Captain Rich Hastings 

great captain. worked hard. got me onto bones permit and tarpon. esdy to converse with well maintained gear.

Never fly fish this area before. Capt hasting did a great job of showing me how it works here. He got me to catch my first tarpon. Loved it. Will be back again next year with a little more experience

Great day on the water. A+ all around!

Rich was wonderful. I had booked two other charters with different captains and neither would respond to me and both canceled at the last second. Rich communicated with me pretty much immediately. He was kind and I felt as if he truly understood how important this trip was for us. We didn’t have as much luck with big fish as we would have liked but he kept trying different spots and that’s all I could’ve asked for. My wife also had a blast and I wasn’t sure that she would so that was huge for me. We saw a couple different sea turtles and a manatee as well as a shark, and the sunset was incredible. Overall very grateful we got to go with Rich and if we get the chance to go again I won’t hesitate to go with him again. Thank you man

We ended a 6 day vacation to the Florida Keys with a charter with Captain Richard Hastings. I am so glad that we found him! My son caught a few really big fish and we had a blast zipping around the back country on Richard’s awesome Xplor BoatWorks flats boat. Not only did Rich put my son on some awesome fish, but he gave him some great lessons in casting and reeling. Our time with Rich was invaluable for my son and I had a blast zipping around taking in the amazing scenery. Highly recommend!

Captain Rich and Tito were the best. Seriously stop looking for another charter in the area and book with Rich. We let him know we were after a Permit and he put us on the fish. Caught the fish of a lifetime and will be back! Thank you very much captain Rich!!

Great Captian. One of the best trips I’ve been on fly fishing.

Caught a 7 foot nurse shark. Had a couple of big tarpon on. Had a 100 pound tarpon on for about half an hour. Got it next to the boat and it took off again until a hammerhead took it. All in all it was a great experience. Captain rich was very good and knowledgeable with the area. He’s a good guide and I would use him again. Good time and fun.

Captain Rich was great with my boys (I got to stay back!) and gave them tips about fishing, snacks, water, and they caught a decent-sized shark. Rich was friendly and personable to me and the boys.
