Despite dealing with strong winds Captain Allen did everything possible to get us on fish.  He changed locations multiple times and made equipment changes based on changing conditions.  At the end of the day, we had over 6 different species of fish on the boat and learned a lot about the local habitat and fishing techniques.  It was enjoyable to spend the day with Captain Allen and I’d recommend him to anyone looking for an offshore trip in Lower Keys.

Took my boy (13 yrs old) and daughter (11) on a 3/4 day trip with Captain Allen. We spent most of the day fishing but the last couple hours we lobstered. We first trolled on and near the reefs where we had several strikes and landed a large mackerel and a Bonita. Then we moved closer to the reef, anchored up and cast with shrimp and cut bait. We lost count of the fish we caught (yellowtail and rainbow runners were the eaters and we caught enough for a couple large meals). A huge hammerhead shark entertained us for a while near the boat. Then we motored back toward shore and snorkeled for lobster in 3 - 7 feet of water. It was our first time lobstering. We saw a bunch but were only able to net 2, both of which were too small to keep. But it was a great first time experience and we’ll do it again. Capt Allen was fantastic and very patient helping the kids. He expertly filleted the fish and provided an excellent recommendation where to go to have the fish prepared. I go on a couple fishing charters every year while on vacation for the past 15+ years and this was one of the most enjoyable. A lifetime memory with my kids.

We came down to the Keys from PA to celebrate my boyfriend’s 40th birthday. A fishing trip was a must on his bucket list. We have chartered several fishing trips at various locations but this was by far a favorite. Capt. Allen knew where exactly where the fish were biting!! We saw a water spout form, got to experience a rain storm on the ocean (saw a beautiful rainbow as a result), saw sea turtles, and caught dozens of fish, most of which were keepers!!! Capt. Allen was a super nice guy and cleaned all of our fish at the end of the trip. We will definitely be coming back and booking with him again.

Captain Allen has allot going on, his quick and accurate with his communicates, no BS or surprises, very accommodating, very nice boat / equipment , he worked hard to get on the fish. Our wife’s also enjoyed the fishing trip, and they caught the first three fish and keep captain Allen busy the rest of the trip! Thank you for a great day on the water and we hope to do it again in the future!

We had a 3/4 day trip with Captain Allen. He was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. He worked hard to get us fishing around the rainy weather forecast. We caught 2 keeper mahi mahi (out of 4) trolling and several good size yellow tail off the reef. His boat was a comfortable riding vessel. Would definitely book with him again !
