It's not really about the big fish. It's about the experience this charter can be great first time experience or if u are a pro. Always ask questions we learn something new every day.

Theda Kontis
Had multiple captains cancel on us, at short notice , so even though we tried to book ahead, we were disappointed.

Eric Tree
Keep in contact with the Captain prior to your trip as weather and wind conditions can affect the bite. Plan for some flexibility if possible.

Robert Redfearn
Captain Pat was outstanding! Great guide that put us on fish everyday. Knows his stuff. He’s patient with a great sense of humor. Couldn’t have been better!

Daniel Goodwin
Remember snack and drinks prior to the morning of the charter. There are a few places open but make sure you are not late to the boat you will miss out in the morning bite.

Wendy Nelson
If there will be wind it will be rocky on the water. Glad we had Dramamine. If you think you may have a hard time with nausea best to take something so you won’t be bothered.

Mitchell Kerr
The fishing was limited due to weather and ocean conditions, but good enough to leave a new Florida Keys angler wanting more, worth the experience.

Darren Goff
Know what type of fish you want to catch and book the right kind of guide . Bone fishing takes patience this is not a trip for kids .

Robert Estape
The Captain knew his stuff, was extremely helpful and accommodating. First mate was first class. We really got the trip of a lifetime!

Jimmy Chretien
Be open minded. Tides, wind, time of year and other conditions can effect how many fish you get. But Captain Hann will do everything possible to get you on best the fish possible.

Tami Martin
The summer is busy along with winter season - book your fishing trips out by a couple months as you don’t want to not get

Amy Watson
Weather can be a bit unpredictable and pop up storms/showers are common, so it's important to go with someone who knows the area and weather patterns/resources.

Brandon Gifford
Yes, Jason has a lot of experience and will ask what you are looking for and do his best to help guided you to the experience you want. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

Rick Tillotson
Yes - trolled and live fished - the tugs on the reel were nice - helps to go with an experienced captain like Justin - he definitely made a difference

John Casey
It is super hot in Key Largo in June. If you're fishing it will be deep sea trolling, otherwise you'll pass out from the sun. Go in an earlier month for reef fishing.

Mary Cline
We enjoyed inshore fishing. We would definitely recommend it for people with kids. It is much more active than trolling.

Kim Foley
Enjoy your day on the water and take your fresh catch to Lazy Lobster where they will prepare it for a great meal.

Stephen Wilson
This was a perfect trip for my wife and me I would recommend it for those who would like to experience a bit of the Everglades parkland and catch a variety of fish

Matthew Harjus
I’m not from the Keys, so I only gave it a good review because I don’t know how great it really can be.

John Combs
Expect all weather conditions and use motion sickness medication even if you do not think you will get seasick.

Scott Muzzey
Bring food drink sunscreen and you will need time to find the fish more time to find the fish as the ocean is vast

Hannes Egli
Die beste Saison soll scheinbar im circa Dezember/Januar oder im Juli/August sein. April ist trotzdem eine gute Zeit, für Anfänger sogar ideal. Es muss ja nicht gleich ein Hai oder Tuna sein ?

Rachelle Beaulieu
Tampa, Florida
Waters can be a bit choppy in April. For an amazing experience, if there is a slight possibility you may get sea sick, be sure to take something ahead of time.

Jeffrey Kawa
Yes. Just make sure the boat you’re chartering is size appropriate for the number of people you’re bringing.

Pete Gower
It was our first time in Key Largo and completely different to fishing in England and France... I would definitely recommend trying this to anyone visiting Key Largo for the first time.

John Aubrey
Key Largo has some a great water habitat for fishing and tons of wild life can be seen on any given day.

Cindy Hansen
Just be patient! A bad day on the water is better than a great day at work as they say!! Just enjoy everything about being in such a beautiful place! March weather is beautiful!

Rich Zirbel
Key Largo has an awesome fishery, but due to the weather the day we went we weren’t able to take full advantage of it, but did the best we could and got a good meal of fish.

Rich Zirbel
From what I’ve seen and heard we did ok with the weather we were dealt. Planning next time in mid summer.

Cliff Stebbins
Skip the bigger charters who aren't concerned with catching fish. Find the locals that have smaller more personalized trips and can get you on fish.
