Kenzi Boats 

The legend Chef Strimple, Bellowed out from his chest, “man the bait lines, watch for schools of bait fish. Make sure you’re consistent when you’re into the fish. Don’t lose the momentum. If you want a CHANCE at that trophy fish, you have to catch what they like. You have to put in the work.” All I could think of in reply at that moment was, “Yes Chef”, I do want that fish, I do want my kids to see the process, I do want THAT chance at catching something awesome. These are the sounds when on a charter that I want to hear. Voices echoing over the waves movement. Lines dragging and planers diving. Teaching about what to look for, what to pay attention too.”how to fish in the environment you’re in. Chef Strimple is a man that if he was in the kitchen would have that title. He is a chef of his environment. I appreciate the time, energy, and genuine caring nature of his personality. He want you to catch, he wants you to be successful, but also be mindful. If you do than you will come back with one Hell of a fish story. Q, Gabe and I thank you Chef and I look forward to seeing you again.

We took a 6 hour charter with Kenzi Boats. We live in the area and knowingly chartered during the low season when fishing is certainly not at peak so our expectations were not to catch a lot of fish. Captain Ken is a thoughtful, knowledgeable and capable fishing guide. He showed up prepared to put us onto fish. To start the day off, we enjoyed the experience of casting to catch bait fish, which were kept in a live well on board the charter for fishing specific fish/locations. Captain Ken also provided an ample supply of live shrimp for baiting and catching Indian River and Atlantic coastal fish. All the gear and equipment necessary for success was provided by Captain Ken and aboard the boat and ready to begin fishing when we arrived. It was refreshing to have a trip that did not entail a ton of preparation beforehand. We simply brought snacks and water and showed up to fish and learn from the expert. Captain Ken shared a wealth of valuable information and life experience to help us cast and catch our own fish in various environments. He demonstrated various casting and catching techniques that allowed us a successful fishing trip that exceeded our expectations. It was a fun-filled day learning, catching, releasing and keeping the best fish for our freezer. We will book with Kenzi Boats for future charters, making Kenzi Boats and Captain Ken our go to charter provider. Thank You Again Captain Ken!

Took a four hour morning trip with Captain Ken, He is very friendly, professional, and experienced fisherman. Took my son and I off the beaten path, We started catching fish first thing when he stopped and turned on the trolling motor. He provided multiple rods some with Lures and some with floaters. We caught fish with both sets. I have been on numerous charters and have always heard about how they were biting yesterday. THIS will be one that he can talk about How they were biting. Highly Recommended and will use him again next time we are in the area. As a bonus we had a Manatee following the boat, and on the return trip to the dock, a couple of Dolphin Pods appeared and he stopped so we could take some Pictures and watch them.

We had the best time on Captain Ken’s Fishing Charter! I would highly recommend him. He made sure we felt comfortable and stayed hydrated. He had all the right gear and equipment for a safe and extremely fun day on the water. If you are looking to enjoy the Florida coast and catch some awesome fish, he’s the man. We can’t wait to take our next trip with him and look forward to the sunset cruise, tubing and island hopping with him. Super nice guy and very knowledgeable.

Ken is an amazing captain and fisherman. An experience you won’t forget. Out of all the charters we’ve done this has been our favorite. We got to help setup and run the rods vs standing there and watching. Would definitely go out with him again. Knocked a bucket list fish off our list too! (Mahi Mahi)
