Andrew GastrightRepeat angler5.0VerifiedMade our day!
Custom Trips Available on August 1, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain James is the real deal — deep local knowledge, years of experience, and a true professional. Our goal was to get my son his first mahi and my father-in-law his first real ocean fish, and Cap'n James and his mate Darren delivered on both. The boat was clean and well outfitted, and the AC'd cabin was a godsend with the August heat bearing down. Five-plus stars for how the Captain and mate took care of my 82-year-old father-in-law and my 7-year-old son. Couldn't have asked for a better day on the water. This will be the boat I book and recommend to anyone coming to Key West.
Philip RabbRepeat angler5.0Verified5 stars
Custom Trips Available on June 12, 2026 • 3 adultssafe/professional/lots of fish! we highly recommend them ! thank you captain James (full of key west knowledge and history) ! we caught wahoo,mahi, and baracuda. The first fish we caught was a (STUD) wahoo ! Daryn (THE first mate from South Africa ) fillet it for us and we took it to the Hot Tin Roof Restaurant. They prepare it and cooked it perfectly... Thank you Eva Marie! One last detail .. you might get the pleasure of a v22 osprey flying over you as you fish, and captain james can fill you in on all of that, and all the cool things he has seen over the past 43 years of fishing in key west !
Christopher ArriolaRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat crew and equipment for big fish deep sea fishing
6 Hour Trip on May 28, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 childrenWe got yellow jack, snapper. We liked the experience the captain and first mate had, combined over 50 years. They gave us some history of the area during our cruise past the reef. They were very compassionate, we had a few that were getting a little green. But in the end we pushed through and headed home with good fish to eat. . Another reason I choice the Eva Marie because it was a larger vessel with an enclosed cabin with AC for the kids. I recommend this crew and boat!! When I come back I will be on the Eva Marie again.
James Reynolds5.0VerifiedFamily friendly, grateful trip.
4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 14, 2026 • 6 adults • 4 childrenWe had an incredible trip from start to finish. The boat was clean, comfortable, and the A/C blew ice cold, which made a huge difference with four kids on board. The crew was outstanding—friendly, patient, and great with the kids. They worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time and kept us on fish all day. If you're looking for a family-friendly charter with a professional crew and a comfortable boat, I can't recommend this one enough. We'll definitely be back!
Joe Anderson5.0VerifiedAwesome trip
8 Hour Trip on November 13, 2025 • 1 adultCaptain James and first mate Darren were awesome! I had eaters and a bill fish on my bucket list. We caught 7 mahi and a few other non-eaters to start the trip out. Best in fleet that day! We went for bill fish in the afternoon, and we hooked into one that gave me an absolute thrill for about 10 mins with multiple jumps. Unfortunately, they are sneaky fish and he got unbuttoned. Captain also hooked into one that also unhooked himself. Both captain James and first mate Darren were very determined, hardworking and even extended our trip (free of charge) by two hours to try and fulfill my bucket list bill fish, but to no avail. A bill fish will have to wait for my next trip. I highly recommend captain James and first mate Darren.
Scott ArnoldRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Crew, Great Experience
6 Hour Trip on October 15, 2025 • 2 adultsMy buddy and i had a great fishing trip on the Eva Marie! Captain James Willis and First Mate Darren were fantastic! They cater to both seasoned fishers and beginners. We fell somewhere in the middle and couldn’t ask for a better time. Yes! We caught fish, including some tuna and Mahi. If you’re interested in a fishing experience where the crew care as much, if not more that you catch fish then check them out. You will not be disappointed
Julie CristalRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBeautiful day on water
Custom Trips Available on May 16, 2026 • 3 adultsBoth the captain and first mate Dennis were great! Made sure we were all happy and comfortable. The fish were not as hungry as we would have liked but we reeled in a nice size Baracuda and two tasty Tuna! Lots of Bonita were biting. All in all a great day on the water.
Chris MuzziRepeat angler5.0VerifiedCapt and mate working!
8 Hour Trip on March 6, 2026 • 6 adultsI’ll tell you, i could not of had a better time with my Key West Crew. I chose Eva for her size and power, this boat didn’t disappoint. Captain Jim searched high and low for solid fish. Darren, the mate, kept us on the sticks catching and rebaiting. He seem to be working all the time, even during good conversations. After the trip we fed Fluffy, the local Goliath grouper! Wow is all I can say!!! Thanks again fellas.

We've been on multiple different fishing trips over the years. This was by far the best. Captain James and Darren couldn't have been friendlier, more knowledgeable, or more helpful. The boat is big and comfortable. Even had AC for a quick cooldown after being in the hot sun. The Mahi Mahi weren't biting (none of the boats out there were catching fish), but, no worries, they had a backup plan for Yellowtail. I would absolutely recommend the Eva Marie!
thanks Ben , we will get you back out there

A wonderful day fishing with my family of four. we did the 5 hour trip and caught multiple Mahi Mahi and Bonita fish. We also had a 7-8 foot sail fish on the line but were unable to bring it in. Right at the end we caught a Barracuda! My 13 year old was estatic. Captain James and Darren were exceptional. They were flexible and allowed us to help on the boat while teaching us why we were doing the tasks. They made it clear we did not have to help, but my family likes to pitch in! They also cleaned the fish and recommended the best spots to have our fish cooled locally. I would 100% recommend the Eva Marie to anyone and everyone wanting ro fish in Key West.
