    October fishing trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) on October 7, 2026 • 4 adults

    Matt didn’t waste anytime getting us on the fish. A little choppy but well worth the experience. Had our catch for lunch at Mac’s. Fresh fish, nothing better! Loved it.

    Wonderful Fishing Experience!

    3/4 Day Trip on July 24, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Jon made sure that we had the best fishing experience! We caught so many fish, we even had a shark & a barracuda on lines at one point. I am so happy that I was able to change our 4 hour trip to 6 hours, because the fun never stopped!

    Great Trip w/ Good Times

    Half Day Trip (AM) on May 20, 2025 • 2 adults

    First time with Good Times Key West and would highly recommend the charter service. Scott was excellent as guide & captain. Scott knew where the fish were and proved that he was "that guy" who could put you on fish with us catching fish at every spot we hit. Awesome trip. Next time in Key West, go out with Good Times.

First class charter
Full Day Trip on March 20, 2026 • 3 adults

A true mark of a reliable experienced fishing charter is how well they serve their clients when the fishing and boating conditins are less than ideal. Captain Matt is an amazing boat Captain and experienced guide. We had high winds and rough seas for most of the day. Because of Captain Matts in depth knowledge of the Keys and outstanding boating skills, we managed to catch 60+ fish with 21 keepers. Myself, my wife and my son were treated like gold the whole day. I highly recommend and will book with Good Times Key West again very soon

Fun day fishing
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 18, 2026 • 2 adults

Had a great day fishing! Caught enough yellowfin snapper to have for lunch. Had a great experience with Justin he was very patient with my 15 year old son and answered all his questions. We even caught an eel which of course was released, but a fun experience. Mac’s place does a great job cooking out fresh caught fish too.

A marine mechanic by trade, the captain needed to get out of the shop. That's when he started Good Times Key West. Every day now he enjoys sharing the amazing activities and scenery that the Florida Keys backcountry has to offer. Fishing, snorkeling, sandbars, dolphin viewing, and much more.
