Armando was not only a wonderful captain, but a wonderful tour guide while fishing in the Everglades. My husband and I were thoroughly impressed with his vast knowledge of the different species/terrene in the area. He made the trip fun while ensuring we were catching fish. Snook, speckled trout, red fish, goliath grouper, and mangrove snapper are a few of the 12 different species we caught. Great experience and we look forward to fishing with Armando again.

Armando is a top notch guide. He’s extremely knowledgeable and had us catching fish all day. We felt extremely welcomed the minute we walked up to the dock. His boat is comfortable, equipment is great and he’s an excellent coach. I’m looking forward to booking more trips with A2 Charters.

I grew up fishing deep water in the keys. I have never fished inshore. I booked a trip with my son with A squared charters and had the best fishing experience possible. The boat was almost brand new and very comfortable. We were flying through the water to the fishing spots. This wasnt a fishing trip it was a catching trip. From the moments our lines hit the water, we were catching fish. Snook, red fish, trout and we even jumped a larger tarpon. The 8 hour trip went by quickly and the action never stopped. We even got to take hoe two redfish and eat them for dinner that night. My 16 year old son could not stop smiling. He actually spend 8 hours without his phone or wifi and enjoyed it. We are planning another trip this summer for sure.
