Captain put us on the fish!
4 Hour Trip on October 5, 2026 • 2 adults

4 hour charter, 2 spots, 25 minutes out and 10 different varieties of fish! We averaged a fish every 10 minutes! Always had 3 rods going (there were only 2 of us) so when there was a snag he would get that rod out and hand you another baited rod within seconds and say, “go!”! We had an absolute blast!

Reported catch:
Red Grouper
Black Grouper

Capt. Jeremy runs trips out of his native Key West aboard a 26' and a 32' Intrepid. These waters are known for reef and backcountry fishing, and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're bottom fishing or chasing pelagics. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

    Rough waters changed our original offshore plans. Capt. Jeremy set us up for gulf fishing instead, which was a success. Caught a few decent sized sharks, a bunch of small snapper, and my 8yo son caught a barracuda. He even took us snorkeling after! Highly recommend!

    We had a great experience on this charter. The captain was very relaxed and friendly. He gave us 3 different fishing options once we got on board and then put us on the fish. Great experience overall!

    We had a great time wether it was catching bait, catching shark or just cruising to different areas to fish. Overall was a great morning trip and Captain Jeremy was great, very professional and knew what he was doing at all times. Highly recommend his services and will be back again next time when in Key West.

    He was extremely nice and extremely helpful for people who don’t know how to fish in the reef. Extremely knowledgeable of the area and all around just the best time I’ve had fishing on a charter.
