Capt. Will was great. We had a mix of seasoned fisherman to first time outers. Capt. Will quickly realized who knew what and tailored the fishing experience as required. Weather was fantastic. First stop and within 10 minutes we were landing Tuna. The day just kept getting better. Second stop for Mahi took a bit longer to produce, but Will was persistent and next thing we know we’re in a school of Mahi. At one point we had 5 on the lines all at once. We had an incredible day out on the water with a very talented and professional Capt. there’s a reason Will has so many 5 star reviews.

We have never gone lobstering before and were a little bit hesitant about booking the charter. From the moment we got on the boat,  Will put us at ease. Started us off easy in the bay and explained everything to us. He got in the water for the first couple to show us how to do it. When he saw us struggling to get them in the net, he jumped back in to help guide us along. He is very patient and knows how to get the lobster in the boat. We almost caught our limit, but being beginners, we let alot sneak out of the net. We were having so much fun we extended our trip out to 6 hours from the original 4 hours we booked. If you want to have a really fun day, call Captain Will and he will take care of the rest! We will be calling him again the next time we are in the Keys!

If Poseidon himself ran a charter, it’d be Snap Um Up Fishing.

We went out chasing dreams and came back with nineteen stunning dolphin fish (mahi-mahi, for the landlubbers). Nineteen. That’s not fishing—that’s hauling in gold from the sea. These weren’t just small schoolies either—we’re talking slabs of beauty that bent the rods and lit up the deck like a Vegas jackpot.

Captain [Insert Captain’s Name] runs a tight ship—professional, prepared, and dialed in. He doesn’t chase fish, he finds them like he’s got GPS coordinates to Neptune’s pantry. The crew? Absolute legends. Smooth, skilled, and cool under pressure, they kept lines tight and spirits high the entire trip.

Every detail was on point. Gear was top-notch, the boat was clean and steady, and the vibe? Pure adrenaline mixed with salty sea breeze and high-fives. You could tell these folks don’t just fish—they live for the thrill of it.

Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just want to feel like one, Snap Um Up Fishing delivers the kind of day you’ll be bragging about for years. I didn’t just catch fish—I caught a core memory.

Already planning the next trip. Until then? Tight lines and high seas!

We started out early and throughout the day we fished for multiple different fish.  Even when the fish were not biting Will Had many different techniques to get them biting.  While other couldn’t find fish we limited out! We will for sure be back to fish with captain will.

Great time with Captain Will. He knows where to go and was patient with anglers with little or no experience. Make sure to choose this one for your Islamorada fishing trip. We did a short early morning trip and were happy with it.
