Finders Keepers Charters 

Our family had an amazing time out on the water with Captain Kevin! From the moment we stepped on the boat, he made us feel welcomed and comfortable. He was extremely knowledgeable, easygoing, and worked hard the entire trip to make sure we had a great experience and stayed on the fish. What really stood out was how patient and great he was with the kids. He took the time to help them, kept them engaged, and made sure they were having fun the entire trip. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and cares about giving families a memorable experience. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and everything was organized and professional. We caught fish, laughed a lot, and made memories that we’ll be talking about for years. If you’re looking for an awesome fishing charter with someone who is professional, personable, and fantastic with families, I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Kevin. We’ll definitely be back!

We went out on March 28th, and from the moment we got set up on the spot, it was non-stop action. Capt. Kevin was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire trip. His communication beforehand was top-notch—he made sure we understood conditions, limitations, and what species we could realistically expect to catch, which we really appreciated. Going into the trip, we were hoping to catch grouper, mangrove snapper, mutton snapper, tripletail, and maybe even try for some snook on the way back in. While we didn’t land the tripletail or snook, we caught just about everything else—and then some. In addition to our target species, we also pulled in speckled seatrout and Spanish mackerel, and even hooked into two sharks (a “lemon pepper stepper,” as Nadiyah calls it, and a blacktip), both around 10 feet. Even though sharks weren’t what we were after, it definitely added to the excitement—especially on light tackle. Capt. Kevin went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable the entire time, even offering his own jacket on a chilly morning. This charter is a must-book. If you’re looking for great action, a knowledgeable captain, and the chance to bring fish home, this is the trip to take.

Today was the best day ever. Caught lots of fish.... Even a small shark. Capt Kevin was extremely personalble knowledgeable. A joy the whole day. Made sure we caught fish then a trip to see manatee before our event ended. Needless to say we six grandmother's will bring our grand babies soon.

Captain Kevin is a great guide. We had a great time on the water! Hope to be back!

Kevin was very attentive and made sure we learned a little and caught fish! We really enjoyed our trip!

Captain Kevin is the best! He was friendly and knowledgeable and got us right in the fish! We had an awesome day!!!

Captin Kevin is a sweetheart! very knowledgeable! We didnt catch but a dew fish but it wasnt for lack of trying. Overall, a fun time!

My grandchildren had a great time. Captain was great with them

This was our second trip with Captain Kevin and once again, it was an incredible experience! He is not only extremely knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and patient—especially with kids. Our son was a bit hesitant to get in the water at first, but Captain Kevin took the time to talk with him and helped him feel comfortable. Before we knew it, he was in the water having an absolute blast! We came home with 4 gallons of delicious scallops and, more importantly, so many wonderful memories. We can’t recommend Captain Kevin enough and can’t wait for our next adventure with him!

Our family of 3 set out with Kevin to catch some fish and have a great day on the water and that is exactly what happened. The guide is what makes these kinds of trips fun, in my opinion, and we hit a home run with Kevin. He was patient with us and took special care to make sure our 11 yr old son had a great time and learned some things along the way. We caught plenty of fish, laughed and told stories, and listened to some good music. We could not have asked for anything more. We look forward to our next adventure with Kevin when we are back down in Crystal River. Thanks so much Kevin and Go Gators!
