William BowersRepeat angler5.0VerifiedCouldn’t Have Been Better!!
Half Day Trip (PM) on June 6, 2026 • 3 adultsCaptain Bill & First Mate AJ were very accommodating and professional. As an amateur fisherman, they made our excursion extremely enjoyable. AJ’s enthusiasm and effort were incredible. My 17 year old grandson had the time of his life and can’t wait to fish with Captain Bill & First Mate AJ.

Scott Gooch5.0VerifiedGreat day fishing!
Full Day Trip on May 17, 2025 • 2 adultsHave been out for Mahi many times. However, this was my first trip out on the Linda D. Capt. Billy put us on the fish and First Mate Jessie made sure we got them in the boat! We were a party of two that came back with 18 Mahi and a Tuna. There were some big fish in the bunch including a 23 pound bull. Will certainly book with them again on my next trip to Key West. A big thank you to the crew for a great day on the water and a freezer full of fish!!
Kurt DittmannRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFull Day Trip with Captain Jay and mate AJ
Full Day Trip on July 3, 2023 • 4 adultsHands down fantastic experience all the way around! We came to Key West from rural Oregon. We did a lot of researching on fishing charters and luckily landed with this company. Let me save you time...stop researching and book Linda D Charters. Captain very knowledgeable about the waters and where the fish are. Mate AJ was friendly, positive, hard working, excited to share his knowledge about fishing AND get us on fish!! If we ever return, we would book with Linda D again.

Derrick CherneRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFull day trip with Captain Jay and Mate Shayne
Full Day Trip on September 7, 2022 • 2 adultsIt was a nice calm day. Very hot though. The water was very smooth. We went out fishing, and the fish were not behaving haha. They did everything they could do, we even switched up where and how. We got on some fish and it was a blast. They did everything in their power to make it the best day possible. Even recommended a great place to go have our catch cooked up. Over all we will be back!
Dwight Andress5.0VerifiedFull day fishing on the Linda D
Full Day Trip on May 4, 2022 • 6 adultsGreat captain and mate. The boat is perfect for a group and got us to the fishing grounds pretty quick where we limited out. Shane worked hard to keep us all organized and did a great job cleaning our fish at the end of the day. We would not hesitate to re-book with Capt Billy next time we are in Key West!

Fishing was amazing. As soon as we started fishing they were biting. Captain Billy got us on the fish quickly for our 4 hour trip. Deckhand AJ was amazing. Took time to speak with my son on his first fishing trip about what was going on and the fish we were catching. As soon as we caught fish he had the lines back in ready to go. Fishing was not stop. Unforgettable experience. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to fish in the Key West area.
The crew was fantastic. We arrived right on time and by the time we got on the boat we had already left the marina After we left the deckhand which had a great personality started getting everything setup for us to go fishing. The boat had plenty of room for everyone to sit out of the the way of the deckhand and captain. Once we started getting trolling it took a while to get bites but we ended up bringing in a few mackerel, tuna, and a mahi mahi. Overall was a great trip.
thank You so much for taking the time to leave us a review!! it was a awesome day! Have a great new year! we will see soon. take care capt Billy

Your captain
Key West, Florida, United States
Fishing in the Key West waters is the Wickers' family tradition. My grandfather, Capt. Willie, established the Linda D. over 78 years ago, and it's been running strong ever since. I followed my grandfather's and father's footsteps, becoming the 4th generation captain in our family. The years of knowledge of seamanship and fishing passed through our family make us the prime choice for fishing in Key West. I've been navigating through these waters since I was a child, meaning I can guide you to the areas where I know the fish love to bite.
