We booked the sunset tarpon trip hoping to snag a tarpon. We didn’t get a tarpon, but we had an amazing time. Captain Chris was an excellent, knowledgeable guide. My boyfriend and I are very different skill levels and he worked very well with both of us. He made sure we both caught fish and took us to several different locations to ensure we had the best time possible. I’m on the beginning side of the spectrum and he actually taught me a lot, was super patient with me, and never made me feel like a dummy. The equipment was all in good working order. The boat was the perfect size for the 2 of us. He really tried to get us a tarpon, too, which we really appreciate his effort. He was such a great guy! We would definitely book this charter again.

Our half day near shore trip with Captain JJ was an excellent time. He was an incredible Captain; teaching us the ways in order to catch Yellow Jacks, coaching us when needed so we could avoid the sharks getting into our catch, and pitching the bait in as one was being reeled in order to get another hook up. It was just me and my wife he was very pleasant and accommodating. Telling us some Key West stories between wrecks. He was efficient going between sites and anchoring down; I’ve been on other trips when the Captain and mate had to reset the anchor a few times which takes time away from fishing and a half day of fishing goes quick. It was also just him doing all the work. We choose the half day because we didn’t have much time down here and didn’t want to spend a whole day out fishing which can be exhausting if you have never done it before. We got into a small frenzy of fish at our second site but one on our memorable moments is when I got my fish one and got it close to the boat you can see the shark chasing the yellow jack and getting ready to eat it then I remembered what Capt. JJ told me to do is try to swing the rod left to right to make the shark miss which worked out really well! The shark was splashing all over next to the boat and swung that fish right over and into the boat. I highly recommend getting you fish cooked at Hurricane Hole Marina which is where you would start and end your trip. The food was fantastic and the fish was delicious. In my experience my marinas that have a restaurant or grill located at the docks usually know how to cook the fish very well and we weren’t disappointed. I know a few people who are coming down soon and will be recommending Capt JJ.

My girlfriend (turned Fiancé on our vacation) visited the Keys for the first time and decided to book a fishing charter. We found Easy Does It charters on Fishing Booker and the process couldn’t have been easier. They had good solid reviews, multiple trip options and easy payment. Capt. John Jackson communicated with us right after booking and days before our trip to get us important information and get a sense of our experience and type of fishing we wanted to do. The day of our trip was a beautiful day and we met with Capt. Morgan who would be taking us out for the day. While not a chatty character, Capt. Morgan was friendly and helpful and knows fishing and the waters off the Keys like you couldn’t believe. We discussed what kind of fishing options we had and decided to fish some wrecks in the Gulf at his recommendation looking for some good fighting fish. We were not disappointed! It was a great day of fishing and while we never did land a cobia or permit on the boat, we did hook into several and enjoyed the fight! We did land several other fish and sharks and overall had a great day. I would highly recommend Easy Does It!

Awesome time!!  From the moment we walked on the boardwalk to meet Captain JJ until we left after eating our catch of the day!  Captain JJ was outgoing, informative and just a great guy.  We are from Minnesota with little fishing experience and our group had Captain JJ running all over - helping with casting, getting hooks unstuck, baiting and bring in our fish/shark.  Yes, I said shark!!!  That’s an experience which is thrilling and exciting!  We highly recommend Easy Does It for your fishing experience in Key West, Florida!  You won’t be disappointed.

First day was going to be a 3/4 day but it got too windy. Still a great day. Sorry didn’t get pictures of the 8 foot nurf shark. The second day I didn’t think could top the first, but it did. Fought that 150 lbs. tarpon for hour and ten minutes. Through two anchor ropes, three bow cuts, and we traveled a mile in a half from where we started. Only a half mile as the crow flies. Steve was awesome and know his waters. We loved every minute. I got to fish, and the wife got to sun bath. Thank you so much for the memories.
