Matthew Breiner
New York, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedGreat Birthday and 10th Anniversary Trip!
6 Hour Trip Am • 2 adultsI was nervous to go fishing but they made it one of my favorite experiences on Key West! Captain Chris and Corey were beyond helpful, informative, and kept everything pristine. The boat was absolutely beautiful we were riding in style it felt as if we were Kings and Queens for the day! i mean what more could you ask for? On top of all that, we caught some hard fighting and good sized black fin tuna and wahoo and they fileted it up perfectly for us at the dock where we got to feed tarpon the scraps. These guys even went the extra mile to provide us with some ice and a recommendation on a restaurant nearby that would cook the fish up for us into a nice 3 course dinner! We can’t wait to go back!! 11/10 highly recommend!!

4 Hour Trip (AM) • 5 adults • 2 childrenFor us - a familiy of five - this was the first offshore fishing trip. We did not really now what to expect and trusted the excellent reviews of other guests. Our experience surpassed everything we could have hoped for. Captain Chris and especially his mate Cory were great with the kids (13,11,9) and helped them and us parents to have a great fishing experience. Each member of our family catched at least two fish, most remarkable was our catch of a large Wahoo. The Wahoo was perfectly fileted and baged. We had a wonderful dinner (grilled) and snack (sashimi style) out of it for the next two days... Thank you for that great and unforgetable experience!

Timothy OlsonArizona, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedAll Around Fantastic Trip
8 Hour Trip • 2 adultsWe had a teriffic trip with Chris and Cory. 12 Mahi and a sailfish, which was quite an unexpected experience. The boat has one of the best layouts we’ve seen over the course of many charters in the Keys. Tackle was in great shape and Cory worked tirelessly to keep lines in the water and to get fish into the boat. We highly recommend this charter!
