Great day with Captain Joe
3/4 Day Trip on March 1, 20262 adults

We had a great 3/4 day fishing and sandbar experience with Captain Joe from Off the Charts out of Stock Island. It was an absolutely beautiful day on the water, and Captain Joe made sure we made the most of time. We headed west and hit several spots, ending up catching 9 different species — a mix that kept things exciting. We kept enough lane snapper for a boat-to-table dinner at Hogfish afterward, which was the perfect ending to a fun day. In addition to the fishing, we stopped at a sandbar to relax and soak it all in, a nice place for lunch and a swim.... and to enjoy those great blue and turqouise waters only found down in the Keys. Before we headed back we got a tour of a few channels to take in the birds (is there really a fly heron button aboard boats these days?) and mangroves — a great balance of sites and laid-back island vibes. Joe is friendly, experienced, and clearly knows these waters and the local area inside and out. He consistently checked in to make we were having a great experience and adjusted the plan to fit what we wanted to do. And to top it off, we enjoyed chatting up bands and listening to a few fun playlists — all making a for a great day on the water. Highly recommend Joe and Off the Charts Entertainment if you’re looking for a fun, well-run, and memorable day.

Captain Joe Tripp Rocks!!
Half Day Trip on February 12, 20212 adults

We had a 4 hour fishing tour, Capt Joe was right on time, he was friendly and fun, had a cooler with ice and great music and most importantly, he knew where the fish were! We caught fish the entire trip and got this nice Spanish Mackrel near the end, lots of Snapper varieties as well, it was so much fun, will look him up again next time we go! And he was affordable compared to some others that are very high dollar, we really appreciated this trip.

Fishing with Joe Tripp of Off The Charts on the Hustler.
Full Day Trip – Columbus Day on October 12, 2020

4 of us decided to hit Key West for a one day fishing trip. We chose Joe Tripp, the singing police officer with the Key West PD, because we heard that he was taking out charters. We met Joe at Cow Key Marina at about 8 am and returned at 5 pm with lots of big yellowtail snapper and two tunas. It was a great day. Joe is an excellent guide and charter captain and a very pleasant guy with which to spend the day. We will definitely be fishing with Joe again!

Response from Captain

Thanks, Steve, for choosing Off the Charts! We had a great time and “cook your catch” at the marina was delicious. What a fun group of guys! Y’all have the technique now, so we’re looking forward to hosting you again and adding to the variety! Capt Joe
