  Pete and Travis made our experience well beyond our expectations, will remember the experience on board the lethal weapon for life, highly recommend for any occasion or just a fun time. We went for a bachelor party and could not have had a better experience! Looking forward to our next trip will be returning specifically to do another charter with these absolute legends. Just ate the best blackfin tuna and mahi mahi i have ever had

  A day to remember - Is that all you got?

  6 Hour – Crew Favorite on October 1, 2026 • 6 adults

  We had a storm blow in first thing in the morning and had to turn back to shore. Captain Pete recommended we go to breakfast and then give it a try in an hour or two. We went back out a couple hours later and had a great time catching fish. The oceans were rough, but the torrential downpour and high, high winds, had stopped. He cautioned us that the larger than usual waves were not for a family trip but a group of men wanting to go fishing, it should be a good time. It was obvious that Captain Pete had navigated the large waves and deep water before. A few of the guys hurled, which would be expected with the large waves - this gave us all something to laugh about later. For a group of guys wanting to go to sea, it was an excellent trip - topped off with no injuries. Captain Pete checked periodically to see if we had had enough of the waves. The guys, even the ones that hurled, said they'd do it again. We had a great time; Captain Pete and his crew knew their stuff. :)

  Amazing 1st fishing charter in the Keys

  4 Hour Trip – Big Game - 3:00 PM on August 13, 2026 • 6 adults

  Captain Pete & his mate Frank were awesome. Had an excellent time! They were supportive, friendly, and didnt skip a step to make sure we brought in as many fish as we could, even for a half day trip. They say a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work. Well, a good day of fishing makes you never want to go back! The sun & heat don’t mess around but there is plenty of shade on board. Catching Mahi was a first for everyone in our group which was fun to experience. Gorgeous fish. Towards the end of the trip they dropped a line as deep as it could go to see what we could wrangle in and my little brother got to reel in an Amberjack in 400+ feet of water which is an experience you don’t get often! Thank you again Cptn Pete & Frank - we will see you again soon 👍🏼

  Perfect sunrise trip on the water!

  6 Hour – Crew Favorite on July 31, 2026 • 6 adults

  Captain Pete and First Mate Travis were excellent! Their performance and teamwork were crucial for our success. I was so glad I chose this charter and boat for the ease of moving around the aft area while fishing. Pretty much as soon as we hit deep water, Captain Pete put us on a school of Mahi-mahi and the action was unbelievable. We had several first time ocean anglers in the group and it was great to see the look on their faces as the fish started biting. We also caught a nice size Greater Amberjack and some smaller bait fish as well. We will definitely be back! The only problem now is, topping this trip!

  Best and 1st trip!

  4 Hour Trip – Big Game - 3:00 PM on July 26, 2026 • 5 adults

  Had an incredible half-day yellowtail trip out of Key Largo, and can't recommend the crew enough. This was our first time on a private charter as a family, and they absolutely delivered. We booked this trip last minute after another charter fell through due to mechanical issues. Pete, who normally runs things, was out of town but coordinated everything for us and got Ryan lined up to captain the boat. He was prompt communicating with us and made sure everything was scheduled correctly and that we'd be geared up for a good day. Ryan and first mate Matt took great care of us out there. We hit perfect conditions and nearly limited out on yellowtail, it was one of those days everything just came together. Ryan gave us a clear rundown before we headed out on what we'd be targeting and how the day would go. He and Matt were awesome with our whole group, and made a point of letting our youngest angler catch some bait fish, which he loved. They made sure the rest of us felt taken care of the entire trip too. Smooth ride out, smooth ride back. They cleaned all our fish for us afterward, filleted some and kept others whole so we could take some to a restaurant to have cooked and bring the rest home to freeze. That kind of extra care after a trip already ended says a lot. If you're in Key Largo and want a great shot at yellowtail with a crew that knows what they're doing and treats you right, book with this crew. It set the bar high for every charter after it. Already looking forward to going back.
