This guy is the best! He was laid back, knowledgeable, and totally committed to giving my family the best experience. My kids even ate the fish for lunch they enjoyed the trip so much. I would highly recommend especially for a trip with kids! We will definitely be back!

    Wonderful family experience!

    4 Hour Reef and Wreck Trip4 adults2 children

    My wife, kids, and I recently went fishing with Captain Dez and First Mate Mike. The four of us had a blast and caught a lot of mangrove snapper, yellowtail snapper, and lane snapper. Both Dez and Mike were super helpful, wonderful with our kids, and were incredibly friendly and supportive throughout the whole morning. Dez cleaned our fish at the end of our trip, and we had it cooked for lunch that afternoon. Highly recommend them for a family trip.

    4 hour trip with Captain Dez

    4 Hour Reef and Wreck Trip5 adults1 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 Trip4 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) trip4 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.

    Response from Captain

    Looking forward to getting you out again. Thanks for choosing Hennessy Sportfishing

    Captain Dez is awesome!

    6 Hour Offshore Mahi Mahi & Tuna2 adults

    Despite the weather not cooperating, captain Dez pushed through. He did an awsome job taking care of our family. We ended up pulling in some mahi and a couple of nice black fin tuna. Captain Dez is hard working, knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time and cant wait for our next trip!
