We had an amazing experience fishing with Nick! From the moment we got on the boat, he was kind, patient, and incredibly hands-on. Every time we caught a fish or lost a hook, he was right there to re-rig our line and get us back to fishing without missing a beat. He shared helpful tips and tricks throughout the trip, and even checked in with us to make sure we caught enough fish to take home for dinner. You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure everyone has a great time. We couldn't have asked for a better captain, and we would book another trip with Nick in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
This was literally the best time !! The ocean was very calm and we had little cloud cover. We caught many fish, and 8 were keepers. We got 5 Mahi Mahi and 3 Bonita keepers.. It rained a little on the way back, but it was perfect fishing weather. Nick was a great captain, played good music, got us some great catches and recommended we take our Mahi Mahi to Kaya’s in Key West where they cooked it up for us in a 3 course meal !! Coolest experience ever !! Thank you Nick for the awesome trip !!
Thanks for the great review!
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!
Nick was great. We had a great time! It was our first time using a charter in Key West. From the time we booked the trip up until the night before, we had great communication about the reservation. We constantly caught fish and was a great experience. We will definitely book with Nick again the next time we are here!!!
Thanks for the great review!
