If you’re thinking about booking a fishing charter — do it with Captain Dan. Seriously, one of the best days we’ve ever had on the water. Captain Dan had us on fish immediately. Not only did we land a barracuda, but we also caught 2 incredible blacktip shark… so incredible that we’re actually getting one taxidermied as a memory from the trip! That alone tells you how epic the day was. Also snagged a juvenile shark immediately! Captain Dan is the perfect mix of knowledgeable, patient, and just genuinely fun to fish with. He knows exactly where to go, keeps the energy high, and makes sure everyone on the boat is having a great time whether you’re a seasoned angler or just along for the ride. The boat was clean, comfortable, and the scenery out there was unreal. It honestly felt like one of those days you wish you could hit rewind and do all over again. If you’re in the area and want a true fishing adventure, book with Captain Dan. We’d go out again with him in a heartbeat.

I am an outdoorsman from Wisconsin. I live to hunt and fish with my kids. I booked a half day shark trip with Captain Dan on our family vacation to the keys. It was far and away the best fishing experience of my life. From the moment we got to our spot we had constant action for the full four hours on black tip and black nose sharks landing 11 of 16 and often having multiple on at a time. These sharks were up to 80 pounds. The five we lost spooled us so I asked Captain Dan what they were and how we catch them and he said we'd have to bring out the really heavy tackle to slow them down. I booked another half day with him to try it. We started out that half day catching a bunch of snapper for the cooler and bait fish. Then he put in the shark rods. Again, constant action but this time they were huge. We ended up catching 3 Lemon sharks, a Nurse shark, and a Goliath Grouper. The sharks were all over 8' long and 250 lbs and the grouper was pushing 500 lbs. This was the absolute best thing ever. I've caught a lot of muskies and salmon in my life and these sharks made them feel like minnows. Captain Dan is extremely knowledgable and a blast to fish with. I can't wait to get back out there with him again. He has my highest recommendation.

Captain Dan was great! you can tell he truly eats, sleeps and beathes Fishing. I highley recommend him to anyone looking to go out on the water to fish. He was knowledgeable and put our best interests first! He was adamant about us changing the date because the weather was bad and he wanted us to have the best possible experience, but we had nothing else planned and we were eager to get out there. We were still able to land 3 sharks by the end of the trip in weather that didn’t favor us. I wouldnt question it, book the charter, you wont regret it!

Captian Dan took my wife, mom and I out for a 3 hour sunsey shark trip and it will be a lifelong memory. We did not know what we were getting ourselves into when we decided to go shark fishing, but we had action the whole time. As a client who asks a lot of questions, Dan was very kind and knowledgeable in answering them all. I’ve been on a few charters before, but this is one I would recommend to anyone going to the Florida Keys!

My wife, 2 kids and I have never been fishing before but Daniel was brilliant with us. He took us to a stunning spot and talked us through everything we needed to know. We caught a 5ft shark on the first cast and proceeded to catch at least another 10 big shark! We all caught, handled and released shark and got some amazing photos. So glad we booked and will definitely book again if we ever come back to the Keys. We live in London so a good 10 hour flight and 3 hour drive to the keys, but my son is already insisting we have to come back for his birthday 😂
