Carlos Rodriguez5.0VerifiedGreat Fishing Day!
4 Hour Trip – Captain's Choice on April 24, 2026 • 2 adultsLuke is a very experienced boat Captain and fisherman to say the least! Luke is very accommodating thru-out the trip and makes sure your having a good ti me and are comfortable doing it. We caught plenty of fish to share ! So, if your thinking of booking a fishing trip I definitely recommend Captain Luke Higgins. Dont miss it! The highlight of your Florida Keys fishing adventure!
Paula Higgins5.0VerifiedCaught a 6’ Nurse Shark today!
3 Hour Trip – Custom - 1:30 PM on March 6, 2026 • 3 adultsWhat a treasure to find Capt Luke and his boat nearby our hotel wirh plenty if parking. i had mistakenly booked the wrong date but Luke fixed it. Great communication back and forth while we watched the windy conditions we had forcasted. Comfortable boat handled the waves very well. I highly recommend using Capt Luke for your fishing charters, very reasonable and capable. My 25 year old son is an avid fisherman and was thrilled to catch a 6’ nurse shark, along with numerous other fish. We’ll be back! 🐟😎 Paula and Max
Heather Kramer4.7VerifiedProfessional and Personable
3 Hour Trip – Custom on December 30, 2025 • 5 adultsCaptain Luke did a great job of catering to my 70+ year old parents and to my 15 year old daughter. He was receptive to the needs of my dad who has Parkinson's, and is an experienced boater and angler but hasn't fished in 3 years bc of his condition...until this experience with Capt Luke...how wonderful to see him in his element, happily catching yellowtail for 3 hours! In addition the booking system, openess to personalized trips/needs, cost and location made this a WONDERFUL experience! My parents will book again this season in Key Largo, and we will when back down next year!
Sherri Daniel5.0VerifiedFishing with Luke
3 Hour Trip – Custom on March 8, 2026 • 4 adultsCaptain Luke was great. His boat was clean and well maintained. Capt Luke was awesome. He kept our hooks baited and was very knowledgeable about the fish we caught. Our group caught enough fish for supper plus bonus 40 lb grouper that we could not keep due to being out of season. We had a great time, would recommend Capt Luke to everyone.
Rebecca Lefevre5.0VerifiedNice family trip
2 Hour Trip – Family Fun on February 20, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 childWent out for two hours with our family. This amount of time was perfect for our first time out on a boat (my youngest is 6- he would not have lasted longer but really enjoyed catching a few fish). My 13 year old said her time on the fishing boat was her favorite part of our week in the Keys. Thanks Luke!
Claire Jennings5.0VerifiedExcellent trip!
5 Hour Trip – Custom on December 14, 2025 • 2 adultsMy son and I had an amazing time out with Captain Luke! The weather was questionable during our trip, and Luke went above and beyond to make sure we were able to get a fishing trip in! We lost count of the number of fish we caught! Highly recommend Luke!
Kayla Young5.0VerifiedLots of fun 🎣
4 hour Half Day Wreck AM on January 22, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Luke was friendly, knowledgeable, and super helpful on our quest to catch fish! It wasn’t the nicest day out but we still had a great time catching snappers and a large mackerel. Would recommend!
Melissa Pratt5.0VerifiedFantastic Trip

Thanks, Paula. I really appreciated your generosity & patience while we worked around the wind. I had a great trip with you & Max. Looking forward to next time!

Fun family! I had a great time and look forward to fishing with all of you again!
Excellent trip. Captain Luke was great. Started out trolling. Had a shark take our wahoo. Then we went to the reef and caught 25 yellowtail snapper. He fileted them for us and we had a restaurant captain Luke recommended cook our catch for dinner. Highly recommend. Will charter with him again.
Thanks, Paul! It sure was an exciting afternoon. i had a great time with you & your parents. I'll look forward to seeing you all again.
Luke was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable and good with anglers of all skills and ages. We caught 4 keeper black tuna and about a dozen other small fish on a 5 hour trip. I brought my 12-year-old son who is a decent fisher and my 10-year-old daughter that never fishes. Both had a great time and reeled in some fish. Luke also recommended a restaurant that would cook the fish for us locally. Boat is comfortable with decent seating & bathroom - both must for kids. I’m certain we could’ve weny after bigger game without the kids.
Thanks, Jeff! I had a great morning with your family. It was a fun time! I hope you enjoyed the tuna. Happy New Year!
