Captain Jason is a solid professional, and knows what he is doing. If the fish are not biting in one area, we went to the next landing a few yellow tails, a couple grouper, and a black tip shark.  The shark steaks were really amazing.  Highly recommend using Boa Vida Charters. Hats off to Maryann as well. She is great, and met us at the dock when we returned. Truly genuine salt of the earth people with this charter. Can’t ask for more.  Thank you both so much for the entire experience. Will... More

Captain Shawn and First Mate Mike did an outstanding job of getting us on the fish and keeping things organized as we had multiple lines with fish on at the same time. Both Shawn and Mike were friendly and knowledgeable. The boat and fishing tackle was in great shape. Top notch charter!!

I was slightly worried as this trip was a birthday gift for an 11 year old. However, it turned out great! The birthday boy caught his dream fish (Mahi) and the crew went above and beyond to make sure the experience was everything it could be. We will definitely book again the next time we’re in the keys.

Sean and Jason tried very hard to maximize... More
