Good Times Key West – 19'
Good Times Key West welcomes you to Florida. Join Captain Justin Ferrel in Key West as he takes you to the area’s best inshore and nearshore fishing spots. As you’ll often catch fish within 10 minutes from departure, you’re bound to have more “line time” than with any other charter. The Key West Harbor is full of life that most boats cruise right over every day. Being nearshore also offers you a leeward side of the island to fish, making conditions calm and enjoyable for guests of all ages and experience levels.
You’ll use a restored 19’ Twin Vee catamaran boat, perfect for a small group of up to 4 guests looking to wet a line or just see the sights around Key West. The boat’s powered by a 140 HP Suzuki four stroke engine with a maximum speed of 21 knots and it uses all the quality technology for navigation, including GPS, fishfinder, and radio. You can use the onboard snorkeling equipment as well.
Using light tackle, you and the captain can have great time bottom fishing, trolling, and drift fishing. There will be some lovely species for you to chase, including various types of Snapper, Great Barracuda, and Lemon Shark. If you opt for keeping the fish you catch, the marina’s cafe offers to cook it for you. The children are more than welcome to join the trip, so be free to bring them along and have a wonderful family time in nature.
Captain Justin supplies you with rods, reels, tackle, and lures. He’ll also clean and fillet your catch free of charge and cover you for fishing licenses. For the trip, coolers with ice and bottled waters will be provided, you’ll just need to bring your favorite food and drinks.
Good Times Key West awaits you for a fishing adventure!

Half Day Trip – Fishing (AM)
They made the trip fun!
We were supposed to go on Monday but the boat had mechanical issues so they worked with us and got us out on a different boat. Matt and Paul were our guides and they were a blast! We caught lots of fish and kept enough for dinner. Then they took us after the big boys. We hooked a few shark. Got bit off a few times. My son brought in a 7’ Lemon Shark! Paul put on a snorkel and dove in to get a dropped fishing rod, and found it!! Matt was funny and both were extremely patient and helpful.

Great Captain!!!! The way fishing should be !!!!!!
Justin is the man !!!!!! First impression when you walk up on the dock is a clean well maintained boat...very professional. After introductions, he begins by going over where all the equipment and safety gear is stowed, making sure you are comfortable. Then off to fishing. Unfortunately the weather was not an ideal, rain , wind and a severe chop. He had called about 2 hours prior and informed us of the bad weather and offered us a full refund if we wanted.. but you don't know until you go and we made the call to go and he went. We stayed inshore and tried a variety of methods to rip some lips but unfortunately nothing was biting but definitely not for the lack of Justin trying.... a very professional captain who busted his butt to put us on some fish. Unfortunately the fish were not biting. With that said I can't not wait to come back soon and book with Justin again his professionalism and knowledge is outstanding. Will definitely go out with Justin again.

Great time!
We had a great trip with Captain Matt in The Keys! Matt made sure we caught fish and worked hard to show us a good time and experience! Super great guy and the boat had everything you need. Matt even cleaned the fish we caught and we got them cooked up at Mac's Place for lunch. Excellent experience all the way!

More than a fishing charter!
Justin was a fantastic guide with great communication prior to the session. He was super accommodating as my none fishing girlfriend joined us. He took us to multiple successful fishing spots, catching a variety species including a huge Lemon Shark! He managed to give a great tour of the surrounding area, finding dolphins and even took us to a great spot to watch the sunset before we finished. Would thoroughly recommend, we had a great day!
