Eric WilliamsRepeat angler•
Mississippi, US•Member since 20252 trips5.0VerifiedA simple fishing trip saved the day!
Half Day – Fish and Snorkel (AM) on July 8, 2025 • 3 adultsThe 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!!!!
Adam Scott•Missouri, USMember since 20245.0VerifiedBEST KEYS EXPERIENCE!!!
6 Hour Trip – Combo Upon Request on March 14, 2024 • 6 adultsCaptain 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!

Half Day Trip (PM) on November 30, 2024 • 3 adultsGood boat. Great captain. Charlie was super easy to communicate with. Chill and not watching the clock, only the sunset. We had a great time. Super knowledgeable. Knew how to approach every scenario. Hooked easy dinner with over 40 yellow tail snappers 15 keepers. Blue runners hit the live well and snagged us some more action trolling the ledge. Hit a good 30lbs King after a few bites and Cap gaffed it first shot bringing it on board for a great ending to an already great trip. Will 100% book again.
Erika Nelson•Michigan, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedAn awesome trip
Half Day – Fish and Snorkel (AM) on April 5, 2025 • 4 adultsCaptain Charlie was great! He was kind, knowledgeable, and patient. We had someone get sea sick and captain charlie was very accommodating. We definitely won’t go fishing with anyone else! He knows the ocean so well - we were very impressed and felt safe and comfortable the whole time.
Tracy BrackMember since 20235.0Captain Charlie is the best!
6 Hour Trip – Combo Upon Request on May 17, 2023If you’re looking for the best charter in the keys, you found him. Captain Charlie nose, every nook and cranny of the keys waters and every trip is a blast! Not only is he an outstanding fisherman and captain, but he’s just a great person with a gold heart. I’ve gone out with Charlie probably over ten times in the past four years and it would never be the same trip with any other charter. The boat is fast and we zoomed to both ends of the keys in one day! Super fun! We went snorkeling swimming spear fishing sandbar. You name it, Charlie’s the captain to have Ty e most fun and best experience.
Bonnie Ciesluk•Massachusetts, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedLaid back fun!
6 Hour Trip – Combo Upon Request on April 18, 2025 • 3 adultsCaptain Charlie is the best! Fantastic communication and attention to detail while being super chill and laid back. He's knowledgeable, flexible, attentive and fun to be around. My husband and sons had a blast and can't wait to plan another trip with him!
Charles CallahanMember since 20235.0Day in the Keys with Capt. Charlie
on June 11, 2023I have been on a lot of charter boats in a lot of different places. Capt. Charlie is definitely one of the best. He was friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable about his area. He had a special “Keys way” of doing things that I had never seen before. But boy did it work!! We were catching fish all day! I will definitely fish with him when I am down in the Keys again.
George RosenthalMember since 20235.0Relaxing In The Keys
on June 11, 2023Captain Charlie made our experience so enjoyable by taking a bunch of novice fishermen out and allowed us to have such an enjoyable experience by using his knowledge, patience and attention to detail. I highly recommend anyone book a trip and guarantee you won’t regret it.

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.
thank you for such a kind review. I wish we could’ve gotten a Tarpon. We had an incredible trip last night. Please check us out on FB and pmwase keep us in mind for other trips upcoming. 
A lot of fun catching yellowtail snapper. And definitely enjoyed swimming at the lighthouse. The captain was great.
thank you for the kind review. I had a great time with you and your family. looking forward to our next trip.

Thank you so much for the kind review it was our pleasure having your family aboard. It was a great day in the water
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.
Thank you so much for the kind review. It was such a pleasure having you and your family on the boat. I’m glad we got to switch it up and bend the rod and have a good time. Looking in I forward to our next trip. Thanks again.
