We had an incredible time out on the water with Captain Joe and Brian. In the days leading up to the charter, Captain Joe shared that the fishing report offshore had been very poor with very few fish being caught. Knowing this, he helped us create a revised plan which would still allow us to catch a large quantity of fish. The plan worked perfectly, and we started the day with dozens of good sized cero mackerel and a couple false albacore. Thanks to the transperency of Captain Joe, we were able to change plans and have an extremely successful day that otherwise would not have happened. We then headed offshore, knowing the chaces of us catching would be very poor. Despite this, we managed to still bring in a blackfin tuna before heading back in for the day. The skill and knowledge of both Capatin Joe and his first mate Brian absolutely made this day as successful as possible. They helped us outfish most if not all the surrounding boats and shared their invaluable local knowledge and tips. The trip was the best experience we have had on a charter and I would only want to fish with him here in the future.

Captain Joe and first mate Adam were fantastic.  It was a beautiful day on the water in Key West! Our first bite was a sailfish, got to see him but he spit the hook. then we caught 2 blackfin tuna which was on our bucketlist. Then to end the day my brother in law landed a beast of a mahi on a day when fish were not biting very frequently.
Great crew whom actually cared that we were there and treated us like friends right from the start.
Will definitely be booking them again!

Captain Joe and Bryan were awesome!  they were knowledgeable about the area and knew where to go for our best chance to catch fish!  Great time was had by all!! For the true sport fisherman or the party just looking to catch fish Captain Joe and the Jolly Roger II is right for you! Decide what you want to fish befor you go, but the crew will guide you either way! this was an excellent charter and we will definitely recommend to others!

We went out with Cap Joe and Brian on a less than ideal weather day, but it was the only day we could fish while in KW.  The wind had been blowing hard for several days and still blowing the day we went out.  Despite the weather, we stiil had a great time. The boat was very comfortable even in rough seas and they even managed to put us on some fish. Definitely recommend these guys even if you think the weather is not ideal.  We will be back!

We had an amazing experience on the Jolly Roger II with Captain Joe and First Mate Brian. Both of them were incredibly easygoing, informative, and made the entire trip enjoyable from start to finish.

Captain Joe got us on the fish quickly — we ended up catching 7 mahi-mahi, 2 barracuda, and 2 tuna. Brian worked nonstop the entire time, from setting us up at the start all the way through bringing the lines in as we headed back to shore. He truly goes above and beyond.

Brian also recommended taking our fresh catch to Half Shell Raw Bar, and we’re so glad we did. They cooked our fish for just $15.99 per pound, served with two sides. We had half blackened and half fried — everything was absolutely delicious.

Highly recommend Captain Joe, Brian, and the Jolly Roger II for anyone looking for a fun, successful, and memorable fishing trip!
