    What a GREAT experience!!

    3/4 Day Trip • 5 adults • 3 children

    Our family had an incredible 6-hour deep sea fishing trip! The captain and crew were outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help, making the experience enjoyable for everyone. The highlight of the trip was catching some beautiful mahi-mahi! The action kept us excited, and reeling in those fish made for unforgettable family memories. The crew was patient, encouraging, and made sure everyone had a chance to be part of the fun. We had an amazing time, caught great mahi-mahi, and made memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun day on the water with family or friends!

    Reported catch:

    Captain Mike is the master!!!

    Half Day Trip • 1 adult

    Captain Mike of Helm fishing and first mate Kevin took me out for my best day fishing EVER! I shared with them that have been hoping for an opportunity to catch a sailfish for 9 years, and Captain Mike and first mate Kevin REALLY DELIVERED!!! I caught 3 back to back and the largest was 71 inches!!! We also saw an amazing large pod of spotted dolphins! Captain Mike knows his profession well! I found my Captain!!! It’s pretty flipping cool to be able to say to a captain and crew that you want to catch a specific fish and then have it be a trifecta!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!! I will cherish this memory forever! Captain Mike also is just a really exceptional kinda human and I not only have found my Captain, but have also made a lifelong friend!😃👍❤️🎣 🥳

    Fantastic way to catch lunch

    3/4 Day Trip • 2 adults

    I did a six hour tour with Captain Mike and Mate Kevin. It was awesome. Complete pros even in the choppiest of waters. It took a while but I caught three mahi mahi and a bonus barracuda. I highly recommend for the beginner to the advanced - no better way to spend a day in Key West!

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Great Barracuda

What's biting with The Helm Sportfishing in Key West

The weather cools and the crowds thin. This is the best time of year to score a Slam on the flats. The weather can be unpredictable with hurricanes, but the fishing makes it worth while.
