    Great Day of Fishing

    3/4 Day Trip on July 10, 2026 • 5 adults

    We set out for the Gulf of America. We had Barracuda, snapper and Grouper in mind. The waves were 2-2.5ft swells. We were not able to fish the bottom so we had the best time trolling and bringing in Barracuda’s. The Captain was super at navigating and keeping the boat under control. We reeled in 8 barracuda fish. The largest was 48” and about 35lbs. The first mate was top notch. One of the best days out there fishing

    Four happy customers eating Wahoo

    Half Day Trip - 12:00 PM on June 9, 2026 • 4 adults

    Had party of four. Captain was busy as this was a trolling trip out, but enjoyed talking with him after we finished. First mate was very entertaining, many stories and fishing facts. Had two chairs for reeling in and all four of us sat multiple times in the chairs… resulting in couple Mahi Mahi and a Wahoo that were large enough to bring home (caught and released bunch other). Anyways, had great time — will be a great memory that we will talk about for life.

    Best trip!

    Half Day Trip on June 6, 2026 • 5 adults

    Can't say enough good things about our charter. We were on the bite almost as soon as we put lines in the water and the action almost never stopped! The crew was great, made everything simple and kept us entertained. We'd highly recommend booking with them and would love to again when we go back to Key West!

    Perfect Guys Trip

    Half Day Trip - 12:00 PM on June 1, 2026 • 4 adults

    Went with 3 work buddies and we each caught a Mahi Mahi. After the charter, the crew fileted the fish and we took the meat to a nearby restaurant. It was DELICIOUS. Crew was very cool, friendly, and funny.

    Great memories with my son

    3/4 Day Trip on October 12, 2026 • 2 adults

    The captain and firat mate knew what they were doing. we had a great day and made long lasting memories. I would suggest for future trips that the first mate lay off aomenof the sexual inuendos and comments. He certainly knew his work and job, juat a little crass at times. learn the audience first.

    50th birthday with the boys in Key West. Like other deep sea fishing trips we had, we were excited and tried to have small conversations with the fishing crew but Captain seemed annoyed, very short and dry humor, as if we’re an interruption to his busy schedule despite the 1400+ cost (plus $$$ tip) of an 8 hour fishing trip… Caught some mahi, small tuna and barracuda but nothing extra ordinary! We asked to go bottom fishing and the crew just ignored us… We hope they’ll consider better customer service next time because ours didn’t go so well…good luck! good thing we didn’t come back empty handed at least…
  • Multiple fresh catches, including two mahi-mahi and a tuna, arranged on a cooler lid beside the fishing boat.
