It was a beautiful day. We had some bites top water trolling early in the day. We heard over the radio 20 boats with no fish in the boat trolling. Switched to 20-30 ft deep on down riggers with no luck over the reef around hour four. Then we fished for yellow tail. I caught a mackerel and as it came into view a barracuda latched on and ripped it in half. We used the mackerel as bait to keep the barracuda in view. The crew did all they could to get it in the boat but the pelicans were swarming... More

Captain James is a gentleman and an absolute legend in Key West. He never fails to find the fish and ensures that safety is always the priority on the vessel. Captain Darren is the highlight of the experience on the Eva Marie. He has a passion for fishing that is unmatched by any other in Key West. Darren never fails to impress and ensures that the not only the fish get on the line and on the boat but also will have you smiling and laughing from sunrise to sunset with his South African charm....

Capt. James knew I was looking for a trophy fish and he found one for us! Darren the first mate did an excellent job rigging up the poles and making sure the operation was smooth.

The boat was very comfortable and easy to get to.  The captain and mate were very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly.  We were the first boat out there and we caught several mahi mahi and even released a black grouper on the way in.  I would recommend them for charter.
