Curt, thank you for the stellar review and for rolling with the weather call. Safety comes first, and we’re glad we were able to get you back out the very next morning. Hearing that the Sanctuary crew put you right on the bite beyond the reef—yellowtail, mackerel, a toothy barracuda, plus multiple shark sightings—makes our day. That’s a great mixed-bag half-day on a shared charter in Key West, and we’re honored it felt “once in a lifetime.” We’d love to have you back anytime.

If you want to focus on big toothy critters next visit, we run dedicated Key West shark fishing adventures (inshore, reef, and deepwater). Or, choose a private charter for a fully customized plan with your own crew and pace.

Also, for a keepsake from the day, go to BiteBackBrand and under Local Legends, go to Cowboy to get your t-shirts and other gear.

Helpful Q&A
Q: What happens if the forecast looks rough on my day?
A: We monitor marine conditions closely. If it’s unsafe or not enjoyable, we’ll reschedule you to the next safe window at no extra charge.

Q: What’s the difference between a shared and a private charter?
A: Shared trips let solo anglers or small parties split the boat and cost with others—great value and steady action. Private trips reserve the whole boat for your group, with a custom plan (targets, style, pace) and flexibility to change tactics on the fly.

Thank you, Alex! We’re so glad you and your wife had a blast out there with Tom and Will. The 3/4 day shared trips are a great way to experience offshore fishing in Key West—especially when the crew brings in a haul like that! Glad you enjoyed learning and getting hands-on. We look forward to having you back on board soon.
