  A Must Do Again!

  3/4 Day Trip on September 22, 2026 • 2 adults

  My husband and I went on a six hour tour. Maryann, the captain was very knowledgeable about the waters and really tried diligently to find fish for us to catch. Maryann was very personal and courteous. Jayson the mate was outstanding. He was ready and willing to assist. Jayson, was very knowledgeable and courteous. We caught two large barracudas, tuna, yellowtail reds, and a spade fish. Even though some had to be returned to the water, the day of fishing was a success because of the amazing captain and mate being very patient and persistent.

  5-Star Review for Boa Vida Charters ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  3/4 Day Trip on July 14, 2026 • 3 adults

  We had an absolute A+ experience with Boa Vida Charters yesterday — honestly, the best fishing charter we’ve ever done! Our goal was simple: catch some Mahi. We ended up with an incredible day, pulling in about 15 fish total, including 6 beautiful Mahi, a Barracuda, a Bonita, and several others. The action was nonstop and so much fun. Captain Mary Ann and First Mate Shaun were outstanding. They’re both incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely fun to be around. They worked seamlessly together and made sure we had the best possible experience from start to finish. What really stood out was the personal touch. At the end of the day, Shaun filleted our Mahi for us and even recommended a fantastic local raw bar that specializes in catch-and-cook. We took our fresh fish straight there and had one of the best meals of our trip! If you’re thinking about booking a charter, hands down choose Boa Vida. This team truly cares about making your day unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend them more highly — you’ll leave with full coolers and even bigger smiles. Thank you, Mary Ann and Shaun! We’ll definitely be back. #WR5

  Great day of fishing!

  3/4 Day Trip on May 29, 2026 • 3 adults

  My boys and I chartered with Boa Vida because of all the great reviews that Maryann gets. We’ve done this once before down in Mexico and to say our experiences were different would be an understatement! To start, we all caught several fish. The boat was way nicer and Maryann and Eric were great, very personable. Mexico Captain hardly said a word to us and we only caught 2 fish. We would recommend booking with Maryann/Boa Vida to anyone!

  Best day of our week in Key West

  3/4 Day Trip (7AM) on May 14, 2026 • 2 adults

  We had a Blast!!!! started a little slow trolling for Mahi Mahi, but we did get one in the boat. Later Captain Jason set us up for bottom fish and GAME ON!!! We caught a variety of fish Black and Red Grouper, Mutton snapper, Yellow Tail, and a Mutton snapper (all keepers)!!! captain Jason was a very nice hard working youg man that kept the bite on. We were exhausted. We had a very relaxing a scenic ride on the way back to end our day. STRONGLY RECOMMEND.

  Great experience across the board!

  3/4 Day Trip (PM) on March 25, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

  Maryann and Sean were absolutely awesome in every aspect. We had another trip cancelled with a different captain the prior day and fortunately there was an opening for a 6 hour trip the next day with Boa Vida. The boat was really nice and you could tell they took pride in taking care of it and the all the fishing gear. We started off targeting some yellowtails to get some dinner first and pretty quickly for about 10 keepers along with a few others. We then set out to troll in deeper waters in hopes of catching some bigger fish. Both my son and daughter , 10 and 13, caught blackfin tuna and they were really excited about that. It definitely took some patience, but Maryann and Sean did everything they could to make sure both kids got something they could feel good about. They were great with the kids and super friendly to chat with. I would book with them in a heartbeat next time we're in town and would recommend to anyone else looking for a fun time fishing in Key West
