If you’re looking for the absolute best fishing charter in Key West, book with Captain Antonio. Our family of four (my husband, our two adult children, and me) had the pleasure of fishing with him twice in one day—from 12:00–4:00 p.m. and again for a 6:00–8:00 p.m. sunset trip—and it was easily one of the highlights of our vacation.

Captain Antonio is everything you hope for in a guide: incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and genuinely dedicated to making sure everyone has a great experience. He worked nonstop to put us on fish, shared his expertise throughout the day, and made every minute enjoyable.

The most unforgettable moment came during our evening trip when our son hooked an incredible tarpon. The fight lasted nearly 45 minutes, keeping Captain Antonio well past our scheduled trip time. Not once did he rush us or make us feel like we were inconveniencing him. Instead, he encouraged our son the entire way, coached him through the fight, and celebrated with us when he finally landed the fish. That memory will stay with our family forever.

What impressed us even more was learning that Captain Antonio had already fished a morning charter from 8:00–12:00, took us from 12:00–4:00, squeezed in another group between trips, and then took us back out for our sunset charter. Most people would have been exhausted, but you would never have known it. His energy, professionalism, and positive attitude never faded for a second.

Captain Antonio clearly loves what he does, and it shows in every aspect of the experience. He goes above and beyond for his guests.

If I could give him 10 stars instead of 5, I absolutely would. Thank you, Captain Antonio, for an unforgettable day and for creating memories our family will treasure for a lifetime. We can’t wait to fish with you again the next time we’re in Key West! 🎣

It was an amazing evening of fishing. Tarpon bite late in the evening, so you can fish and watch the sunset all at the same time. The captain kept the lines baited up and ready to go! The trip is good for all ages. It is best to book an evening trip if you’re not up for fishing all day long.
All in all one of the best fishing trips you can go on for the price!! I would love to go again someday!!
Happy Fishing
happy happy fishing
I hope you catch a big one like we did!! me and my wife took a selfie of the sun going down after she caught that big fish. It looked like a postcard anyway happy Fishing nothing like Fishing I guess it’s the best sport that’s ever been invented. I raise my kids Fishing. We’ve been all over the world Fishing and this is some of the best.

Planned a last minute trip for my husbands 43rd birthday and couldnt have dreamed it to be better! We brought back 13 mahi (though it could have been ALOT more if i didnt feel so bad for killing more fish than we needed) Captain Tony knew exactly where to go we were surrounded by Mahi. After so much action and excitement we decided to switch it up and hit the sandbar and found some amazing shells followed by swimming with wild dolphins. It wad truly magical. Really appreciated how he took his time to clean the fish to make it perfect. The day was the perfect combination of everything! Very happy husband and wife!

Booked a 1/2 day charter as I wasn’t sure how my 10 year old son would do being offshore for the first time. Captain and crew were awesome, knowledgeable, and really love to fish. Started out for Mahi, but didn’t want to cooperate but no fault on effort. Captain and first mate gave it everything they had. Ended the day trying to catch snapper or barracuda, and my son reeled in a 36” fish which made his day and consequently my trip for him. Went out for the memories and caught a boat load. I would definitely recommend them and would go out again without hesitation.

Born and raised on Key West, 5th generation Captain Tony and Justin were the ideal guides for this trip. One rate, up to six people. We come from a fishing background so we knew the difference between a deep sea day trip and a couple hour Sunset fishing cruise. I’m sure I would be amazed how these guys would perform on a deep sea day trip. We just wanted a short, couple hour Sunset fishing trip with just my husband and I. The vessel was awesome, 38 ft with a head and plenty of gear. We had the whole vessel to ourselves. They know everything about Key West and surrounding Islands, so we got an awesome history cruise as well. More importantly, within a couple minutes out, we were catching barracuda. Oh what fun! I highly highly highly recommend Screaming lLnes. Captain Tony, you’re the best!
