Made our day!
Custom Trips Available on August 1, 20262 adults

Captain 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.

Top notch Key West family fishing trip!
Custom Trips Available on July 25, 20264 adults

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.

Family friendly, grateful trip.
4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 14, 20262 adults4 children

We 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!
