The captain was great! His name was ray, but I had never been fishing before and I was hoping for more action or just insight on fishing conditions or things we are passing by, It just felt really slow and the fish cooking recommendation was fantastic. Getting it cooked at Dante’s made it worth it. I sort of felt like we just on a fast boat cruise, with minimal fishing. I think I just thought since we decided to do the charter it was going to be more action with fish. Maybe if we had some a full day….we would have gotten more fish…

Great experience! Captain Mike dressed the fish and gave us recommendation of restaurant to cook it. Freshest fish ever! We will do this again!
The captain made sure we came back with some fish, he worked vary hard and it payed off in the end. The catch of the day black fin tuna!!! We had a great time.
This charter was good. Our boat captain, Chris, provided a safe trip and is clearly an experienced fisherman. However, he leaves areas for improvement. He has short patience for the novice customer, readily uses foul language, transmits unprofessional banter with other boat captains, and openly complains about the cost of lost lures. But hey, it’s a fishing charter so prepare for a salty sailor experience! In the end, Chris helped us catch a bunch of Mangrove fish from a local honey hole to start the trip and then moved to deeper water where Chris set us up to catch Wahoo and Mahi Mahi, which was super fun. Overall, I’d recommend Fish Key West as a fishing charter on your vacation to Key West.

Nice clean boat. Captain John was very nice, educational, and attentive to my wife and I and the other couple on board. It was a little windy that day so Captain John make sure he brought us to an area that was protected to make sure that we had a nice day. We had decent luck catching snapper, blue stripe grunts, and various other species. Had a 9 to 10 pound snapper on my line when a 200 pound goliath grouper came up and stole it. Needless to say I didn’t reel him in! Awesome to see though. Captain John filleted the fish and we took them to a local restaurant for a hook and cook special. Was pretty cool to go sea to table for our lunch! Over all, Captain, Boat and experience was good. I would recommend this company and Trip! ??
