    Great Captain!

    3 hour fish and explore • 2 adults • 1 child

    Captain Sean was great to hang out with. I was with my 11 year old son and he put him on the fish. Maxx caught a 42” barracuda and a few decent sized jacks. We didn’t get the trophy tarpon but that’s fishin’!

    Loved fishing the flats

    3 hour fish and explore • 2 adults

    Sean was an awesome guide and my son and I had a great time. It was my first time fiahing the flats. It was just as much fun as offshore without the sea sickness, a closer round trip and better views.

    Capt. Sean saved our trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Great morning fishing with Captain Sean we came down to Key West had two charters planned bad weather canceled both. Got a hold of Sean told him we had a few hours Monday morning. He took us out early. I don’t think I’ve ever caught that many fish in the first two hours we were out. Very knowledgeable nice guy. We had a great time. Definitely use him again.

    The day we fished was a cold front that came in and a bit windy, didn't see many other boats out but we went. Sean did everything he could to get us on some fish. He listened to what species we wanted to target and I feel he did his best. Boat was clean, equipment was in good shape and he knows fishing. Overall caught 6 different species. Highly recommend Sean as a guide!

    Capt. Sean did a great job locating and staying with the fish. The Tarpon were a little finicky but eventually they turned on and the action started.

    We fished for three consecutive days and the wind was blowing the whole time. The tarpon just weren’t in. Our guide worked his tail off to try to put us on fish but it was tough. We got into some bones on the second day and finally hooked a couple of tarpon in the third. All and all, a very enjoyable trip. Can’t control the weather. This is the second time I booked through fishbooker due to last minute plan changes, and both times the logistics of the trip were handled flawlessly. It was easy and everything went as planned. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Thanks guys.

    Sean was handsdown the best! From the moment we arrived to the dock sean treated my husband and I like we were family. He welcomed us with open arms and helped us every step along the way. Sean made our experience on the water so memorable that when we come back, we only want to fish with him! He took us to the most remarkable spots and made so worth while. We will definitely be back to fish with him.

    We had such a fun trip. Landed my first tarpon and the biggest fish of my life. Sean is great, super knowledgeable about the area. Such a fun guide!!
