Captain Torre's roots run deep in the Florida Keys, where he was born and raised. With over 15 years of experience exploring the waters of the Lower Keys, he knows these waterways like the back of his hand. Growing up as a native of Big Pine Key, he spent his days free diving for Lobsters and spearfishing for meals right off his dock, starting when he could barely hold a fishing rod. His heart belongs to the ocean, and his greatest hope is to share his knowledge with you during your adventure together!

Half Day Wreck/Reef fishing • 3 adults • 1 childBigboii Charters with Capt Torre — legendary. The kind of trip you talk about every time fishing comes up. Took my three Sons out — nonstop action. Yellowtail Snapper all day, then a MONSTER King fish that pushed me to my limit. Easy top 5 I’ve ever caught. Fish straight from ocean to the pan… no hesitation. I grew up fishing party boats with my Dad — Now I’m building those same memories with my Sons… on a better boat called the BigBoii. Capt Torre was locked in — calm, great with kids, and made it all happen. This wasn’t just fishing. This was full circle. Salute Capt Torre — more Blessings to you and your family. Epic days only.

Warren LeggettCalifornia, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedAmazing day on the Fish!
4 hour Half day (inshore fishing) • 1 adultI can't say enough positives. Amazing day out on the water with Captain Torree, he knew the spots being a lifelong local. We stopped to catch some bait fish(had shrimp also), first net cast full so on we went. Had to learn some techniques to get the fish hooked and in the boat, more than enough Yellow Tail Snapper and Mackerel for me. Torre was passionate about me having a great experience, lots of laughter too. He even recommend a place in the Key West that would take the fish and prep Sashimi and other dishes - wife and I followed through and had a great dinner! No Brainer Big Boii Charters!

Jeff SchottRepeat anglerNew Jersey, US•Member since 2023•4 trips5.0VerifiedGreat day on the reef
4 hour Half day (inshore fishing) • 4 adultsTook my wife, son and daughter out for a day of reef fishing. Captain Torre was great. He's a very knowledgeable fisherman who knows the local waters well. We came home with lots of yellowtail and hooked up with some interesting fish including a barracuda and even a remora (thats a first for me). I highly recommend spending a day with Capt. Torre. We'll definitely book again on our next trip to the Keys.
Response from Captainthankyou jeff !! pleasure having yall
Patricia MartinezNew York, US•Member since 20255.0VerifiedGreat for anything between no experience to pros.
4 hour Half day (inshore fishing) • 2 adultsNever fished on the ocean before and it’s been a while since any kind of fishing period. Captain Torre was a great teacher, easy to talk to, super positive, and knowledgeable not only about the area and fishing in general. You can totally tell he enjoys what he does. The fishing spots that we went to were great, especially the second one. Lots of catching and a few workouts to bring some of the fish in. Definitely will be booking Big Boii Charter the next time in the area. HUGE thanks to Captain Torre and Tom for making the trip so memorable.

4 Hour Fish/Snorkel/Sandbar Combo • 4 adultsWanted to take the family out for a short fishing trip during our time in the Keys and hit the jackpot with Big Boi Charters. Torre made the scheduling easy and had everything ready for us. We caught several different types of fish and Torre recommended a local restaurant that prepared our catch for lunch. Couldn’t recommend Big Boi Charters more!
Response from CaptainThankyou Mr John! hope we can do it again !

What's biting with Big Boii Charters in Big Pine Key
Kids go back to school, but the fish are going nowhere. In inshore waterways you can catch Permit, Reds, Trout, Bonefish, whereas an offshore trip can get you a Marlin, an occasional Tuna, Wahoo, and some other members of the Bill family.
