Great Time with Captain Chris

6 Hour reef/wreck

This was a great fishing trip. Chris took us out into the Atlantic and also through the channels to see the beautiful houses. We will be back soon for another trip.

    Great Trip!!! Couldn’t ask for any better !!!

    6 Hour reef/wreck2 adults

    What a fishing trip!!! Just like we had dreamed about. My son wanted to catch a huge Mahi Mahi (Dolphin) and that’s exactly what happened. Captain Chris explained how the fishing trip would go and what signs on the water we would be looking for. Within the first hour of searching for signs of Mahi Mahi we landed a huge 54 inch Bull. It took 17 minutes to reel in and Captain Chris guided my son the whole way. It was the experience of a lifetime and it didn’t end there!!! We ended up catching a huge nurse shark, many yellowtail snapper, a couple remora and another I can’t remember the name of.

    Legendary captain

    4 Hour (AM) inshore/reef4 adults1 child

    Captain Christopher is an absolute legend. If you're looking to land big fish in the keys this is the boat you want to take. We wanted to do some bottom fishing and were not disappointed. At one point we nearly lost a large black grouper. The captain was starting to gear up to jump in after him! He wasn't about to let us lose that catch. Highly recommend this boat if you want to catch some monster fish with perhaps the most legendary boat captain in the keys.

    Awesome Trip with Captain Chris!

    4 hr (PM)

    From the very start of the trip, Chris was great with communication and setting up our group to be successful. I had six high school students who wanted to fish with two adults, so he was absolutely fantastic and making sure we had a great experience. He spent his morning catching us bait so that when we arrived for our 1 o'clock arrival time, we were already set up for success. When on the boat, he was friendly, personal, and related with all of us. He made sure that we had everything we needed when we needed it. At the first location, we ended up catching some mackerel and snapper for supper, and then headed out to deeper Waters to try for some tuna and sailfish. He put us in the right spot and it wasn't long before the tuna were boiling at the surface and we had multiple fish on at one time. He did not get frustrated at us when our fishing skills were lacking. Instead, he instructed us and helped us with the next hook set, helping us be successful....which translated into a bunch of happy customers! I cannot recommend him enough if you are in the Marathon area or Big Pine Key area. Will definitely be looking him up again when we come back!

    Great Charter!

    6 hr bridge/inshore2 adults

    Captain Chris was great. He asked us what we wanted to fish for right off the batt and then he took us to rhe fish. The boat was nice and spacious and handles the inland and off shore waves well. I wanted big fish and that is what I cought. Got two goliath grouper and two sharks! Chris was very easy to talk with and answered all the questions we had. Was a very fun day on the water. Highly recommend the 6hr trip.

    Excellent Day…we’ll be back!

    6 Hour reef/wreck2 adults

    My son (16) and I had a great day on the water with Captain Chris. My son wanted to get on tarpon. Although it wasnt the greatest time of year dor tarpon, TARPON ON! Unfortunately they threw the hook but we witnessed some amazing aerials and got some great video. After a few hours, Captain Chris took us out to a wreck and we werw constantly on fish - Blue Runners, Jack Crevalle, Baracuda, and a Goliath Grouper. It was a great adventure and we’ll definitely be back! Thank you, Captain Chris!
