  Amazing - life long memories made!

  4 Hour Shallow Reefs (10-50ft) on July 24, 2026 • 4 adults

  My friend and our two 13 year old sons booked a 4 hour trip with Captain Damian at “Catchin In The Keys”. It was a great day. Captian Damian served us magnificently from the beggining of our trip until the end. We brought home 23 fish and threw back about 15. Capt Damian kept each line baited and in the water as much as possible. He also interacted intentionally with our sons - which was very important. When I asked my son- “How did you like the trip?” He responded - “I loved it - I really liked the Captain!” Exceeeded all expectations - recommend highly!! .

  Best Trip and Best Captain

  2 Hour Nearshore Mangroves AM Trip. on June 8, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  Damian was first class in every aspect. His boat was new and in great condition, he was welcoming and friendly, and he provided exceptional service throughout the entire trip. We did the 4-hour trip out to the reef beds and he had us on fish almost the entire time. I have three boys (ages 19-10) and they all three had a blast, saying, “it was the best trip ever.”. We caught snapper, hogfish, porgies, and jacks. My youngest son even hooked a mackerel and fought it for a few minutes before it cut the line. We had barracuda on the hook on two separate occasions so there was plenty of activity for the entire trip. We will definitely come fishing here again, but I will never use another captain other than Damian. I have neen on chartered trips before, and “Catching in the Keys” is on a different level of service. Do yourself a favor and book with them.

  Awesome Key Largo Fishing Experience!! Great Captain!!

  3 Hour Scenic Fishing Tour. PM Trip on April 20, 2026 • 2 adults

  We had an incredible experience with Catchin In The Keys Charters in Key Largo—hands down the best fishing charter we’ve ever been on in the Upper Keys. My son and I have been on several fishing charters, and this one truly stood out above the rest. Captain Damian was outstanding. He worked tirelessly the entire trip, constantly adjusting and making sure we were in the best spots. You can tell he really knows Key Largo fishing—we were on fish consistently, and it felt like he always knew exactly where to go. Luckily the fish were hungry, but just as important, the captain knew how to find them. If you’re looking for a top-notch fishing charter in Key Largo or the Upper Keys, I highly recommend Catchin In The Keys Charters. Professional, hardworking, and an all-around great experience. We’ll definitely be back!

  Great Fishing Trip

  4 Hour Trip –Backcountry Everglades on February 26, 2026 • 2 adults

  We went fishing the last week of February, soon after a cold front had come through and cooled the water enough to make the fish lethargic and scattered. But Captain Damian took us to a spot where he knew fish would be, and the first cast it was “fish on “. We caught mangroves snapper and Jack during the afternoon. At the end of the day, I unexpectedly tied into a large black tip shark that was estimated to be between 6 and 7 feet long and weighing over 100 pounds. It took about half an hour to get it to the boat, extending our time on the water. On Damian’s recommendation, we took fileted snapper to a local restaurant for a great meal to end the day. If you are looking for a great fishing trip with a captain who knows his stuff, look no further. Next time we are in the Keys I will be fishing with Damian Estrada.

  Perfect scenic fishing day

  3 Hour Scenic Fishing Tour. PM Trip on May 26, 2026 • 3 adults

  Captain Damian was a great host for this fishing trip. We are from Europe and wanted to experience some Keys fishing action and he definitely did not let us down. He knew all the best spots and was so so helpful, working the whole time without rest, making sure we had the best experience ever. Huge thanks to Captain Damian for this amazing day. If we ever come back to the Keys, we will for sure be reaching out to him again. 10/10, would honestly highly recommend! Of course, plenty of fish were caught as well :)
