  Want a crew that works hard to put you on fish this is it!

  4 Hr Reef & Nearshore Fishing - 2:00 PM on September 27, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

  Our experience was by far superior! We fished today with Capt Ricky and Our mate was AJ and they were absolutely phenomenal! They were real with us in timing of fish, expectation of what we could potentially see and get and even had a back up plan if it didn’t work out! There hard works and service did not go unnoticed! They worked their tails off today to land us some fish. AJ even let our little boy help reel in a few fish as well! Our little boy was grinning ear to ear! We caught 7 tuna and 3 barracudas and they were all great fights! AJ really knew when to reel in what to do when to stop reeling in and when we had 3/4 lines screaming he handled it with confidence! Ricky was so great at slowing down and constantly gave us opportunities to catch some great fish today! Beyond pleased with our experience

  Best birthday trip ever!

  8 Hr Offshore Fishing - 7:00 AM on September 26, 2026 • 2 adults

  I had so much fun on my birthday fishing and them. They were is so knowledgeable about the fish in the area, and where to go to find them. We caught a variety of fish while we were out including Bonita (bait fish for later), Tuna, over 20 Yellow Snapper, Strawberry Grouper, Mutton Snapper and a Red Grouper. We got a shark and barracuda on the lines but they got away. It was our first time deep sea fishing and the captain and Edward made sure to show us everything we needed to know and were very patient and so much fun. I'll definitely be booking with them again!

  Wonderful trip!

  6 Hr Reef & Offshore Fishing - 7:00 AM on July 23, 2026 • 5 adults

  Our trip with Captain Edward on the Reef Runner Charter was more than a charter — it was a moment of healing that became one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. He guided my children and I out to the deep blue waters to release my husband’s ashes The way he honored that moment, the quiet respect he showed, and the coordinates he gifted us so we can always return — it meant everything. We’ll always know the place where we said our goodbye. I also want to say how incredible the fishing was with the Captain and his first mate, John. The two of them made the day feel easy, fun, and full of good energy. They knew exactly where to take us, kept everyone comfortable, and turned a heavy day into one filled with laughter and memories. Captain Edward and John were truly outstanding. My children and I thank you!

  Amazing Trip!!!

  6 Hr Reef & Offshore Fishing on July 20, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  If you're looking for an offshore fishing charter in Key West, stop searching and book with Captain Edward and First Mate Johnny, you won't regret it! The fishing action was nonstop, with as many as 3–5 mahi on the lines at the same time! We booked the 6-hour trip, and they tailored the entire day around the species we wanted to target. Their knowledge of the local waters and fish behavior was incredible, and they consistently put us on fish. The boat was extremely comfortable and dry, even in 3 foot swells. There was plenty of shade during the ride out and anytime we weren't actively fighting fish, which made a huge difference on a hot Florida day. What really set this trip apart was Captain Edward and Johnny themselves. They were professional, incredibly friendly, patient, and worked tirelessly to make sure everyone had an amazing experience. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and truly want their guests to have the best day possible. We fish Tampa Bay regularly, and this was one of the most enjoyable charter experiences we've ever had. Between the nonstop action, outstanding service, and overall professionalism, we honestly couldn't have asked for a better trip. Our coolers were full, but more importantly, our family made memories we'll be talking about for years. That's something you simply can't put a price on. Thank you again, Captain Edward and Johnny, for giving our family such an unforgettable experience. We'll definitely be back!

  Great Fishing Experience!

  8 Hr Offshore Fishing on June 3, 2026 • 2 adults

  Came to Key West to celebrate my son’s high school graduation and booked a trip with Capt. Ed based on his outstanding reviews. All I can say is that he has earned every single one of them. The communication leading up to the trip was top-notch, and the fishing itself exceeded our expectations. Capt. Ed and his mate took the time to explain every aspect of what we were doing and why we were doing it. It was easy to tell that their goal was to put us on fish, not just take us out, let us wet a hook, and call it a day. We booked an 8-hour trip, and thanks to their experience and knowledge of the area, we reached our limit in a very short time. The action was nonstop, and they worked hard to make sure we had a great experience from start to finish. If you’re unfamiliar with the Key West area and are looking to book a fishing trip, you will not be disappointed with these guys. Capt. Ed and his crew are true professionals, and I highly recommend them.
