    Fantastic 2nd Family Trip

    6 Hour Trip – Offshore5 adults3 children

    This was our second trip with Captain Kevin and we had an awesome family fishing trip! Even though the mahi weren’t cooperating that day, Captain never gave up and worked hard to put us on fish. He took us to a reef where we ended up catching a ton of yellowtail snapper, and everyone had a blast. The first mate was absolutely fantastic, especially with our kids. He was patient, encouraging, and always there to help bait hooks, untangle lines, and celebrate every catch. He made sure the kids were involved and having fun the entire trip. You can tell this crew genuinely cares about giving their guests a great experience, no matter what the conditions are. We’d definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun family fishing charter!

    Great Day on the water

    6 Hour Trip – Offshore6 adults1 child

    Captain Kevin and first Nate Scott were extremely helpful during the entire trip. Helped us fill the fis box with over 40+ yellowtail snapper before 10 AM and then we went out running and gunning formahi-mahi. Even though it was a little early in the season, he was still able to locate a few for us. very professional. Very friendly. Was even nice enough to loan us a electronic seasick watch that kept one of our anglers in the action the whole day. highly recommend if you’re in Tavener and want to catch Fish. This is the guy to go to without a doubt!!! Even cleaned our catch!

    Amazing day

    6 Hour Trip – Offshore2 adults

    Capt Kevin and first mate, Derek Warner, absolutley killed it today. They were extremely friendly and professional from the moment we met at the dock until we returned. They clearly know the area well and were very engaging all day. It was my wifes first off shore trip and they delivered big time while exceeding all expectations. They worked hard all day and consistently kept moving to find the fish, which they delivered on. We finished the day with blistered hands and tired arms. we’ll be back to fish again with them soon.

    Incredible day on the water

    6 Hour Trip – Offshore3 adults

    We went out in fairly rough seas for a half day trip but despite the chop came back with a boat full of mahi mahi. It took a minute to locate the fish. Once Captain Kevin put us on them it was virtually nonstop! He is an excellent captain, and first mate Chris kept our lines in the water and seaweed free. The bonus was getting them to bite on light tackle when we got into the schools. Really appreciate and recommend Salty Morada if you are looking for a great trip in Islamorada!
