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
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!
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!!
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.

If you’re thinking about booking the trip, do it. Me and 3 buddies went out and had an absolute blast from start to finish. The action was nonstop. It felt like every few minutes we were hooked up to another shark. We lost count of how many we caught by the end of the trip. Dan seriously knew what he was doing. He put us right on the fish, knew all the best spots, and made the whole experience super fun and easy even when the bite got crazy. He was awesome about helping us hook fish, keeping rods ready, and making sure everyone got in on the action. The highlight was definitely catching a giant goliath grouper, which was by far the craziest fish ive ever caught. Between the sharks, the grouper, and just being out on the water, it ended up being one of the most fun fishing trips we’ve ever been on. Couldn’t recommend this charter enough- we’ll definitely be booking again.
The fishing itself was fantastic. Whether you’re experienced or just getting started, the whole experience feels exciting and rewarding. We were catching fish consistently, and the variety made it even more fun. Every cast felt like it could turn into a great story. What really made the trip stand out, though, was the overall atmosphere. It was relaxing but still full of energy and anticipation. Captain Dan was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what he does, which made the experience feel personal and well taken care of. By the end of the day, I felt both refreshed and accomplished. It’s the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. I’d recommend a fishing trip in the Florida Keys to anyone looking for a memorable day on the water—you won’t be disappointed.
Best fishing trip ever! Captain Daniel was incredibly patient, experienced, and truly wonderful to spend the day with. He never stopped helping, guiding, and coaching us for a single moment. His knowledge of the area and the different types of fish was amazing—you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. We felt completely safe and taken care of the entire time, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Both of my boys were catching fish after fish—bull shark, blacktip shark, lemon sharks—one after another! Captain Daniel knew all the best spots and kept us on the fish the entire time. We had such a beautiful day out on the water, including an unforgettable 300 lb bull shark! It took my 17-year-old son over 40 minutes to reel him in, and Captain Daniel was right there the entire time, offering encouragement, guidance, and support. My sons will remember this trip for a lifetime. With over 25 years of experience, you will not be disappointed!
