- Background
- I have loved fishing my entire life.. I am from Long Island New York where I learned how to fish the northeast canyons. I became interested in the Florida Keys when I was in my late teens. As an adult I came every winter to learn how to fish here. I currently have been running fishing boats in the keys for almost 8 years.
- Techniques
- I love to live bait Wahoos and kingfish. I sailfish most everyday at some point.. trolling is during the summer and spring months. Our live bait season is from October to April... using mostly ballyhoo and cigar minows.

We got a slight late start due to traffic, but once we got going it was a wonderful time. Caught snapper to eat for dinner, and my wife even brought a 6 foot nurse shark up to the boat! The captain and mate were very knowledgeable, as well as personable. Recommended if you make it to Islamorada!

The whole family went on the fishing adventure with Capt. Claude and First mate Joe. The day started slow But they kept trying different techniques until we found the fish. they worked hard to make sure we had a great time. They were able to put us on Jack, Dolphin, Wahoo, Snapper, and triple tail! They even cleaned a few of our catch for dinner.
I would highly recommend them to anyone who is interested.
Sincerely,
Scott

We did an evening trip with Claude and Joe and had a great time. The fishing “I mean catching” was so fun! Everyone on the boat caught enough fish to feed a party of eight - which we had fresh the next day! To top it off my brother caught a huge shark on the way back in! The boat was clean and the crew is very knowledgeable about the fishing in this area. We will definitely book again!

It was tough conditions and glad we could catch you guys some good snappers and a grouper to throw back!

Great time fishing with these guys. This crew worked hard & even extended our trip free of charge. We got more than we paid for. I suggest booking Key Largo offshore fishing with the Costa Morada Charter & especially the May-September time frame. Thanks Cpt Claude & Bobby!

We had an awesome time with Capt. Tristram and 1st Mate Richie. Both of them were very professional, knowledgeable, and fun. They had us catching fish in no time, we literally were catching fish as quickly as you could get the line out. In total, we caught 26 nice size yellowfin snappers and 2 barracudas. My 2 boys loved it! We plan to come back next year and we’ll definitely be planning a trip with them.

Absolutely kid friendly. More than we expected and had an Awesome Experience. Both the boys had an awesome time with Claude, Oscar and Jaden. As parents we felt safe and confident they had everything in control as we had never done this before and it turned out to be relaxing and one in a lifetime memory’s we will never forget. Thanks.

I give 100 off on a full day booking as i emailed you several weeks ago. Its 50 off a half day and its 25 on my evening reef/shark trips. I worked very hard to catch the fish you guys were lucky to catch. As we caught a full snapper limit in a three hour trip.

The captain & mate put us on fish when they were not biting, only went for a few hours but caught fish.
