The Gamer – 25' 

We had a great time out on The Gamer 25 with Captain Austin this past mid-March! The weather definitely didn’t make things easy—high winds had us working against the conditions, and while our original goal was to hook into some bigger sport fish like tarpon, cobia, or even wahoo, luck just wasn’t on our side for those. That said, Captain Austin made sure we still had an awesome experience. We stayed on the fish and ended up bringing in a really fun mix: scamp, Nassau grouper, mangrove snapper, lane snapper, and mutton snapper. The highlight of the day, though, had to be reeling in a 5-foot lemon shark—easily the most exciting fight of the trip! What really stood out was Captain Austin himself. He was incredibly accommodating, listened to exactly what we wanted out of the trip, and did everything he could to make it happen despite the tough conditions. His attitude, effort, and knowledge made all the difference. Even without landing our original targets, we walked away with a fun, memorable day on the water. Highly recommend Captain Austin and The Gamer 25—we’ll definitely be back!

my sons - ages 21,19, and 15 - went out with Austin on an afternoon trip. we were worried that they wouldn’t catch any fish because people have been telling us that the fish normally bite in the morning. But, the boys had so much fun pulling in all kinds of fish for the whole trip! They said Austin was an amazing guide and was super helpful. Making sure they had a good time. Our family of Giants had enough fish, for nearly four meals at the end of the trip!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Fishing Experience with Captain Ariel If you’re looking for a first-class fishing experience, Captain Ariel is the real deal. From the moment you step on the boat, you can tell you’re in the hands of a true professional who knows the water, the fish, and how to deliver an incredible day on the water. Captain Ariel is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about what he does. He puts you on the fish, explains what’s happening and why, and makes sure everyone on board—whether beginner or experienced—has an amazing time. His attention to safety, detail, and comfort is top-notch, and his boat and equipment are spotless and well maintained. What really sets Captain Ariel apart is his attitude. He genuinely wants you to have a great experience, not just catch fish. He’s personable, easygoing, and professional, which makes the trip fun, relaxed, and memorable. This is the kind of charter you talk about long after you’re back on shore.

We had an amazing experience fishing out of Marathon with Big Game Charter and Captain Ariel Medero. He put us on fish all day and made sure we landed plenty, capturing great photos along the way. The boat was very comfortable and well maintained, and the gear was top-notch—everything you’d want for a smooth, successful day on the water. The entire trip was pleasant, relaxed, and truly enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend Big Game Charter with Captain Ariel for anyone looking for a great fishing charter in the Keys

If you’ve made it here, I’d recommend booking this trip now! Austin provided our family of 4 with a personalized and perfect fishing experience in the Keys. Caught lots of fish & he navigated less than ideal wind conditions with ease. Whether experienced or novice, young or esteemed, Austin will tailor to your needs. Happy fishing!!
