    My wife and I and 13 year old son went on a six hour spearfishing tour with Torre and it was by far the highlight of our trip to the Keys. We ended up with a fridge full of lobster, snapper, cero mackerel and yellow jack and we turned it into sashimi, ceviche, lobster macaroni and beer battered fish. We saw hammerheads, goliath groupers and sea turtles. My wife and I had never spear fished before but we had a great time; much better than fishing. Torre was an amazing guide and clearly knew where to go and what to look for. Next time we’re in the Keys, this will be our first stop.

    Tom was a delight to be with for the day. He made it an pleasure with five (5) beginners. We tickled and netted more then we could eat for dinner for two nights. My family would recommend Tom to anyone.

    Tom was great! He got our beginner group on lobsters and even though it was late in the season, we still caught a good amount of keepers. We inshore fished for a bit after we had enough water time. Fish were slow to bite but Tom worked hard to find hot spots so we could get on the fish. Great conversion, cool guy and overall we had a blast. I’d definitely recommend a trip with Captain Tom.
