Finders Keepers Charters 

Our family had an amazing time out on the water with Captain Kevin! From the moment we stepped on the boat, he made us feel welcomed and comfortable. He was extremely knowledgeable, easygoing, and worked hard the entire trip to make sure we had a great experience and stayed on the fish. What really stood out was how patient and great he was with the kids. He took the time to help them, kept them engaged, and made sure they were having fun the entire trip. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and cares about giving families a memorable experience. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and everything was organized and professional. We caught fish, laughed a lot, and made memories that we’ll be talking about for years. If you’re looking for an awesome fishing charter with someone who is professional, personable, and fantastic with families, I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Kevin. We’ll definitely be back!

We went out on March 28th, and from the moment we got set up on the spot, it was non-stop action. Capt. Kevin was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire trip. His communication beforehand was top-notch—he made sure we understood conditions, limitations, and what species we could realistically expect to catch, which we really appreciated. Going into the trip, we were hoping to catch grouper, mangrove snapper, mutton snapper, tripletail, and maybe even try for some snook on the way back in. While we didn’t land the tripletail or snook, we caught just about everything else—and then some. In addition to our target species, we also pulled in speckled seatrout and Spanish mackerel, and even hooked into two sharks (a “lemon pepper stepper,” as Nadiyah calls it, and a blacktip), both around 10 feet. Even though sharks weren’t what we were after, it definitely added to the excitement—especially on light tackle. Capt. Kevin went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable the entire time, even offering his own jacket on a chilly morning. This charter is a must-book. If you’re looking for great action, a knowledgeable captain, and the chance to bring fish home, this is the trip to take.

Capt Kevin Trahan, Excellent Captain and guide. I booked a trip for my sons visit with his family. Originally planned for Sunday but as we closer to our trip, i realized that Saturday would be better as it would be 80 and sunny vs 60s and rain. Our son traveled from snowy Massachusetts so he would enjoy a day in the sun. The Cap did a fantastic job as finding several holes to enjoy the thrill of a catch two 24" Red and Drum fish! He knew how to manover his boat and tought us how to cast and catch those fish. I will highly recommend Captain Kevin.

Capt Kevin took our family of 6 on their first fishing excursion. We had a blast! He was super efficient at keeping all the lines baited and in the water. We caught a variety of fish, stopping at different locations. Capt Kevin was knowledgeable, explaining the different types of fish and was very sensitive to persevering the ecosystem. He held good conversation with clean humor. We took our caught to a local restaurant and had them prepare it for us. What a fun experience!!!!

Captain Kevin worked incredibly hard the entire trip and did an outstanding job putting us on fish. You can tell he really knows his stuff—his knowledge of the area and fishing techniques made a big difference. On top of that, he kept things fun with his great sense of humor, which made the experience even better. If you’re looking for a captain who is hardworking, knowledgeable, and entertaining, I highly recommend Captain Kevin!
