Captain John of Key West Florida is your one-stop shop for all things Florida Keys fishing!

Captain David did an amazing job I asked for an out of season Tarpon trip . He got hooked up after a few spots. Then we went to deep water and caught a nice Mutton Snapper.

Had a great time, went with captain David Larson, caught some snapper and a shark. Would 100% go out and do it again. I am not knowledgeable of fishing but the captain helped, taught very well, and was very professional.

Captain David Larson was nice, professional and best of all, he put us on the fish! I did the 4 hour charter and we caught barracuda, massive bull shark, trigger fish, grouper, and blue fish. By the end of the 4 hours I was happy and exhausted. Captain David was experienced, helpful and a genuine good guy.

This wasn't our first fishing trip in Key West but it was one of the best, Zack was a great captain, we had an awesome time. While other boats in the vicinity had limited luck Zack had us on fish all day. I can highly recommend Captain Experiences you will not regret it, five stars all the way, thanks again from the Charleston, SC. foursome.

We had an amazing time on our trip. Our first trip with another company was canceled that morning and I was able to book another trip the same day. The lady at Captain Experiences helped me find something for my family. Then we absolutely loved the fishing and Captain Zac. He helped everyone catch a fish! I would definitely recommend!
