Captain Eric Grancourt's journey began in Colorado many moons ago. Having explored the Rocky Mountains and the mile high city of Denver and Boulder, Eric found a renewing warmth in Key West. The cold winters spent hiking and snowboarding lost their appeal, and he traded his Colorado office suits in for wetsuits. Eric dove into the world of open waters, sea turtles, and schools of bottlenose dolphin. He worked as a divemaster and later became a captain for Captain's Corner Dive Shop. In the winter of 2011, Eric purchased his own boat – the rest is history.

    Perfect day in imperfect conditions!

    6 Hour Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    Eric was an excellent Captain for our fishing trip. He was great with our two teenage girls that wanted to fish, but didn’t want to touch the bait! He kept them baited and explained how to catch the fish and was very patient with us all. We were fishing in the days after the TS Debby weather and Eric helped us craft our trip to accommodate the rough weather conditions and the girls caught several fish. When he could tell the kids were “fished out” he suggested we go search for dolphins. We found a beautiful pod of about six dolphins with a baby which was an amazing way to end our trip that day! We’d definitely use Laid Back Key West Charters again when in Key West and would recommend him to everyone!

    Fun day!!

    6 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    6 hour day of fishing! Ray was always busy putting on bait or re-rigging so there was no interruption with our fishing experience. We caught plenty yellowtail snapper, couple cobias, and a little shark. Great day!

    Family day trip

    6 Hour Trip • 6 adults

    Captain Eric was excellent ! We had so fun! My husband and I, our two daughters and their husbands went out for a day of fishing, snorkeling and sand bar hopping. We managed to get in fishing and the sand bars, but the moon jellies had other plans so no snorkeling. But plenty of laughs and great memories were made! I would highly recommend!!!! What a great day!!!!!! ❤️Roop Family

    May fishing trip

    5 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    Our captain was awesome. Real nice and he accommodated my family wishes. He customized to our needs and made it enjoyable for all. The fish were not biting but he kept trying. Sometimes you win sometimes you don’t. That’s why it’s called fishing. If you want a big box fishing charter this is not for you. If you like a laid back adventure this is for you. Highly revommend

    Great day on the water! Started off by trying to catch a tarpon with unfortunately no luck but saw plenty and was still fun. Saw some dolphin close then went to beautiful sandbar with family which was an amazing time swimming and snorkeling if beautiful water. Then went to reef and caught some very tasty yellow jacks for dinner which capt cleaned! Went around entire island by the end of trip and capt was great with kids. Highly recommend.
