An unforgettable day on the water! Captain Ben was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and truly an expert. He helped make my 13-year old sons dream come true by putting him on not one, but two tarpon! We also saw lots of dolphins, sharks, bonefish, barracudas, and stingrays, making the experience even more incredible. I couldn’t have asked for a better charter—highly recommend! We will definitely be back on the water with Ben!
Thanks for coming out Isbel!
I told Captain Ben I wanted to catch barracuda to again relive the memories when I came down to the Keys decades ago during a college road trip. Scooting around the beautiful Florida Keys’ flats pursuing Cuda,” and then catching the toothy critters was a fantastic thill. Outstanding trip! Thanks Captain Ben!
Thanks for coming out Eric!
Me and my son had an exellent time! Would highly recommend to anyone and we will be going again when we return to the Keys.
thanks Steve!
Capt. Ben is the guy I would want to fish with all the time! Caught countless snappers, a couple of barracuda, and rounded off the morning with a beautiful lemon shark! A fight of a lifetime! What a great day!
Thanks Joe!
Ben worked hard trying to create opportunities. From an airborne large baracuda launching out of the water to a beautiful big cobia being eaten by a huge bull shark boats idea, to the mess of snappers for lunch. Good times.
Thankyou for coming out Jay!

Little Torch Key, Florida, United States
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
Meet Captain Ben Moloney, your guide for thrilling flats fishing in the beautiful Lower Florida Keys. Captain Ben's fishing journey began at just 13, side by side with his older brother, exploring the Keys' pristine waters. Little did he know that these early adventures would shape his entire life. In 2019, Captain Ben faced a tragic loss when his brother, and greatest fishing mentor, passed away. To honor his brother's legacy and continue their shared passion, Ben embarked on a mission that blended his love for the ocean with his dedication to his brother's memory. Before guiding anglers through the flats, Ben served his country as a Reconnaissance Marine for an impressive five years. During his military service, he honed skills like navigation, adaptability, and resilience. These traits would later serve him well as a fishing guide.
