Captain Hoyt was incredible. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife we encountered, The fish I caught and he was just a super nice guy. If I lived down there, he and I would probably be friends. My wife and I felt like we knew him forever. The weather was overcast and we ran into a rain storm on the way back and got soaked - we laughed the whole way back. In all fairness it rained all week and the sun didn’t come out until we left on Saturday. Captain Hoyt, made the trip even when it rained. What a great time we had. I will request him again and tell all my friends if they go down that way, ask for Captain Hoyt ….

Excellent experience from start to finish. The guide was knowledgeable, professional, and made sure we were comfortable and prepared.
The boat was clean,well-maintained, and well equipped. We were able to catch multiple fish. Overall, the 4-hour trip was well worth it and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend this fishing guide to anyone looking for a great day on the water, whether you’re new to fishing or a seasoned angler. I look forward to booking another trip in the future.

My family and I had a fantastic time with Captain Hoyt. We were communicating before the fishing trip because the wind in the keys was going to to be very strong. Captain Hoty was amazing with my kids, 11 and 15. They are both Scouts and Hoyt is an Eagle Scout as well. He asked all the questions my 11 year had and taught him how to see the fish on the sonar. I had told Captain Hoty ahead of time that we were looking for fish to eat and take home then maybe something exciting. We did have a learning curve using circle hooks but Hoyt was an excellent teacher and we were pulling in Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper and a few other fishing. I don’t remember. If you are a family doing family camp at Sea Bases Camp Sawyer, or just a family visiting the keys. Captain Hoyt is your guy. Perfect for 4 people and reasonable.

Storms rolling through, high winds and choppy seas, the Captain was still able to get us on the fish. My wife and I had a great time while on his boat. We seen some incredible views, filmed dolphins playing around the boat, and caught plenty of fish. I’ll be sure to call him again on our next trip through the keys.

Captain Hoyte was a joy to spend the day with. His knowledge of not only fishing but local history of the area was outstanding! The excellent hospitality and the nonstop fish on the line made this charter above and beyond all others. I would 100% recommend that any angler looking for local flare, a great laugh, and nonstop fish on the hook book a trip with Captain Hoyte!

2 part review.  My brother and I brought our lifelong friend down for a private charter for his bachelor party.  I’m not much of an angler but I could fish with Capt Hoyte any day.  The man is a wealth of knowledge and skill he was the captain, first mate historian and a friend on this charter. The 3 of us couldn’t ask for a better memory and tally of fish.  We all caught countless breed and number of snapper on top of. Several other species my buddy capped it off with a 7’ lemon shark.. I’m over here hoping marriages don’t work out so we can go back.
