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.
thank you again
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.
awesome thank you
I wasn’t sure how my three year old would do on a fishing charter, but everything was great! The Capt was really responsive, everything was ready to go when we arrived! The trip was tailored to what my son was comfortable with, and he got to catch some really big fish! They took the time to teach him how to hold the fish, and made the experience really fun for his age! We will definitely book again, and highly recommend, even for the young anglers!
awesome thank you again
Wow!! This fishing trip was the absolute highlight of our Key West vacation! Capt Dan was an absolutely amazing guide. Fishing for sharks while also catching a variety of other fish. He was awesome with the kiddos and made sure everyone was comfirtable and having a great time. Highest recommendations!! Tons of sharks and fish as soon as we hit both spots he took us. Thanks for the great momories Capt Dan!! Kids can’t stop talking about it!!
thank you!!
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.
awesome thank you. hopefully we can do it again one day.

I grew up fishing the Florida keys for over 40 years. Fishing is second nature to me. What I enjoy most is watching people catch big trophy fish. I love fishing so much I even go on my days off.
