I vacationed in Key Largo and wanted to take my 12 year old son fishing. Many charters available, and I reviewed many, and finally selected Captain Justin and All Hanns on Deck for a short 4 hour trip. Primarily because it was a smaller boat which I figured would be best for us, good reviews, along with it being a catamaran type boat for smoother ride. Side note - Not smooth enough for my wife who was โchumming the waterโ as soon as we dropped anchor. Told her to get some dramamine but sheโs stubborn. She hung in there and the fishing began. We caught many fish, Barracuda, Yellow Tail Snapper, and Mutton Snapper. All were the biggest fish my son had ever caught. Heโll never forget this trip. Captain Justin and mate Alex are very experienced, personable and knowledgeable. They knew just about everything there is to know about fishing in Key Largo area and were very willing to share. We caught some and missed some, and had a wonderful time. I highly recommend Captain Justin and All Hanns on Deck and the next time Iโm in area, Iโll be booking another trip.

My two boys and I recently took a half-day morning trip with Captain Hanns and his first mate Alex. The weather wasnโt ideal and the seas were a little rough but the captain still managed to put us on fish. We were able to land runners, yellow tails and a big black grouper. My boys had never been deep sea fishing before, but Captain Hanns and first mate Alex were patient and very knowledgeable. They managed to make it a great experience even though Mother Nature was against us. The boat was in good condition and had all the necessary gear. I have no complaints about the trip. I will definitely go again this summer and I may even try one of the tuna trips in the winter. I do recommend this trip to new and experienced anglers alike.

We had a great trip with Justin and hooked two very large (6-7โ) sharks just feet off shore from where his boat is docked. We had been in rough water earlier in the day on another charter and we were very glad this area was much calmer.ย It was just us and Justin but he managed the boat, the lines and people just fine. He kept 4 lines out trying to hook-up. He is focused on getting set-up when you first get out, which makes you think he is quiet, but the more you get him talking the more he opens up. He is local so he knows the area vs someone working seasonally.ย He was patient with both boys and walked them through how to reel in the sharks. When it got quiet and we were waiting for sharks, he setup small rods to keep us occupied pulling up small fish from the bottom. The hull of the boat has plenty of room to move around and it is designed to rock less on the water. Think pontoon vs center console in how it moves on the water. There is cover for shade/wind. Hooking a tarpon would have been fun but what a memory for my boys, both getting to reel in a 7โ shark each. We would book with Justin again if we make it back down to the Keys!

Captain Justin recommended we reschedule our trip for later in the week due to more favorable weather conditions. And he was right.ย We caught more than enough fish to feed our group. Snapper and king mackerel; even tossed back a couple of large barracuda.ย They had everything we needed, and would recommend them to anyone looking for an offshore key largo charter. Highly recommend!
These guys are awesome! Worked hard to put us on fish and they did not disappoint! Got a monster Mahi Mahi and many others including a Rainbow, a Blue Runner, and Bar Jack. Had to release some as we had more than enough. Justin and Alex were awesome guys and were kind and courteous. I had two novice fishermen with me and man did they feel at home with these guys. I canโt say enough good things about this crew!
Thanks Dan! You guys were fun to have aboard.
