First, we really appreciated Capt. Solomon asking our goals and finding the best spot to fish.  He also asked if we wanted size or action.  Our teenage boys wanted size, so Solomon setup us up to fish for Bull shark.  He and Alex were great at showing the guys how everything works, talking fish, gear, technique, etc.  And it was great conversation while waiting for a bite.  We only had a few bites (going for size) and ended up landing a 9ft bull shark!  Everyone got to take a turn at the reel and really enjoyed the evening.  A great trip, especially for those that don’t want to spend all day in the sun!  10/10, definitely recommend.

Highly Recommended – Dream Shark Fishing Trip with Captain Solomon!
We had an absolutely fantastic shark fishing trip with Captain Solomon in the Florida Keys! From the very beginning, his communication was excellent — quick responses and clear details that made booking easy and stress-free.
Captain Solomon and his crew showed up right on time with top-notch gear and a great attitude. They were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and especially patient with our kids, which made the whole experience even better. They really know how to make everyone feel comfortable and excited.
We hooked several sharks and successfully landed a beautiful bull shark — an unforgettable moment for the whole family! Everything about the trip exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a professional, fun, and family-friendly shark fishing charter in the Florida Keys, book with Captain Solomon — you won’t be disappointed!

We booked the 5-hour shark fishing excursion looking to mix things up on our annual Florida vacation—and it absolutely delivered. Our group of 8 included 4 kids (ages 8–15), so we went in with realistic expectations knowing fishing isn’t always guaranteed… but we were definitely hoping for at least one shark.

After a few missed bites, things got real. Sol and Canyon jumped in to guide us through reeling in not one, but TWO hammerhead sharks at the same time. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, we pulled in a third hammerhead shortly after. It took about 15–20 minutes of intense reeling, switching hands, and full group effort—it was chaotic in the best way possible and such a rush.

The beginning of the excursion was super laid back while we waited for bites. The kids stayed entertained building sandcastles, playing in the water, and tossing a football around, while the adults relaxed, had a few drinks, and took in an incredible sunset. It really felt like the perfect mix of beach day + adventure.

A few tips: bring a cooler with snacks and drinks, pack chairs if you prefer something specific, and definitely bring activities for kids during the slower periods. Also, it gets cooler in the evening, so don’t forget a sweatshirt or light jacket.

Overall, this was a 5/5 experience. Solomon and Canyon were friendly, knowledgeable, and completely dialed in when the action started. If you’re thinking about doing this—do it! And make sure your phone is charged… you’re going to want video proof of this kind of memory.

I was itching to add some adventure to our typical spring break vacation.  The rest of my large family, (20 people split over 3 condos) wasn’t so sure but I decided to book an off-shore Shark fishing trip.  20 years worth of Spring Breaks in Tampa and this was BY FAR the most exciting and fun of all.  Captain Solomon was awesome at communicating, letting me know what to expect, and flexible.  He came to us and setup on the beach in front of our Condo!  The whole family had a blast, but almost all went inside after 11:00pm to go to sleep.  At midnight the line took off and my boys and I fought the shark for 20 plus minutes. By the time we landed it, the rest of the family had run down and go to get in on all the fun.  I would 100% recommend Captain Solomon as he made it such an incredible experience.  I’ve been telling shark stories non-stop because everyone thought it was an April Fool’s joke.  Nope, this is the real deal.  Do yourself a favor and throw some adventure into your vacations, you won’t regret it!

We didn’t land a shark this time—but honestly, we still had an awesome experience! A boat ended up running through and taking out our lines, which was out of anyone’s control, but Solomon and Canyon handled everything like pros.

They were knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole trip fun from start to finish. Even without the big catch, they kept the energy up and made sure we still enjoyed every minute.

If you’re looking for a great time and a crew that truly cares about your experience, I’d absolutely recommend fishing with them. We’ll definitely be back to try again! 🦈🎣
