Great day on the water
6 Hour Trip – Wreck Fishing on June 19, 20265 adults1 child

Great experience. The waters were beautiful, the weather was perfect, and we caught fish. The captain was knowledgeable, friendly, and knew exactly where to find the fish. We caught several fish throughout the day, and the crew was always helpful with baiting hooks, handling catches, and sharing local fishing tips. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, making the trip enjoyable from start to finish. I wpuld definitely book thepugh them again.

Our day with captain Aaron
8 Hour Trip on December 14, 20252 adults

We had originally booked for a Tuesday, but since bad weather was forecast, Captain Aaron contacted us and did everything he could to ensure we could go fishing on a nice day! So we set off three days earlier... We started our day by catching yellowtail snapper! That worked out great, and I even had a parrotfish on the line! Next, we went trolling for sailfish. A large blackfin tuna took the bait! After a great fight, I managed to land this amazing fish! The catch of a lifetime! All in all, it was a wonderful day with Aaron! A fantastic guide whom I can recommend to anyone who wants to go fishing in the Keys!
