We had a terrific time! Captain Phil and Mate Ryan worked extremely hard for us and made sure we had a great time and caught some amazing fish on a really tough day. Most boats reported no catches but we got a beautiful (and delicious) wahoo for my daughter and a monster sailfish for my son. We had action all day so we never had time to get bored. This crew worked so hard to make it a once in a lifetime trip for my daughter and son. Making sure they got perfect photos with their fish and even letting my son help in the release of the sailfish. I have fished all over the world and I have had some good crews but these guys genuinely wanted it to be amazing for my family. No other crew I’ve had has done as much (and done it so nicely) as these guys did. I will only fish with these guys in Key West from now on.
wow I’m so so happy that U had such of an amazing experience and it’s was our pleasure to take U an ur family out fishing and we can’t wait to go do it again soon. take care an safe travels Capt Billy
Booked a half-day trip with Capt. Billy and Joe, and just ten minutes into setting the lines, we were already catching fish. The action didn’t stop until we headed back to shore. We’re already planning our next fishing trip in May. An amazing experience with an outstanding crew!

We took our family out for a 6 hour trip and everything was perfect. The guides were amazing with our two boys and made sure their experience was memorable. We appreciate their attentiveness to our boys and the conversation was great. We caught many tuna and got on a school of mahi! Our kids were amazed. If you are looking for a family friendly fishing trip, I highly recommend this crew. We will be back!!

We had Tom as our captain and Ryan as our first meet and they were amazing! They definitely made sure we caught fish and had a good time! They were very knowledgeable about the area and the fish we caught. They filleted some of the fish when we got off the boat for us to eat raw and to take with us. It was amazing. They recommended we have the fish cooked at the southernmost café and the chef did an amazing job! They cooked our fish in multiple ways. overall amazing experience.
awesome buddy im so glad U all had a great time. and a great meal that’s terrific! hope to see U again soon! take Care capt Tom
I had a great time fishing with my brother. The crew was really awesome and we caught a nice tuna. A shark came up and got it at the very end which is too bad but still had a great trip overall. I would recommend this guide for anyone. just brung sunscreen, and plenty to drink. 
we appreciate it!awesome buddy it was our pleasure fishing with U guys. hope to fish with U again next year! safe travels!!!

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
Fishing in the Key West waters is the Wickers' family tradition. My grandfather, Capt. Willie, established the Linda D. over 78 years ago, and it's been running strong ever since. I followed my grandfather's and father's footsteps, becoming the 4th generation captain in our family. The years of knowledge of seamanship and fishing passed through our family make us the prime choice for fishing in Key West. I've been navigating through these waters since I was a child, meaning I can guide you to the areas where I know the fish love to bite.
