My wife and I were visiting Key West and booked a 3 hour shark fishing charter with Captain Dan. From the outset, it was clear we had selected the right captain. His initial message to me “Are you ready to catch something big?” perfectly set the tone for what proved to be an exceptional experience.

We enjoyed an epic adventure, surrounded by sharks while landing impressive catches throughout the trip. We even had sharks pirouette through the air twice. The action was nearly constant, the only time we did not have a fish on the line was during our brief breaks. This was more catching than fishing, delivering exactly the thrilling outing we had hoped for.

Captain Dan’s expertise and enthusiasm really made the charter a blast for anyone chasing adventure and awesome memories out on the water.

We highly recommend Captain Dan to anyone looking for a great fishing adventure in Key West.

Our family had the absolute best fishing trip of our lives with Capt. Dan. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the excitement never stopped. We were out for four hours and had a shark on at least one line the entire time — no exaggeration.

The first shark of the day was a 7‑foot Bull Shark, and the fight lasted a full 1.5 hours. Watching that beast surface was a thrill none of us will ever forget. After that, the action just kept coming. We landed multiple 7‑plus‑foot Lemon Sharks and even a sleek, hard‑fighting Blacktip Shark. These fish were absolutely incredible to see up close.

What made the trip truly exceptional was Capt. Dan himself. His knowledge, energy, and passion for what he does turned a great day into an unforgettable one. He made sure everyone in the family was involved, safe, and having fun. Thanks to him, this became the highlight of our vacation — hands down the best trip we’ve ever taken.

If you’re looking for nonstop action, unforgettable memories, and a captain who genuinely cares about giving you the experience of a lifetime, book a trip with Capt. Dan. You won’t regret it.

You want big fish? big fights? nonstop action? Then this is THEY charter. Captain Dan was the perfect guide and knew all the spots. we fought fish all over 100 pounds and one bull shark for almost 2 hours in the pouring rain, comig im at well over 250lb. Felt like deadliest catch out there and made for a unbelievable memory. once the rain rolled through, it was nonstop action from there. giant grouper and mega sharks were all around the boat. Captn Dan would throw a line in an instant instantly would get hit. This is the REAL DEAL. had the opportunity to land a 500 pound grouper but got off still an unbelievable trip. The knowledge Captn Dan had was unbelievable from taking us to different rock beds, hard bottom sand, and deep water channels. He knew it all and knew how to get on fish. me and my girlfriend had quite possibly the most memorable experience we’ve had to date and she even got onto her very first fish. Sharks, grouper, and everything in between is what you want in a Key West charter and this is where you find it. Go get you some.

If we didn’t have pictures, no one would believe it! 3 hour trip as follows:
Expert local Captain Dan put us onto the best fights of our Key West trip, hands down. Hooked a big shark for a long fight, hooked up on a nice cobia mid shark fight. The kicker though, after a great fight already in the bag hooked right up again, but with an awesome Goliath Grouper! If you wanna have a kickass trip in KW backcountry, this is your guy. 👍
