Folklure Charters 

My father in law and I asked for something more than just small yellow tails and Capt Frank put us on some really nice late season grouper. His boat and gear are top notch and well taken care of. He is very knowledgeable and will tell you what is in season and what can be caught. He also gives you the freedom to fish the way you want or will cater to how you want to be taken care of. I can not say enough about Folklure Charters and what a great first experience in the lower keys we had. If you are coming down here and are searching for a nice boat, a very good and hard working captain, and want to catch quality fish, this is the charter you want. Worth every penny. As a kicker, we did the hook and cook at Tonios. It is where you get picked up and dropped off. We just walked in with our fish, chose 3 different ways for it to be cooked and it was amazing. We had nearly 8 pounds of fillets and 6 people. It cost $89 to feed everyone....it was our bar bill that raised the cost. Can not wait to come back and fish with Capt Frank again.

Worked hard for a few tails early morning then headed offshore looking for dolphin. They didn’t come easy either but Frank was a professional and kept at it until we loaded up on some schoolies. Would recommend Frank for a solid, safe and professional charter.

Captain Frank was very professional, engaging, polite and put on us quite a few fish! We got into mahi-mahi within an hour, but when it slowed, he was willing to burn alot more gas at full speed ( twin 350s) for us to to chase birds or go out even further in pursuit of more fish, and we found more further offshore! I am a Dad and had 3 teenagers, all of which had a great time! Would definitely book again, Ed

My family and I had an unforgettable day out on the ocean with Captain Frank Betz and 1st mate Sean! We spent the day fighting fish all while seeing a shark, sea turtle, eel and dolphins! These guys know where the fish are at and know how to catch them!!! I've never come across a better Captain. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Captain Frank and first mate Sean were amazing. They made sure we had an excellent trip and went above and beyond to ensure we caught fish. They cleaned our catch for us and even recommended a local spot that cooked our catch and it was amazing. I would definitely recommend using them if you are looking to do some fishing in the Florida keys. We will definitely use them again when we come back.

My 16 year old daughter and I had an excellent trip with Captain Frank and his mate Shawn. Folklure Charters is a top notch operation! The boat is well maintained, clean, dry ridding, smooth and fast. Rods and and tackle were all in very good condition, great quality, well organized and ready to fish. We arrived early at the dock and the boat was ready to go fishing. The bite was slow in the morning, but this did not discourage the Captain and he kept running (much further than the other charters) until we found the fish. Most of the numerous dolphin we caught were small but we did get some keepers. Captain Frank was not satisfied with the catch so fished most of the way back in until we found some tuna! The Captain and Mate are great people and I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for a fun time on the water.

The day started off slow but the captain never stopped moving and working to get use on some fish which didn’t take long. The captain worked hard once we got on the fish and he never stopped. The boat was nice and clean and all the gear was great. The captain was very helpful and had loads of tips and tricks. Would definitely recommend and would use agin.
