25+ reviews
Captain Yoan Alvarez was born in Cuba in 1976 and has over 30 years of fishing experience. Having first learned to fish with his grandparents, who took him to the local ponds in Cuba to fish for Tilapia with a stick and some string, he has always been on the search for new fishing adventures. This passion brought him to Florida in 2002, and he hasn't looked back since. With well over a decade of experience studying, fishing, and succeeding in these waters, he is now a well-known and respected captain both locally and nationwide, and his several large sponsors are proof of his success and talent. What makes him unique as a charter captain is his strong attention to detail and his desire and ability to meet the needs of his clients.

    Captain Álvarez was excellent; he was professional, on-time, great with my kids and super educated about fishing. Me and my three kids had a blast. We caught about 20 fish, and it was so much fun and informative. My son who is 11 was extremely excited and my girls also had a good time. They all wanted to stay longer. Captain Álvarez took his time, was super patient, and just went out of his way to make sure we were happy and satisfied. I would strongly recommend. Cost was reasonable and very fair. We will surely be using him again next time we come to Miami.

    Full day freshwater with Captain Yoan

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    Great day with Captain Yoan! The boat was beautiful and clean and nicely equipped. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time, including communicating with us before the trip to talk about our options and expectations. Since I was booking as a surprise for my husband, it put my mind at ease that I made the right choice. Besides catching a ton of fish, it was great to spend time with someone who not only had professional expertise but clearly loves what he does. Capt Yoan is personable, knowledgeable, and fun! I would book again 100%.

    Best Day of Fishing I Ever Had!

    Half Day Trip • 1 adult

    Flew down to Key Largo, FL as a last minute weekend vacation and I knew I wanted to fill one of my mornings with a private charter to catch Peacock Bass. I ended up messaging Captain Yoan. I told him I had a small window to book something and he accommodated me x10. He was flexible on the time and drove closer to me so I could grab breakfast before I checked out of my resort. He is an absolute professional and has a level of experience that is unmatched, but very down to earth and patient which made me feel like we were long time friends. This was hands down my best day of fishing…caught a 6.3lb peacock bass and 25+ others in a 4hr half day trip. No need to look anywhere else, seriously…this is the whole package experience!

Fall arrives with easterly winds blowing. This brings Mahi Mahi closer to the shore. Sailfish appear on the trail of schools of mullet that congregate over nearshore reefs.
