I booked a private charter for my son and myself for his 16th birthday gift.  We told the captain that we would love to catch something big.  Capt Art took us right to a hot spot where we caught a bunch of Bonito and Dolphin.  The first mate worked his butt off.  We constantly had 6-8 lines in the water, and the fish were plentiful.  As soon as my son and I reeled one in, there was another one on.  I would guess that we landed 15-20 fish, with 6 nice keepers.  However the most exciting part was when we hooked up to a large Blue Marlin.  My son battled it for a while, and we got some spectacular views of it breaching the water.  The captain estimated it to be around 400lbs.  We didn’t land it, but my son has a story for a lifetime. One of the best days ever.  The only thing I regret is not booking the full day because the time went so fast.  HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Wild Bill!!

Thanks Captain Bill and First mate Mason for a fantastic day at sea. We had as goal to have a nice day with lots of fishes to battle with, and wow did we get just that! First mate Mason did an exellent work with keeping both lines tight and tackles in the water. You really went all in the whole time. -Great job!
Captain Bill did really know where to find the fish. To top the experience Erik managed to salvage a Throphy Wahoo!!
We can strongly recomend Wild Bill with crew for a nice fishing experience and we hope to have the opportunity to come back and go fishing with Bill and Mason sometime.
PS.. The youngster came around in the afternoon after a good sleep onboard…

Second time we have fished with Mason on Wild Bill. He works his tail off every day and absolutely loves what he does and it shows. Mason keeps the lines wet and keeps hustling to get fish on the lines. Today was not just another charter, it was a chance to make memories with my family and Mason delivered once again. I highly recommend fishing with Wild Bill and Mason to anyone who wants to fish with a dedicated and hardworking Captain and Mate. Thank you for another great fishing trip!

Wild Bill Charters is the BEST on Key West. We have fished with Wild Bill - Captain Art and Mate Mason once and Captain Bill and Mate Mason twice during the last year. All three trips were top notch. We had fun, caught great fish, landed trophy fish and made memories that will last forever. I highly recommend this charter to everyone.

More fish better? Sure but, that’s why it’s called “fishing”!

Personable crew, multiple types and rigs in the water at all times. Open cabin made fit more pleasant as we (guests) were all able to easily interact. Great Day!

Go Art and Mason!
