I talked to Captain Neil the day before our trip and upon learning more about what we were hoping for, he informed me that ourbooked trip to the backcountry might not be the best bet for us. He had just fished it and the bite was off some so we mutually decided to pivot to his other boat, a well-equipped bay boat and we went a few miles offshore. We got on the fish at several locations and caught multiple species including some good meat fish. Captain Neil is laid back and just seemed to really care that we were having a good fishing experience. He had really nice Penn reels that were like new and he taught us some things we will definitely be using on our own trips back at the Texas coast. On our next trip we will definitely book with him and we will get in a backcountry trip.

Captain Neil was great, he was knowledgeable, accommodating, and went the extra mile (literally and figuratively) to deliver a half day of fishing that was the highlight of my son and I’s vacation. Our general idea ahead of time was that we’d like to catch some snapper for dinner, and maybe a shark for some excitement, and despite challenging water conditions (water was calm, just not ideal temperature, etc) he made adjustments on the fly to keep us on fish the whole time, and the pictures speak to our results. We had a fantastic time, and plan to return on our next trip. Captain Neil knows his stuff, and was patient, and welcoming.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Spending the last two days with my 10 yr old son on Neill’s boat was an absolute top-tier experience. Neill is the definition of professional, hard-working, dialed in, and fully committed to making sure everyone has an incredible time on the water. His knowledge of the area is unreal, and it shows in how effortlessly he puts you on fish.

The variety of fish we caught over the two days was impressive, and every spot we hit felt intentional and well thought out.

If you’re looking for someone who truly knows these waters, hustles all day, and delivers an unforgettable fishing experience, Neill is your guy. Can’t recommend him enough and can’t wait to come back.

We had a different charter cancel on us rhe noght prior to our trip. We flew over a thousand miles for a weekend of fishing. at 5:30 PM we booked with 24/7 for the next morning. Captian Neil was ready to go when we got to the dock and had a great morning. We will definitelt be back!

We had a great experience with 24/7 Fishing Charter and Captain Neil in Key West, Florida. Captain Neil was knowledgeable, professional, and made the trip a lot of fun from start to finish. We caught two huge 80 lb tarpon, which made the day unforgettable! Overall, it was an amazing fishing trip and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great charter experience in Key West.
