Hands-off
Captain Ryan grew up along the river banks of the Rappahannock River in Virginia where he spent all his free time fishing for Bluegill and Bass. During his younger years he spent most of his summers in Boca Raton, Florida where he learned how to fish the salt. By age 10, Ryan was consistently catching 100+ lb. Tarpon and his love for the sport of fishing blossomed. Fast forward ten years to age 20, Ryan moved to Key West and has guided many of his clients to division winning tournaments where he has received many awards and accolades for “most Tarpon releases in 2017” and “Guide achievement”.

As a leading fishing charter in Key West, consider a day on the water with Ryan, a day with a leading expert in finding and catching an array of fish. Share your love of sport fishing with another angler dedicated to reeling in wins!
