    Great Day on the Water with Captain Kyle

    6 Hour Trip on June 22, 2026 • 2 adults

    We booked a 6-hour charter with Captain Kyle in Islamorada and had a great experience. It was a long day on the water and definitely tiring, but it was a lot of fun and well worth it. Kyle worked hard to keep us on fish and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. We caught a nice variety of fish, including a sea trout, 6 mangrove snappers, 2 Goliath groupers, 2 barracudas, and several other species such as ladyfish and mutton snapper. The action stayed steady throughout the trip, and it was exciting to see so many different fish. Captain Kyle was knowledgeable, professional, and easy to spend the day with. If you're looking for a fun fishing trip in Islamorada with a captain who puts in the effort, we'd definitely recommend him. Thanks for a memorable day on the water! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Fishing and Then Some

    6 Hour Trip on May 9, 2026 • 2 adults

    I’ve had a lot of fishing guides over the years, but this day with Captain Kyle felt different from the minute we stepped on board with his warm and enthusiastic welcome. The day was pure adventure in the locations we fished and species we encountered, and all we learned about the Keys (our first trip there) and fishing tips and techniques for this area. The boat was very comfortable and well equipped. That night we took our catch to a local beachfront sports bar Kyle recommended (Hog Heaven), where they served it up while we listened to live music. An exclamation point on a great day. More than anything, Kyle’s passion for what he does and knowledge he loves to share comes through in abundance. We will be back to Islamorada and look forward to booking Captain Kyle again.

    Hooked on Captain Gabor

    4 Hour Trip on March 14, 2026 • 3 adults

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Backcountry Fishing Experience with Captain Gabor I recently went on a fishing charter in the Florida Keys with my two sons and my brother-in-law, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience thanks to Captain Gabor. From the moment we got started, Captain Gabor put us on fish. Throughout the day we caught multiple species and stayed busy the entire trip. What really stood out, though, was how much we learned. Captain Gabor took the time to explain techniques, positioning, and strategy in a way that made the day both productive and educational. These are fishing lessons my sons and I will never forget. One moment that perfectly captured his dedication and professionalism happened when he was helping remove a hook from one of the fish we caught and accidentally got hooked in the hand. It was entirely my son’s fault, but Captain Gabor handled it with incredible patience and good humor. He shrugged it off, kept the mood light, and continued the trip with the same energetic, optimistic attitude he had all day. If you want to experience real backcountry fishing in the Florida Keys, I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Gabor. Great fishing, great instruction, and an even better attitude. It was a fantastic day on the water for our family.

    Absolutely a must!

    4 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM on January 2, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Best captain around! We went out and were on fish immediately! We will be back again and use Kyle! Worth every dollar, you'll want to book with him for sure! Boat was clean, gear was in great shape and absolutely a ton of bait. We had a big grouper on the line and it rock bound us, he got it free and handed it back over to reel it in an saved the catch! Would recommend for kids or a party trip for adults. He'll cater to what you want! He has a big cooler for your food and drinks, and dry storage on board. Just show up and fish! To top it off we saw tons of dolphins and a manatee!

    Incredible trip and captain!!

    6 Hour Trip on May 29, 2026 • 4 adults

    We (myself, husband and 2 adult sons) had a wonderful trip with Capt Kyle. He was incredibly knowledgeable, and put us onto plenty of speckled trout and mangrove snapper. Capt Kyle himself was very kind and fun, cutting it up with my husband and sons the entire trip. If you’re looking for a great trip with an even greater captain then Kyle is your guy!! We highly recommend him!!

    Soooo much fun!

    6 Hour Trip on January 3, 2026 • 2 adults

    My 18yo son and I went out for 6 hours with Capt Kyle Jan 3. This was out first time fishing Islamorada. We had a blast! He is competent in his boating and navigation skills as well as understanding of the conditions, what fish are biting, and how and where to catch them. He has a great personality and fun taste in music. We look forward to fishing with him in the future.
