Born and raised in Key West, Captain Armani has had a rod in his hand before he could walk. Fishing is part of the culture down here, he's spent his whole life on the water. This passion drove him to getting his captain's license, pursuing a career in guided fishing charters. Fishing never gets old for him, and taking clients out on the waters he grew up on is what truly makes him happy. Being able to give them an unforgettable experience is what he strives for.

2 hour trip with Captain Armani

VERIFIED

What a beautiful day for my son to remember forever. Captain Armani took us 15 minutes out to a wonderful location. My son and I were catching fish within 10 minutes of our arrival. Captain Armani was showing my son all of best fishing techniques and made sure we always had bait on the hook. After the fish got full off the chum in that location we moved over to another location and were catching fish within 5 minutes of our arrival. Captain Armani is our official Key West fishing charter....
