made large and chaotic waves and seemed to keep the fish from coming up to the lures We also got seasick in the high seas. We decided to come home early. We stopped a minute to try reef fishing but there was more ship of it when stopped so we just went on in. Frank discounted the trip due to the early ending. We actually enjoyed the trip overall though because we had a conversation with the captain and mate. I think the boat and captain are fine. Only the weather was a problem
