We took a 10 hour charter with Mark and Chris and it was an excellent time. They made sure that both of our boys got to catch a shark and they each got several Mahi. I would definitely recommend them!

My son, friend and i went out on Cowboy II with Captain Mark and Best Mate Ever Anthony. The Captain has eagle eyes and Anthony moves like an octopus, neither would give up until we CRUSHED IT. 2 Black Tail Tuna and 9 Mahi later we were happy as fishing guys could be. I am happy to recommend them for your trip with the guys. Enjoy Paul Cella

Captain Nels always knows how to find the fish, and not just your average sizes but mammoths and giants. Great crew and a great boat too, we loved the couches inside to catch a quick break from the sun.

Forget that we didn't catch many fish, and the few we did weren't the fish we went after. The boat, although seaworthy, needed lots of maintenance on the interior. Dirty, very worn, stuff laying around, windows dirty. When we approached the boat, the Captain was upset that he hadn't been fueled yet (no big deal, because it got done), didn't want to use the material supplied to me to pay, spent the entire trip topside not conversing with us, and disappeared immediately after docking in a personal vehicle. The Crew handled all the fishing and spent no time talking to us. Just handed a pole to someeone when it needed to be brought in. Crew did a very good jpb cleaning the few fish we did catch and recommended a restaurant to cook them. I guess for the money spent, I expected some human interaction and discussion of what was going on and how we could help. Our fault? We were all new to this experience, and that was known before the day we went out. We didn't really even know to expect, but likely will not do something like this again.

Had a great trip with a few friends. Trolling for the fish we initially wanted to catch was limited due to seaweed, but the captains were knowledgeable and adjusted for the conditions, and did their best to put us on some nice fish. It was clear they wanted us to catch fish and did everything they could to make our trip fun.

My sister Tracy and I went out fishing on the Sanctuary. The captain, Mark and his mate, Niles we spectacular. We had a fabulous day, caught yellowtail snapper, mackerel and mutton snapper, Niles and Mark were patient and kind, played great music and put us on the fish! We caught 12 in all, had to throw the groupers back (not in season). Then Niles cleaned the fish and we took 1/3 to a restaurant which cooked them for us, yummy. The rest were share with Captain Mark and Niles. I would highly recommend this team. Thank you guys.

My family and I had an awesome time with. Capt. Phil. The boat was clean and no fishy smell. He took us to a spot that has non stop action catching mahi mahi Dophin and a barracuda. He was friendly, super chill and an expert at sea. My kids love him. We definitely will ring him up next time we're in key west. Thank you! We had a blast at sea today.
