We had a fabulous time on the fishing trip and our captain Brian made it even better! He was so knowledgeable with every fish we reeled in and made everything so much fun! We caught Mangrove snapper mainly and a huge grouper but had to throw it back. Such an adrenaline rush! Highly recommend! Hopefully we can plan another trip and maybe get Brian again!
We had an amazing day on the water with Captain Bryan! He was incredibly patient with the kids and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included, which made the experience even more enjoyable for our family. The weather was a little unpredictable, but he was flexible and adjusted our plans so we could still have a great trip. We caught tons of fish and a great variety too, which kept the excitement going the whole time. The kids had an absolute blast and it turned into such a fun and memorable day for all of us. If you’re looking for a fishing charter that’s family-friendly, fun, and run by someone who truly cares about the experience, Captain Bryan is the one to book! 🎣🐟☀️
I booked the charter for me and my son during our holiday vacation to the keys. I explained to Captain Ryan how we weren't looking to keep any fish and just wanted to get the best fishing action possible. Captain Ryan proceeded to take us to their Grouper fishing grounds and we had a blast! We've never fished for such huge fish before and the experience was unforgettable. We hooked 2 huge groupers but were not able to get them to the boat since they were too big. However, we also hooked a huge 8-9 foot bull shark and were able to get it to the boat for pictures and video. Fantastic trip!!!!
My family had an absolutely incredible time on this fishing charter! From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and a whole lot of fun. Captain Bryce was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he did. He knew exactly where to take us, and we were reeling in fish in no time. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, and Captain Bryce made sure everyone—beginners and experienced anglers alike—felt confident and taken care of. He handled all the gear, shared great tips, and created a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. Would highly recommend!
We had Bryan as our Captain and he was great. He was very knowledgeable about the spots to fish and where we needed to go. We had to slighlty alter plans, due to the wind, but Brian communicated that ahead of time and it was his decision for the safety and comfort for everyone on the boat. We caught a LOT of fish. Limits of snapper, other small species, then we went after Cobia and we landed two in the boat Thanks to Bryan. He also warned us about sharks and yes, we did see a couple (or the same a few times) 7' or so Bull sharks. Overall, a great trip with Bryan and would definitely recommend Capt Jays and Bryan to anyone looking for some good fun on the water!

We had a really exciting and fun trip with Captain Bryan. He got us onto all kinds of fish. We even got to get up and close with a hammerhead shark. At least as close as you would want to. Bryan was easy to talk to and we had a blast catching numerous different types of fish. Overall a fantastic fishing trip for my son’s birthday. I would definitely book another trip in the future.

Me and mybson had Bryan, the dude was incredibly knowledgable and helpful. He made contact with me prior to the trip to keeo me updatedonthe trip, unfortunately we tried too get to the reef but there seas weren't havng it. If he didnt give the heads up im sure the trip would of been a dud. I highly recommend this sevice, its monday well spent.

For our trip we had Captain Brian who was very knowledgeable. We caught alot of fish various kinds of snappers, bluefish, mackerel, shark, grouper, and jacks. It was a great experience and I highly recommend this charter! If you decide to keep some of your catch take it to Lazy Days South. Its roughly a 10 minute drive from their dock and they will cook your catch however you like. We recommend fried with Lazy Day style (Tomatoes, Parmesan, Green Onion, and KeyLime Butter) also their Coconut shrimp are phenominal!
Brian was a great guide! We wanted a fun day of catching fish, & he took us to just the right spot for a lot of action & fish to catch. We caught a nice variety, and even reeled in a few sharks. We only kept enough fish for a couple of meals, but they were biting consistently the whole time. I would definitely recommend this charter.

Great job putting us on the fish and keeping us on spot - not only did we catch several dozen fish, but we also caught a variety which is what we were looking for.
