Key West Fishing Connection 

10-stars. Captain Dan runs an absolutely fantastic charter. The boat is fast, stable, and open. We were on Goliath Grouper within minutes of departing the dock. Very shortly after that, we were in a battle with a 7" Bull Shark, and then a Sand Shark, a pair of Lemon Sharks, and then another beautiful Grouper. Captain Dan is super personable, incredibly knowledgeable about the fishery and, really importantly to me, he did ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING with an immense amount of respect and humanity toward these animals. It is obvious he loves these creatures and one day on the water with Captain Dan and you will too. Seriously, rent this boat.

My wife and I came down from Fort Worth Texas to visit the keys for our honeymoon. One of the stops along the way was a guided fishing tour. We are so happy we found Daniel near Key West, A true local, and a guide for over 25 years. His experience truly showed as we caught tons of sharks (over 200 lb Lemons and more). Two big grouper landed and hooked into a few more grouper that got away. And we saw an amazing display of life in the Florida waters! Huge Sharks Swimming all around the boat while hooked into trophy grouper! we also got to meet a massive grouper nicknamed Rollo! He had to be 500 pounds plus! What a massive and beautiful beast who came right up to my GoPro camera! Daniel was an amazing captain! Thank you so much for being part of what has been an awesome honeymoon! We will be back and we will give your name to everyone!

Captain Dan delivered an outstanding fishing trip from start to finish. He was professional, knowledgeable, well-prepared, and clearly knows exactly where to put his guests on the fish. The action stayed steady all day, and we ended the trip with an incredible 13 sharks caught. Captain Dan made the experience enjoyable for everyone, whether you are an experienced angler or trying shark fishing for the first time. He explained what we were doing, kept the gear ready, and made every catch feel exciting. You can tell he genuinely enjoys being on the water and works hard to give his customers a memorable trip. If you are looking for an exciting fishing charter with a skilled captain who puts you on the action, I highly recommend Captain Dan. We will definitely be back for another

If you’re considering a fishing trip, I can’t recommend Captain Dan highly enough! We recently spent a fantastic day out on the water with him, and it was an experience my two teenage boys will never forget. Each boy caught 2 sharks each and even got in the water to take a picture with one. From the moment we boarded the boat, it was clear that Captain Dan is not just skilled at fishing but also incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain various fishing techniques and the types of fish/sharks we were targeting, making the experience educational as well as enjoyable. My boys were eager to learn, and Captain Dan’s patience was impressive. He answered all their questions, no matter how basic, and encouraged them every step of the way. Captain Dan took the time to connect with my kids. He made sure they felt comfortable, even when the fishing got tough at times. Instead of rushing, he patiently guided them through the process. Highly recommended. Would absolutely go out again with him in the future.

Captain Dan is the man! Took us out to a couple of his fishing holes and hooked up instantly almost every time. His spots were more like aquariums with the amount of life swimming around. Dan knows his stuff and has a lot of experience out on the water. I really wanted to catch a Goliath Grouper and he let me know before we took off that we had a 99.99% chance of getting one with the conditions for the day. He wasn’t wrong went 2/3 on the grouper and then proceeded to catch all the nurse sharks you could want. Switched up to another spot that was holding all of Neptunes finest from giant goliath grouper to lemon sharks. It was amazing to see so many giants hanging out around the boat. Dan the man had a trash can of bait and kept the fish interested. Battled a really nice Lemon shark to end the day. A very epic trip that I will always remember.

My wife and I were visiting Key West and booked a 3 hour shark fishing charter with Captain Dan. From the outset, it was clear we had selected the right captain. His initial message to me “Are you ready to catch something big?” perfectly set the tone for what proved to be an exceptional experience. We enjoyed an epic adventure, surrounded by sharks while landing impressive catches throughout the trip. We even had sharks pirouette through the air twice. The action was nearly constant, the only time we did not have a fish on the line was during our brief breaks. This was more catching than fishing, delivering exactly the thrilling outing we had hoped for. Captain Dan’s expertise and enthusiasm really made the charter a blast for anyone chasing adventure and awesome memories out on the water. We highly recommend Captain Dan to anyone looking for a great fishing adventure in Key West.

You want big fish? big fights? nonstop action? Then this is THEY charter. Captain Dan was the perfect guide and knew all the spots. we fought fish all over 100 pounds and one bull shark for almost 2 hours in the pouring rain, comig im at well over 250lb. Felt like deadliest catch out there and made for a unbelievable memory. once the rain rolled through, it was nonstop action from there. giant grouper and mega sharks were all around the boat. Captn Dan would throw a line in an instant instantly would get hit. This is the REAL DEAL. had the opportunity to land a 500 pound grouper but got off still an unbelievable trip. The knowledge Captn Dan had was unbelievable from taking us to different rock beds, hard bottom sand, and deep water channels. He knew it all and knew how to get on fish. me and my girlfriend had quite possibly the most memorable experience we've had to date and she even got onto her very first fish. Sharks, grouper, and everything in between is what you want in a Key West charter and this is where you find it. Go get you some.

I would 100% recommend anyone who loves fishing or is vacationing to the keys to go on this trip. The captain was so kind and helpful and wanted us to get as many fish on as we could. We never stood around waiting, we had shark and grouper hooked the whole trip. The captain knew i wanted a grouper and kept looking for spots till I could catch one! His son was also with him and was very helpful and fun to talk to as well! I had zero complaints and couldnt have asked for a better captain or big fishing trip.

captain Dan took us on a short 30 minute trip from the dock. he had a significant amount of chum he collected and began getting it out on the water and giant sharks and grouper immediately circled the boat. we had an over 200 lbs bull shark hooked within minutes and fought him for an hour. we also caught a nurse shark before we were exhausted and ended the day as a storm settled in nearby. overall i would highly recommend Captain Dan for shark fishing! thank you for such a great day on the water great!

Dan was great super cool guy!! Soon as we got to the spot we got to work. Within like a minute of dropping our bait I landed a nice ~50lb Goliath Grouper!! Then right after the grouper got back in the water less then 5mins we were on a shark fighting for about a hour and landed a 6-7ft Bull Shark easily 200lb!! And shortly after landed one more Bull a lil bit bigger but a lot more fiesty. If you want to CATCH sharks not fish for shark book with Dan and be prepared to go to war🤣
