Highly Recommend Capt. Dan
4 Hr Trip – Kids Inshore Fishing on August 4, 20263 adults

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.

Capt Dan shark fishing out of Stock Island, Key West
6hr Goliath grouper and shark trip on July 13, 2026

Highly recommend this trip with Cap Dan, he put us on sharks for a solid 6-hours and we had a blast. My 12 year old son was reeling them in one after another and absolutely loved it. Capt Dan knew where to go, had a ton of bait and constantly chummed so we were reeling them continuously. By the end of the day we had some amazing pictures and memories for a lifetime.....and were exhausted from fighting these sharks. Will definitely do this trip again and would recommend to anyone.

Response from Captain

amazing trip thank you. hopefully see you soon

Epic Day in the Keys
3 Hr – close to home shark fishing on July 3, 20262 adults

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.

Reported catch:
Nurse Shark
Lemon Shark

Air jaws in Key West?
3hr evening sun set shark trip on June 9, 20262 adults

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.

Response from Captain

awesome review thank you!! can't wait to do it again

Unforgettable Shark Fishing Adventure with Capt. Dan
4 Hr Trip – Evening Shark Fishing on May 20, 20264 adults

Our family had the absolute best fishing trip of our lives with Capt. Dan. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the excitement never stopped. We were out for four hours and had a shark on at least one line the entire time — no exaggeration. The first shark of the day was a 7‑foot Bull Shark, and the fight lasted a full 1.5 hours. Watching that beast surface was a thrill none of us will ever forget. After that, the action just kept coming. We landed multiple 7‑plus‑foot Lemon Sharks and even a sleek, hard‑fighting Blacktip Shark. These fish were absolutely incredible to see up close. What made the trip truly exceptional was Capt. Dan himself. His knowledge, energy, and passion for what he does turned a great day into an unforgettable one. He made sure everyone in the family was involved, safe, and having fun. Thanks to him, this became the highlight of our vacation — hands down the best trip we’ve ever taken. If you’re looking for nonstop action, unforgettable memories, and a captain who genuinely cares about giving you the experience of a lifetime, book a trip with Capt. Dan. You won’t regret it.

Reported catch:
Blacktip Shark
Bull Shark
Lemon Shark
