Captain Nick has a very nice fishing platform with his center console. The boat is well maintained and easy to get around while fighting fish. His fishing gear is also first class, and he brought plenty of rods. We were targeting tarpon. We initially were in a group of four boats looking for and chasing tarpon as they surfaced. After 30 minutes or so we broke away to pursue plan B, which was to anchor, chum and fish since plan A was yielding no results for both us and the other 3 boats. We had a few hooks ups and landed one 60-70 tarpon after a great 15 minute or so fight. It should be noted that while we were successful there were boats that went home without catching and releasing a single fish. I would highly recommend Nick.
My husband and I have fished numerous times while visiting Key West but this was our first time taking our teenage sons. Captain Nick made sure this trip was filled with memories to last all of us a lifetime. We were able to catch snapper, black fin tuna and dolphin. I highly recommend the 6 hour trip to allow the opportunity to fish for different types. The boat was spacious with 5 of us onboard, the weather was amazing and the Nick was skilled with finding us fish. We will definitely be returning!
Originally planned to go on a Tuesday but was very choppy and the Captain was considerate enough to ask if we would like to go out on another day that had way more favorable conditions. We caught somewhere around 30 fish kept 20 and made sure we were all taken care of every second of the charter.
Captain Nick is very knowledgable. We caigjt enough snapper for lunch and had a great time. He cam also guide you to right restaurants to prepare the fish. Finding hos boat slip was easy as well.
Took my son and two of his friends on one heck if a trip. Perfect weather. did a full day trip and Nick got us on the snapper and yellow tail. We then headed offshore and hit a big pile of Mahi then iff to another spot for some deep drop…came up with two blue tile fish and a snowy grouper. 10-10 would book again.
