Step aboard Above & Below Fishing Adventures’ 32-foot SeaVee and explore the waters of Key West and the Lower Florida Keys with Captain Jose Rodriguez Sr.

Jose Sr. has spent a lifetime on the water as a commercial fisherman. He knows how to read the conditions, find productive ground, and adjust the plan when the fish have other ideas. That experience shapes every charter: a capable captain at the helm, a trip built around your group, and the kind of local knowledge that only comes from years of fishing these waters.

Reef and wreck fishing are his specialties. Spend the day working the Florida Keys reefs for Snapper and Grouper, or head to deeper structure in search of a different challenge. Offshore trips can take you after Mahi-Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, and other seasonal species. Whether you’re an experienced angler or introducing your family to fishing, Jose Sr. will tailor the trip to your interests and the conditions that day.

You’ll fish aboard a 2016 SeaVee 320B equipped with a Seakeeper stabilizer, which helps reduce the boat’s roll and makes time on the water more comfortable. It’s a serious fishing boat with an added feature your whole group can appreciate.

Above & Below is a family operation built on fishing experience and warm hospitality. Jose Sr. enjoys sharing stories, teaching guests, and giving everyone aboard a chance to be part of the action. Book a private trip with him and see the Keys through the eyes of someone who has spent his life fishing them.

Creating Memories Beyond the Catch.

I’ve spent most of my life on the water in the Florida Keys. As a commercial fisherman, I learned these waters by working them: paying attention to the tides, weather, seasons, and the small details that can make all the difference in a day of fishing. That life shaped our family, too. I raised my son, Captain Jose Jr., around boats and fishing. Today, we’re both captains with Above & Below Fishing Adventures. Jose Jr. has built his reputation chasing Swordfish, while my heart is on the reefs and wrecks. I enjoy putting guests on Yellowtail, Snapper, Grouper, and whatever else the season and conditions give us a chance to pursue. My favorite trips aren’t measured only by what ends up in the cooler. I love seeing a kid catch their first fish, helping someone learn a new technique, and watching friends and families enjoy being out on the water together. If you’ve fished your whole life, we can get straight to it. If it’s your first time, I’ll gladly show you the ropes. I captain a 32-foot SeaVee equipped with a Seakeeper stabilizer, giving guests a more comfortable day aboard. Whether we leave from the Lower Keys or the Key West area, my goal is the same: work hard, take good care of your crew, and share the Keys with you the way I know them.
