4 Hour Trip – Backcountry-Morning on December 10, 2024
Booked a solo trip with Captain Neil. Hands-down, the best guy I know to go fishing with. You will not be disappointed. He got us on the fish right away and kept us on the fish all day. Great guy, and easy to get along with. I had a fun time and I’ll be back. Thanks, Captain!

6 Hour Trip – Backcountry on February 12, 2024
Neil was a great host, showing us around the mangroves and putting us on fish throughout. Would recommend to anyone looking for an adventure off the beaten path of the Keys

Your operator
Key West, Florida, United States
After running guided fishing trips since 1998 in Virginia, Capt. Neil decided to become a full-time captain in 2002 and moved to the Keys in 2014. His good nature and experience as a professional fishing guide for over two decades will ensure an enjoyable fun filled day catching fish in the Florida Keys. Guests have come back again and again and many have become like family – not only because of the fishing success, but also for the laughs and camaraderie we’ve had over the years. Maintaining a fun, friendly and enjoyable atmosphere on the boat is what it’s about, “I’m up for exchanging knowledge, and happily showing you what fishing in Key West is all about,” says Capt Neil. Over his career he has earned sponsorship from well known companies like Costa, Penn, Berkley, to name a few.
