Had a great time!
1/2 day trip on March 25, 20243 adults

Big thanks guys! We had a great time and it was blast! You were both very professional and knew how to get us set up and still have a great time and it made for a fun day! I looked at my watch and we were already 3 hours in, time flew much too quickly, thanks for getting us on a bunch of fish and we will definitely look you up if we get back.

This trip gets an A-
1/2 day trip on June 11, 20216 adults

The boat we originally booked was sold, so we got on a bigger and better boat. Everything was ready upon arrival and we started our trip right away. The captain and first mate were friendly and knowledgeable. Our group was welcomed to the top story and even got a little time at the wheel. You can’t beat the views and the feel of the wind in your face. We got to choose the music and the sound system was great. There was even a bathroom and an air conditioned cabin. (The waves were intense so consider bringing Dramamine.) The captain put us right on a school of yellow tail snapper. Everyone was catching hand over fist! Our first mate and captain helped make sure everyone had bait, hooks, and took the fish off the lines. They were very patient and eager to please. Once we caught our limit, we even got to jump in the water for a quick cool down. Then, we changed course for Mahi mahi. Unfortunately, we just couldn’t find them so we headed back for the dock. Our only problem was that the next charter was already at the dock and ready to start as soon as our trip ended (noon). This meant that the crew didn’t have time to clean our fish until they finished with this next tour. That would mean our fish wouldn’t be cleaned until after 8pm but we planned to cook it for dinner. Soooooooooo...our group had to clean our own fish. Luckily, our guys have experience cleaning fish, but you might need to be sure to schedule time for cleaning. CHICKEN WING is the best!!!

Sunset fishing 4hrs
Sunset Fishing on January 25, 20222 adults

We had a great time fishing with Capt Joel and 1st Mate Ed. We caught our limit of Yellowtail Snapper, plus some Mackerel, a Rainbow Runner, and a big out of season Grouper that we released. The guys were very laid back but professional. They make it look easy like only years of experience can. 5 stars!

Sunset Fishing, on 42' See Vee
Sunset Fishing on May 18, 20222 adults

We were switched to a 42 foot See Vee from the 38 Fountain due to mechanical issues, however we had a great time anyway. Caught in excess of 30 Mahi, about half were too small and had to be thrown back. Even still, it was a very successful trip.

Offshore High Seas
3/4 Day Trip – Offshore on October 17, 20202 adults

Was worried the weather would keep us from going, but multi-generation Charter Captain Joel, said we would be fine. He was right, boat took the high seas well and we caught a cooler full of Tuna. My girlfriends first offshore fishing trip and she is already asking when we can come back. You will have no issues catching fish on this boat. First Mate Chris was very patient with my girl, and she got the hang of it real quick. Must book this boat if you are in the Keys and wanting to fish.

Captain Joel is on the water 300 days per year, and he loves every minute of it. This very experienced captain is a third-generation fishing captain in his family. He's a native of Florida and has traveled the world over for fish. He used to be in the death care industry for almost 20 years and focused on childhood grief issues and grief counseling. He's also a co-creator of two published kids' books. Captain Joel loves acquainting his guests with the most epic fish, which he believes are exactly where he is from – the Gulf of America and Atlantic Ocean!
