Catchin In The Keys Charters 

**Great Private Fishing Charter! 🎣** We had a fantastic time fishing with Captain Damian in Key Largo! We’ve been on several party fishing boats before where we did a lot of fishing but not much catching. This trip was completely different! Damian knew all the right spots, kept our hooks baited, and kept us catching fish throughout the trip. We had a big one get away when a barracuda snatched half of it off the line—but that just made for a great fishing story! The boat was nice, and the location at JD Outdoor Adventures was great. At the end, Damian filleted our catch right at the dock, and we got to watch nurse sharks come in for the scraps. The highlight was Damian helping our son reel in a **tarpon**! Such a memorable experience for our family. We highly recommend Captain Damian and would definitely fish with him again!

Damian was first class in every aspect. His boat was new and in great condition, he was welcoming and friendly, and he provided exceptional service throughout the entire trip. We did the 4-hour trip out to the reef beds and he had us on fish almost the entire time. I have three boys (ages 19-10) and they all three had a blast, saying, “it was the best trip ever.”. We caught snapper, hogfish, porgies, and jacks. My youngest son even hooked a mackerel and fought it for a few minutes before it cut the line. We had barracuda on the hook on two separate occasions so there was plenty of activity for the entire trip. We will definitely come fishing here again, but I will never use another captain other than Damian. I have neen on chartered trips before, and “Catching in the Keys” is on a different level of service. Do yourself a favor and book with them.

My friend and our two 13 year old sons booked a 4 hour trip with Captain Damian at “Catchin In The Keys”. It was a great day. Captian Damian served us magnificently from the beggining of our trip until the end. We brought home 23 fish and threw back about 15. Capt Damian kept each line baited and in the water as much as possible. He also interacted intentionally with our sons - which was very important. When I asked my son- “How did you like the trip?” He responded - “I loved it - I really liked the Captain!” Exceeeded all expectations - recommend highly!! .

We had a phenomenal fishing experience with Captain Damian. The weather was perfect, for being in the middle of winter. The fishing was exciting and fun and our captain was amazing! Captain Damian did a fantastic job putting us on fish right away. It was our first saltwater experience for my son, my brother-in-law and I to fish from a boat in the keys. Captain D took us to many great spots throughout our journey in the Everglades and every spot produced fish. We saw many species of fish including tarpon, snooks and sharks but only managed to catch snappers, jacks and baracudas, which were exciting enough for us. We also saw a manatee cow and her calf and a dolphin. Towards the end of our trip, Captain D put us on a school of giant jacks that were feeding viciously in the shallows. Knowing that we were already running out of our allotted time frame, he asked if I had anywhere to be that afternoon. Of course I said, "No". I wanted to keep on fishing. We all did! Captain D spent almost 2 extra hours beyond our alotted time frame chasing that school of giant jacks all over the flats. It was one of the most exciting fishing experiences I have ever had in my entire life and I fish a lot. Every time he maneuvered the boat to within casting distance of the school, our eyes lit up and fingers would shake with excitement. We caught as many as we could and doubled up a couple of times on those giants jacks. We tried tripling up but there was always one that got away. It was so much fun for the three of us. We had such a blast! Captain Damian created memories that will never be forgotten. I highly recommend Captain Damian and his charter for his professionalism, his experience as a fisherman and his kind and friendly demeanor. We can't wait to go fishing with him again. The free merch at the end was the icing on the cake! Thank you so much Captain D! ~ 3 Boys from Wisconsin

I took my family of four out for a 3 hr shallow reef excursion. Damian had everything we needed and was polite and professional. They all caught multiple fish including one barracuda! We finished with a little swimming and snorkeling near the last fishing spot. Overall a great morning! Would definitely be interested again!

Damian was a great capt, very professional and provided all the necessary gear plus some. We were only out for 2 hours doing nearshore fishing yet we caught so much that it took only 90 min to reel in 10 keepers! They also filleted all the fish for us without additional charge which is rare. Highly recommended, and I'd consider a return trip!

Damian took us out for 2 day trips. We reef fished both days and he put us on fish both days. He is pleasant, organized, and knowledgeable. If we didnt get bites on a site within a few minutes, he moved us to try another. We caught 7 or 8 species in all. If someone broke a line, he was right there to hand a fresh rod to keep us fishing constantly. He had our catch fileted upon return. His equipment was top notch. I would give him 6 stars if I could. I'll be back for another trip soon.

Captain Estrada was a friendly person and professional. He engaged both my boys (13&11) and was very much their vibe. My son picked him specifically. We caught plenty of fish and he even cleaned and cut them for us to take to a catch and cook. It’s a nice boat and a relaxed day. We enjoyed this very much

We had a blast on our half day trip with Damian. We caught triggerfish, grunt, snapper, and a 32in Cobia on light tackle. Exhilarating experience. Memories were made with my wife and two boys. Damian was great with the kids and made sure everyone was baited up and in the right spot. Highly reccomended!

We caught 11 keepers, including a giant Puffer. In addition, after we finished trip and docked, Damian helped my son reel in a giant Tarpon which was well over 4ft. My son was super excited! tgis was our 2nd charter with Damian, he doesn’t disappoint!
