Fish On!!
3/4 Day Trip on May 28, 2026 • 4 adults
Had a great time woth Poppa Wahoo. Cpt. George was very intentive on what we wantes to catch. He first put on a slew of yellowtail snapper. And they were some large ones too. After that we headed to hunt Mahi. We found blackfin tuna instead. no issues there. Put some of them on the boat too. The first mate Ricky did a great job. Very knowledgeable woth fishing in the Keys. I would toldly recommend Poppa Wahoo for your next trip. Thank you for providing my family and I a great time and memories. Will charter them again when we come again. Fish On!!!

great boat and crew!
3/4 Day Trip on July 10, 2026 • 6 adults
larger boat (53ft), AC cabin and a wonderful crew. owner (brian) is fast to respond to questions and plans. we did catch about 10 fish. we just happened to go out on a rough day so that's the only reason it wasn't an 'amazing' trip but obviously that's outside everyone's control. in this case, the bigger boat did help some in that regard

10/10 recommend! Incredible crew, pristine boat, and unmatched service.
Full Day Trip on November 13, 2025
The boat is beautiful, clean, and features comfortable A/C and restrooms. But what sets them apart is the VIP concierge service. Arriving at 7:00 AM to find our exact coffee, drink preferences, and breakfast sandwiches already onboard was a game-changer. They take care of you from start to finish. If you’re debating which charter to choose, save yourself the time and book this one right now!
