We went out today with Sun King Charters and had an excellent experience. Captain Aaron was fantastic with our young kids, patient, engaging, and made sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. The boat was very clean, well-kept, and comfortable, which made a big difference for our family. We had some questionable weather, but Captain Aaron worked hard to find a small weather window and was able to get us out safely, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a great trip and a memorable experience for our family. I would highly recommend Sun King Charters for your next Florida Keys fishing trip.
Captain Aaron is great! He knows where to find the fish, and he is great at helping rig, bait, and cast rods. Our foursome really enjoyed a beautiful half day of sun, relaxing music, and fishing, and Aaron made it easy and enjoyable. We would go back out with Aaron again any time! As a side note, I have been on other charters where the captain and/or first mate treated the female passengers paternalistically. Aaron never made me feel second rate or like less of a fisherman, and you have no idea how refreshing that is. I don't think it would even occur to Aaron to treat his male and female passengers differently, which really meant a lot to me. Extra kudos to Aaron for being an all-around good human!
We had an absolutely fantastic chartered fishing trip in the Florida Keys this past weekend to celebratemy son's birthday, and Captain Aaron made it truly special! From the moment we stepped aboard, his professionalism and expertise shone through. He's incredibly well-spoken and tailored his coaching to each fisherman's experience level — whether beginner or seasoned, everyone felt supported and learned something new. We caught some great fish, enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and created memories we'll cherish forever. We can't wait to book with Captain Aaron again — highly recommend him for anyone looking for a top-notch, personalized fishing experience! Five stars all the way!
We had an incredible day fishing the reefs with Captain Aaron and absolutely crushed it. We caught a bounty of fish and had a blast from start to finish. Captain Aaron was super accommodating, incredibly kind, and clearly knows these waters inside and out. He put us on fish, shared tons of knowledge, and made sure everyone was having a great time the whole trip. If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience with a captain who truly cares, this is it. Couldn’t recommend Captain Aaron and this trip enough.
Captain Aaron was a great choice for our family of four with two elementary school aged kids. We initially wanted to do a near shore trip on Monday - but a week before, the weather shifted, and after some discussion Capt Aaron recommended in shore trip. He repriced and replanted the trip, so we caught a few dozen snappers with enough keepers for lunch. We were also fortunate to see manatees! Could not recommend Capt Aaron highly enough - no regrets, amazing communication, and a phenomenal day on the water!

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
Originally from Indiana, I moved to Islamorada in 2018 chasing warm sunshine & fishing dreams. Learning the ropes on head boats & private charters as a mate. Naturally, I took the next step of becoming a Captain & running my own charters. The amazing fishing, places, people, wildlife & beautiful waters make the keys my island paradise. I try to share those vibes with folks who join me on the boat. Any day out on the water is a day to be treasured.
