  4 hour trip with Captain Dez

  4 Hour Reef and Wreck Trip on October 12, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 child

  We had a great 4 hour trip with Captain Dez and Mate Jose. Dez had us on the fish within 20-25 minutes of leaving the dock, more time was spent fishing than boating which is great. Jose worked the boat great and kept bait on the lines and lines in the water. Dez and Jose were very knowledgeable and great at showing the boys how to hook specific fish, Dez even a made us some Sashimi out of one of the 25 rainbow runners we caught which my boys and nephew thought was cool. They boat and equipment are top notch and very accommodating. Also a must recommended by Dez was taking the catch to lazy Days South for dinner and having it cooked up lazy days style they will even cook multiple ways and share it family style. I will definitely recommend Hennessy to anyone I know out here in Colorado that is visiting the keys.

  BEST day, BEST experience!

  6 Hour Reef and Wreck Trip on November 15, 2025 • 4 adults

  Dez and Jose helped make my dreams come true today. Deep sea fishing has been at the top of my bucket list all of my life and today they made this experience the best day of my life. they found the BEST spots to catch the most amazing Cobia, snappers ans even hooked a few sharks, not a dull moment aboard the boat. within seconds we were catching fish and seeing amazing sea life like turtles, sharks, manatee, dolphins, and various amazing and even exotic dangerous fish. hands down the best experience we have had. thank you to our guides and their knowledge of the sea.

  Targeting Snapper

  4 Hour Reef and Wreck - (PM) trip on November 7, 2025 • 4 adults

  Our original plan was to focus on Yellowtail & Mutton snapper and then go after bigger fish. We got several Yellowtails immediately, however offshore was a little rough and 2 people in our group got uncomfortable. So the Captain took us the the Gulf side, which was very calm. We loaded up on big Mangrove & Lane Snappers and had great fun. Captain Dez & Mate Brian were awesome and really cool guys. Turned out to be great day and I will book them again for my offshore trip on a calmer day.

  Choppy day but the bite was on

  4 Hour Reef and Wreck - (PM) trip on March 9, 2026 • 6 adults

  Captain Erik worked hard to make sure our party of 6 was well taken care of. Very positive and upbeat vibe, saw plenty of fish and even saw a giant loggerhead! Kerry Hennessey runs a tight ship and takes care of his customers; thanks for a great day of fishing!
