Great crew and equipment for big fish deep sea fishing

6 Hour Trip on May 28, 2026 • 2 adults • 3 children

We 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.

Awesome trip

8 Hour Trip on November 13, 2025 • 1 adult

Captain 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.

Glad to hear of your successful trip, minus the bill fish. We hope if your travles bring you back down you will give us a chance to put you on your billfish! Thank you for taking time to give us a good review!

Beautiful day on water

Custom Trips Available on May 16, 2026 • 3 adults

Both 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.

Capt and mate working!

8 Hour Trip on March 6, 2026 • 6 adults

I’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.

Great Crew, Great Experience

6 Hour Trip on October 15, 2025 • 2 adults

My 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
