This is our family’s first fishing trip in Key West and Capt Joe and Brian were nothing less than awesome!! Capt Joe called the day before and explained everything about the boat and trip. I am very thankful because we had no idea about sport fishing!

We were the first boat off the dock in the morning and within an hour he put us on some Mahi Mahi. Brian, mate, was fantastic. He worked his tail off all day, taught us about where they find the fish, helped everyone reel in a mahi. I cannot say enough good things about him.

They said fishing had been up/down this week, but we caught 15 fish, a bunch of keepers, and a 24 pound Mahi. Catching fish is never guaranteed, but you can tell Capt Joe and Brian love what they do! It was an epic trip and I highly recommend the Jolly Roger II for anyone.

Thanks for a memorable experience!

We had an incredible time out on the water with Captain Joe and Brian. In the days leading up to the charter, Captain Joe shared that the fishing report offshore had been very poor with very few fish being caught. Knowing this, he helped us create a revised plan which would still allow us to catch a large quantity of fish. The plan worked perfectly, and we started the day with dozens of good sized cero mackerel and a couple false albacore. Thanks to the transperency of Captain Joe, we were able to change plans and have an extremely successful day that otherwise would not have happened. We then headed offshore, knowing the chaces of us catching would be very poor. Despite this, we managed to still bring in a blackfin tuna before heading back in for the day. The skill and knowledge of both Capatin Joe and his first mate Brian absolutely made this day as successful as possible. They helped us outfish most if not all the surrounding boats and shared their invaluable local knowledge and tips. The trip was the best experience we have had on a charter and I would only want to fish with him here in the future.

Captain Joe and first mate Adam were fantastic.  It was a beautiful day on the water in Key West! Our first bite was a sailfish, got to see him but he spit the hook. then we caught 2 blackfin tuna which was on our bucketlist. Then to end the day my brother in law landed a beast of a mahi on a day when fish were not biting very frequently.
Great crew whom actually cared that we were there and treated us like friends right from the start.
Will definitely be booking them again!
