Captain Gary was awesome! I’ve gotten to fish in Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Mexico and various places in the U.S. this past year and I would venture to say he’s the most knowledgeable captain I’ve had, he was great with teaching my son some tips on casting. He was great. I cannot say enough good things about him. Definitely recommend booking with him!

If you’re looking for the real deal in Islamorada, your search ends here. Captain Gary and his son deliver exactly what you’d hope for—and more. As the owner of a booking platform myself, I’ve seen it all, and this father-and-son duo is exactly the kind of team I’d be proud to have representing our brand.

Gary is the definition of a true guide. He’s not just a guy with a boat and a rod—he’s friendly, real, deeply knowledgeable, and fully committed to giving you the best experience possible. From the moment we stepped aboard, it was clear we were in expert hands.

Capt. SKIP brings incredible experience to your backcountry fishing charter, he was very patient with my son and two newbies and helped teach and coach them and caught some nice fish on a windy day. He also had a good sense of humor and wit that added to the trip.  I’ve been fishing and coming to the keys for 35 years and lived here for 20, Capt. Skip is a real pro.  Thank you!

He took us out longer than expected, did everything he could to get us on tarpon. We got snook, jacks and barracuda. Awesome captain, will book again and suggest to others!
