Trophy King Fish

Half Day Trip (PM)3 adults

Good boat. Great captain. Charlie was super easy to communicate with. Chill and not watching the clock, only the sunset. We had a great time. Super knowledgeable. Knew how to approach every scenario. Hooked easy dinner with over 40 yellow tail snappers 15 keepers. Blue runners hit the live well and snagged us some more action trolling the ledge. Hit a good 30lbs King after a few bites and Cap gaffed it first shot bringing it on board for a great ending to an already great trip. Will 100% book again.

Response from Captain

Thank you so much for the kind review like I said it’s not about business. It’s about making friends and you guys were awesome. We had a great day. Hope to do it again soon.  and of course Super appreciate the videos.

    Captain Charlie is Great!

    Evening tarpon or sunset cruise • 4 adults

    Charlie was extremely communicative and helpful leading up to the trip. We had a great time tarpon fishing and even though we werent able to land one, my family had a great time and really enjoyed the sunset and the experience overall.

    A simple fishing trip saved the day!

    Half Day – Fish and Snorkel (AM) • 3 adults

    The Florida Keys are currently experiencing a large influx of sargassum seaweed 😩....I walked blisters on my feet in Key West....the few pristine beaches that exist on these coral reef islands generally sucked.🤬....But Captain Charly saved the entire week!!! A great catch of of grouper and snapper with a beautiful bonus snorkeling stop at Alligator Reef.....I highly recommend this laid back charter, where the captain becomes a friend by the end of the trip!!!!

    BEST KEYS EXPERIENCE!!!

    6 Hour Trip – Combo Upon Request • 6 adults

    Captain Charlie and Heather were amazing! Their communication leading up to the trip was stellar and made getting prepared for the trip a breeze. We booked this super last minute for my husband and I and our 4 teens went out for a combo fishing/snorkeling trip for 6 hours. Capt. Charlie really knew his spots and his fish!! We caught a ton of fish and had a blast catching them. He was super patient with our kids (way more patient than we are lol) and was just super fun to be around. He took us to a really cool lighthouse and reef to snorkel where we saw a lot of beautiful marine life. We have been in Florida for over a week, went to Universal Studios and this by far was our favorite thing we have done!! We will be back for sure!

    Great captain

    Evening tarpon or sunset cruise • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Charlie was awesome!! We had a great time with the sun set trip. We change it up on him last minute because I wanted my kids to catch fish so we decided not to target tarpon. First cast fish on !! We caught around 16 fish in about 2.5 hours and he recommended a place to cook our fish up. I recommend any to take a longer trip. When you have awesome free spirited guide like captain charle you need more time on the water. Such a great time I will becoming back.
