Grouper season just started which is a nice bonus as well be fishing for yellowtail snapper, both are amazing table fare. If your interested in offshore fishing mahi and start to really be plentiful on the weed lines and floating debris with the bonus wahoo or sailfish. Also this month is the start of snapper spawning and mutton snapper, mangrove snapper and yellowtail snapper will be aggregating to spawn on the reefs and bring a lot of action aggressively biting. Options and endless come make some memories this summer!

We had an awesome day with Captain Aaron. He dialed up the perfect weather. We caught a bunch of fish, including this 25 pound bull.

Had an amazing experience with Matt! It was like hanging out with a friend. He gave us great tips and did everything to make sure we caught as many fish as possible! Would do again in a heartbeat! ❤️

Trip: Key West Fishing Adventure
★★★★★
Austin was a super nice guide and we enjoyed our trip. However, e had very little success as we caught only one Tarpon and then three sharks in four hours. I know not every trip is productive, but it was a very disappointing trip for what we paid.

My boys and I had a great fishing trip with Johnny and Cody. Great guys; they worked hard to get us in the best spots to catch fish. Would definitely seek them out for another trip when back in Marathon.

We had an absolutely unforgettable day on the water with Captain Mason! Our family of six—ranging from more "seasoned" to children—was treated to a private fishing excursion that truly exceeded all expectations. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the Mason made us feel completely at ease. He was incredibly accommodating, making sure each of us was comfortable, engaged, and having a great time. Whether it was adjusting for the kids' needs, helping with baiting hooks, or offering fishing tips to the beginners among us, his patience and positive energy never wavered. What stood out the most was how safe and inclusive he made the entire experience. Every member of the family felt like part of the crew. He kept a watchful eye on everything while still creating a laid-back, fun atmosphere. We never once felt rushed or out of place—just fully present and enjoying every moment. He also went above and beyond in every possible way—from extending our time a bit when the fish were biting to showing us local wildlife and secret spots only a seasoned pro would know. It truly felt like a one-of-a-kind adventure curated just for us. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly, and expertly guided day on the water. Can’t wait to book again next time we’re in town!
