Captain Charlie is Great!
Evening tarpon or sunset cruise on April 29, 20264 adults

Charlie was extremely communicative and helpful leading up to the trip. We had a great time tarpon fishing and even though we werent able to land one, my family had a great time and really enjoyed the sunset and the experience overall.

A simple fishing trip saved the day!
Half Day – Fish and Snorkel (AM) on July 8, 20253 adults

The Florida Keys are currently experiencing a large influx of sargassum seaweed 😩....I walked blisters on my feet in Key West....the few pristine beaches that exist on these coral reef islands generally sucked.🤬....But Captain Charly saved the entire week!!! A great catch of of grouper and snapper with a beautiful bonus snorkeling stop at Alligator Reef.....I highly recommend this laid back charter, where the captain becomes a friend by the end of the trip!!!!

Reported catch:
Black Grouper
Yellowtail Snapper

BEST KEYS EXPERIENCE!!!
6 Hour Trip – Combo Upon Request on March 14, 20246 adults

Captain Charlie and Heather were amazing! Their communication leading up to the trip was stellar and made getting prepared for the trip a breeze. We booked this super last minute for my husband and I and our 4 teens went out for a combo fishing/snorkeling trip for 6 hours. Capt. Charlie really knew his spots and his fish!! We caught a ton of fish and had a blast catching them. He was super patient with our kids (way more patient than we are lol) and was just super fun to be around. He took us to a really cool lighthouse and reef to snorkel where we saw a lot of beautiful marine life. We have been in Florida for over a week, went to Universal Studios and this by far was our favorite thing we have done!! We will be back for sure!

Great captain
Evening tarpon or sunset cruise on March 24, 20252 adults2 children

Captain Charlie was awesome!! We had a great time with the sun set trip. We change it up on him last minute because I wanted my kids to catch fish so we decided not to target tarpon. First cast fish on !! We caught around 16 fish in about 2.5 hours and he recommended a place to cook our fish up. I recommend any to take a longer trip. When you have awesome free spirited guide like captain charle you need more time on the water. Such a great time I will becoming back.
