    Daily 5-hour fishing 11am on November 10, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had an absolutely fantastic time on our group fishing charter! Captain Corey and First Mate Marshall were amazing from start to finish. They went above and beyond, even changing locations multiple times to give us the best opportunities to catch more fish. Since this was my first time fishing offshore, I especially appreciated their patience, encouragement, and willingness to help. They made the experience fun, comfortable, and memorable for everyone in our group. We couldn’t have asked for a better crew or a better day on the water. We had such a great time that we’re already looking forward to making this an annual tradition! Highly recommend Captain Corey and Marshall!

    5 Hour Fishing on November 8, 2026 • 2 adults

    The boat ride alome is worth the money. The fishing experience was more than what we expected. We relocated to multiple spots. After the 5 hours Tyler fileted our fish, which were grunt, lane snapper and yellow tail. We took the fish to dantes, which is next to the marina and they grilled, fried and blackened the fish. This was kid friendly and will definitely be back.

    Such a great experience

    Daily 5-hour fishing 11am on February 18, 2026 • 8 adults • 2 children

    Captain Cory and the crew were absolutely amazing. My youngest was getting frustrated that he hadn't caught anything yet and Cory came over personally and spent the time to help him casting and showing him some hints he had. Within 5 minutes my son caught his first fish and was super excited. We had a group of 8 and all of us said it was such a blast and created a great family memory. Being from New England it was nice to have a crew that could relate to us and know the area we are from. We had such a blast and would highly recommend Captain Cory and the Cora Beth to anyone.

    4 Hour Trip – Sunset Bottom Fishing on June 12, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had so much fun on this trip. The first couple of spots nothing was biting but the Capt. kept us moving until we found a spot that was a hit! We caught 3 kinds of snapper. Everyone was so helpful and my kids and I had a blast. The crew processed the fish right off of the boat, which took only minutes, then they recommended a place a few hundred ft. away to cook it up! delicious!

    Amazing Father’s Day trip!

    Daily 5-hour fishing 11am on June 21, 2026 • 4 adults

    The crew were amazing and extremely helpful. The crew were incredibly knowledgeable about all the fish and the captain did an incredible job of ensuring we found/caught fish. I would highly recommend this to anyone. I am not a big fishing person but also had an amazing experience and would do this again when visiting Key West in the future. I cannot recommend enough!!!!

    GREAT Family Friendly experience!

    Daily 5-hour fishing 11am on April 29, 2026 • 7 adults • 2 children

    The Captain and Marshall were great. Our family loves fo fish (we have 3 boys ages 9,10 & 14) but fishing can be rough with the younger two always having to re rig their poles. It’s usually stressful but the deck hand made it great! It was actually really enjoyable! We caught tons of Yellow Tail Snappers, Lane Snappers, Grunts, strawberry groupers, saw lemon sharks, barracudas, dolphins, and sea turtles. We are contemplating booking again during out trip it was that great!

    I would highly recommend cora beth to go fishing! The price was hard to beat. He moved the boat 3-4 times fo make sure everyone caught fish. He even helped the younger ones to get a fish on and let them reel it in. His crew were super helpful and kept everyones spirits up with the heat

    Daily 5-hour fishing 11am on May 15, 2026 • 1 adult

    I was out today on the Cora Beth II with Captain Cory and Marshall. We all limited out, and caught more fish than I ever dreamed!!! I live on a lake in Mn, this was special. Cap't knew exactly where to go, and moved us once the bite slowed even a bit. Put us right back on another school, time after time, all day. Book this boat and it's crew, or you'll be wishin' you had! I'll be back with friends ;) thanks a million guys!!! Super Fantastic...
