Captain Travis provides an absolutely amazing light-tackle fishing experience. From the start, he’s extremely responsive and takes the time to ask what you want to do before the trip. He truly tailors the day around your goals and skill level.

The Everglades is an absolute playground, with tons of light-tackle species available year-round. His boat, Shallow Water Sport, is a fishing machine—cruising around 35 mph in as little as 6 inches of water. Honestly, the ride through Everglades National Park alone was worth the cost of the trip, even if we never touched a rod.

The boat is very roomy with a stable hull, allowing multiple people to fish comfortably at the same time. Captain Travis genuinely enjoys putting his customers on fish, runs hard when it counts, and isn’t afraid to try new techniques or locations to make the day successful. Most importantly, he teaches along the way—sharing the techniques and styles that have worked for him. Unless your a seasoned very you will leave a better angler than when you arrived.

If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, passionate captain who delivers a top-tier Everglades fishing experience, you won’t be disappointed. 🎣

We had an absolutely incredible time fishing with Captain Travis in the backcountry off Islamorada. This trip was beyond anything we expected.
I caught my first redfish, which we cooked for Christmas Eve, along with seven mangrove snapper—all amazing fish. We also caught some jackfish, which Captain Travis helped us use to hook a shark, and that experience was unforgettable.
Captain Travis truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. He is incredibly down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and more than willing to accommodate. From start to finish, he made us feel safe, confident, and comfortable, and it was clear we were in excellent hands the entire trip.
My fiancé and I highly recommend Captain Travis to anyone looking for an authentic, exciting, and memorable fishing experience in the Keys.
Thank you so much, Travis — we’ll definitely see you again soon! 🎣🌊

Captain Travis provided us with an unforgettable fishing experience! We had a great day in the Everglades backcountry and were busy catching fish all day. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to catch all the inshore species and have a great time doing it. He was very helpful, informative, and is a great guide for any angler from beginner to experienced.

We’ve taken many fishing trips in the past and Travis stands out for many reasons. He has the right boat to get you where you need to go as well as quality gear and the fishing knowledge to back it up. Travis is also very personable and cares about the customer experience. He values your time on the water while accommodating anglers of any skill level. We enjoyed Travis so much that two of us decided to come back the next day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Thank you again Travis!!

Captain Travis was super friendly and very accommodating. He had a great selection of lures and live bait. He truly made an effort to ensure that we caught fish. My son and I had a wonderful time and Travis prepared the fish for us at the end of our trip as well.  We had fresh catch for dinner!
