Awesome trip the captain and crew were on there game. Our prior trip cancelled due to weather however the warned us they would take us but would be rough. They weatherrrd the storm as long as we could last eventually with us all getting sea sick so we choose to bring it in but they were eager to keep us out and catch fish we did catch mackerel they worked hard in really tough conditions! Awesome expierence too bad sea sick got us but they did there job and then some thanks again Ben and Matt we will be back hard working crew great company
Josh, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 5 Star review. We’re happy you guys were able to get out, considering the conditions on the day. We hope to see you guys again next time you’re in the Keys.
First time fishing with Coastal Dreams Fishing and will certainly be back to fish with them again. Captain Angel and First Mate Thomas were the best! They made sure we had an exciting time and even took us out a bit further in search of some Mahi. On our trip, we caught many yellowtail snapper, a monster mutton snapper, and a monster red grouper. We couldn't have asked for a better day out on the water and the next time we are in Key Largo, we know who to call when we want to catch some fish.
Matthew, Thank you for the kind words and the 5 Star review for our crew. They work very hard to help our guest create lasting memories. Your recognition is fuel for them and it's really helpful for our future guest. We hope to see you guys next time you're in the Keys. Be well.
my brother and i went on this charter for his bachelor party trip. we are people who fish whenever we go on vacation. i have to say this one was one of our favorite experiences we’ve had. the crew was great and the captain was also great. super friendly fun and lively. kept the energy up and helped us bring home a lot of fish. we will definitely be returning to the keys to fish with coastal dreams again! the boat was also very nice with a lot of space for multiple people.
