  Had the best time!!!

  Full Day Trip on September 4, 2026 • 4 adults

  The crew was the best. The Captain did a fantastic job reading the Gulf Stream and knowing where tge fish were. Tge deck hand (Caleb) worked his butt off for my family and I. he kept us entertained and was patient with some of the members who had never fished before. My son caught a betiful Wahoo, which is being mounted. we are definitely coming back.

  Experience of a lifetime

  Extended Full Day Trip on April 29, 2026 • 2 adults

  Not every day you catch a white marlin! Truly an experience of a lifetime. Capt Woody and Talon worked non stop to put on some awesome fish. Marlin, Tuna, Mahi, Sailfish and shark. Awesome trip! Will certainly be back next year.

  Thank you for the incredible review, Matthew! Catching a white marlin truly is the experience of a lifetime, and we’re thrilled you got to be part of such an epic day on the water. A lineup like Marlin, Tuna, Mahi, Sailfish, and shark all in one extended full-day trip is what offshore fishing dreams are made of. Captain Woody and Talon work extremely hard to stay on the fish and make every trip memorable, so we appreciate you recognizing the nonstop effort they put in throughout the day. Trips like this are exactly why we recommend extended full-day offshore charters for anglers looking for the ultimate Key West deep sea fishing experience—you never know what’s going to show up next. We truly appreciate you fishing with us and look forward to seeing you again next year for another adventure! And don’t forget-go to BiteBackBrand and under Local Legends, go to Cowboy to get your t-shirts and other gear.

  Full Day Trip on December 27, 2025 • 6 adults • 2 children

  Amazing experience with this charter. They c ustomized a trip for little ones to catch some bait fish and then swapped out for older anglers and some bigger game fish. Frank and Will were an awesome team and got us on fish early and worked hard to keep the rods bent and the lines tight. Total professionals and highly recommended. Enjoying fresh grouper tacos as I write this review!

  Pryor, thank you for the outstanding review and for trusting us with a full-day on the Irish Cowboy. Love hearing the plan worked—starting the little ones on steady bait action, then shifting gears so the older anglers could tangle with bigger game. Capt. Frank and Mate Will pride themselves on keeping the rods bent and the boat organized so families can just fish and have fun. Fresh grouper tacos afterward is exactly how we like to see the day end! Next time you’re back, we can tailor another private charter for the whole crew—or, if you want a different kind of thrill, our shark adventures (inshore, reef, or deepwater) are a blast. And if you want to mix it up, we also run fishing & sandbar combo trips to cool off at the islands after the bite. Also, if you want a keepsake from the day, go to BiteBackBrand and under Local Legends, go to Cowboy to get your t-shirts and other gear. —Michelle & the Cowboy Cowgirl Sportfishing team Helpful Q&A Q: What’s the best trip for families with mixed ages/experience? A: A 4–8 hour private charter lets us start with easy action (bait, snapper, jacks) and then step up to larger targets as attention spans and conditions allow. Tell us your goals and we’ll build the day around them. Q: Can we keep fish and have it cooked locally? A: Yes—within Florida regs. We’ll fillet your catch at the dock and recommend nearby “cook-your-catch” restaurants so dinner is handled.

  6 hour trip

  3/4 Day Trip (AM) on May 15, 2026 • 4 adults

  Group of 4 had a great time. A little slow catching at first but ended with 3 200lbs sharks, a 9ft Eel, and a 12ft shark that made us work hard to reel in. This trip is good for the whole family

  Thank you for the great review! That’s what fishing is all about—sometimes you have to adapt to the conditions and switch things up to turn the trip into a success. We’re glad the crew was able to make the adjustment and get your group into some exciting action after a slower start. Three large sharks, a 9-foot eel, and a 12-foot fish that put up a serious fight definitely sounds like a memorable day on the water and a great experience for the whole family. Those unexpected trips often end up being the ones people remember most. Our captains work hard to read the conditions each day and do whatever they can to keep the rods bent and the trip exciting, so we appreciate you recognizing that effort. And don’t forget—go to BiteBackBrand and under Local Legends, go to Cowboy to get your t-shirts and other gear. Hope to see your group back out with us again soon!
