My wife and I booked an 8hr fishing trip with Captain Joe, and we were very satisfied with our day on the water. Captain Joe is very knowledgeable about the area and what you want to fish and will put you on fish that are biting. We took home 10 mahi, 2 black tuna, 2 mackerel, and a variety of snapper and a decent size yellow jack. He was very accommodating of helping us catch dinner, but also spent a good amount of time trying to help us catch a sailfish. Even though we weren’t successful with the sailfish, we still had the best time and day on the boat and a load of fun catching fish. His deck hand Jessica is also very knowledgeable and helpful with catching a variety of fish. Captain Joe and Jessica were very kind, relaxed, and worked hard to ensure we had a success day and a lot of fun. I would highly recommend Captain Joe and the Coral Sea for your Islamorada fishing trip. It is well worth your time and money well spent!

We booked last minute, wanted to catch something/anything cool before we flew out early the next morning. Captain Joe and first mate Jessica were very accommodating and made our quick experience very fun! Landed two big barracuda! From their entertaining personalities to watching the live bate to the fight once we hooked the fish and everything in between, we had a blast!
Book with Captain Joe! You won’t be disappointed!

Awesome full day with Captain Joe and first mate Jessica. From the time we got on the Coral Sea to the time we got off, nothing but professionalism, hard work and a genuine passion for us to have a great time we’re displayed. Captain Joe tirelessly worked to put us in the best locations to catch fish. First mate Jessica prepped us with knowledge on what to expect with each type of fish we were going after. Truly amazing to watch Captain Joe and Jessica work together. Highly recommend booking this charter.

The only problem that we had was the weather and you proved that you were’nt God because you couldn’t calm the sea. ( just kidding ) . If you would advise as to when the time of the year is best, I would appreciate. When I get back down, I will be bringing my sister. I hope that you can provide as an enjoyable experience for her as you did for me. Again, THANK YOU , for a job well done.P.S. Your mate on board done an excellent job.  Don Upperman
