In 1991, Captain Joe moved to Key West from the Tampa Bay area. An accomplished pocket billiards player, he’s named his boats “The Hustler” ever since. Today, with an immaculate 32’ Whitewater center console, boasting 600hp and equipped with all the latest safety and navigation devices, he can get you the most fishing and snorkeling time for the best value. As a longtime resident, with 40 years of Florida fishing experience, he knows the hot spots, secluded lagoons and all the tourist advice you’ll need to make your Key West experience unforgettable!

Master Mate Destiny and Joe can produce amazing gyotaku paintings of your actual fish to preserve the memory of your trip indefinitely.

We had an amazing time with "Off the Charts" charter and Captain Joe was fantastic! He has a very easy going, friendly personality and it was easy to see he aims to please his customers. He was also extremely patient with my kids and seemed to enjoy teaching them some of his fishing techniques. While my boys have been fishing their whole lives, this was their first time trolling. They loved every minute, especially reeling in their fist Mahi Mahi! I was very satisfied and would highly recommend him for your fishing adventure. We may have just been another charter family for him, but he will live infinitely in our Key West vacation memories!

Great trip. Great captain. We were on the meat within the first half hour of the trip and caught our limit. He did an awesome job cleaning the fish that it was ready to be cooked when we got home. Very personable with lots of knowledge.
