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! 🎣
