My family and I arrived the day before and spoke to several people in the marina and found that the fishing had been slow the whole week prior, so we had some idea what we might be in store for…or so we thought. Captain Sean and first mate Woody sat with us and we came up with a game plan that worked to perfection. We booked the 3/4 day trip which allowed us some flexibility on what and where we were going to fish. Before Woody was able to get the second rod in the water captain Sean yelled “FISH ON” and it was like that for most of the day. I’ve been on several charters over the years but have never seen a captain/mate team work like this before. They were on the same page and didn’t skip a beat. It was my son’s first deep sea fishing trip and only my wife’s second. The second half of the trip I found myself sitting back and just enjoying them enjoying this special day. Many memories were made and I would recommend this trip to anyone no matter there experience level. This was our first time chartering Boa Vida, but won’t be our last.

My family and I had an absolute incredible and fun time finishing today! I highly recommend Boa Vida Charters. It was super easy reserving the day and time. Very responsive in coordinating the time and providing the details on the fishing charter. While on the charter the captain and crew were very knowledgeable and helpful. We had a ton of fun being with them and they were very knowledgeable on great locations to find some good fishing locations. It was so kinds of the crew to filet our fish for us to take home. The trip absolutely made my family’s vacation. I would book another trip in a heart beat.

Captain Sean and Mike were very accommodating and knowledgeable. They were friendly and patient. They explained to the kids, my husband and I how to go about fishing with the obvious love and respect they have for the skill. We caught mahi-mahi, yellow tail and even a wahoo plus a few others we chose to let go. The crew cleaned and fillet the fish quickly and even prepared some fresh wahoo with soy sauce for us to have right then and there at the dock. Absolutely delicious! We did the 8-hour for my husband’s birthday and we had a great time.

Captain Sean and first mate Jason worked very hard during our trip to enable a memorable experience. Knowledgeable, pleasant and focused, they guided us for some reef fishing, and deep sea fishing. We caught over 20 fish, 3 big barracudas (have to let them go, not eatable), 15+ yellow tail and mutton snappers (kept 13), a large cero mackerel (very tasty!), several remora (sharks were also chasing the yellow tail snappers!) and needle fish that we let go. Sean and Jason tried very hard to maximize the time we had on the boat. The crew cleaned and packed in ice the fish at the end of trip, absolutely professionals. Truly wished we would have done the 8 hours trip with them! Highly recommend this company, Sean and Maryann are the co-owners, great people.

My son and I booked a 6 hour fishing trip with Boa Vida in late October. Water was a bit choppy but everything else about the trip was fantastic. Crew of Jason and Sean was very professional, friendly and helpful. Very experienced, took us to a reef area and deep water. We caught a variety of fish including barracudas, mackerel, snapper and small sharks. After the trip, they cleaned the fish and gave us a great recommendation of a restaurant that cooked up our fish for us (and did a fantastic job). Next day, I asked Maryann about recommendations for snorkelling tours. Once again, great advice and we enjoyed a tour that was very well done. Would highly recommend this company to anyone interested in a fishing trip from Key West.
