    Captain Don was awesome! If you are truly wanting to get out and do some fishing he is your guy. He got us on fish right away and was very clear on what he wanted us to do. My Father, brother and me had a really good day hanging out with him. We would do it again.

    Tony and Scotty were very courteous and did their best to get us into fish. Weather was not in our favor as it was cold and water temp was cold. Landed a 6 foot sail fish, some Atlantic spades and a rainbow racer! Great day on the water!!

    Don, Thank you so much for the amazing fishing experience! From the beginning to the end it was wonderful!!! Thank you for letting us switch out your reel to a lefty and then teaching me how to use it!!!!! Thank you for your patience with me on an open face reel! I wouldn’t have caught the Lane Snapper without you beside me! You gave me the boost to get it done! I can’t believe the huge fish that Eric caught! You even taught us and guided us how to fish for bait! We tried to absorb all of you amazing knowledge! Your Captain guidance and interaction was unlike no other fishing extravaganza we have been on! “If you want to catch fish and be with a experienced fisherman , then go with Captain Don!” Listen and Learn! He is the BEST! Thank you so much from, The Zinn’s

From the great time on the boat, excellent gear, the best captain and first mate I’ve been around in 30 years of fishing, and let’s not forget TONS OF FISH!!!! If you are planning a trip here look no further than Capt Joel!!!! AMAZING !!!!!

    Pete and his wife could not have been any nicer and their boat was perfect. Pete kept us on the water longer than our trip was scheduled for trying to put some fish in the boat (we caught 1 tile fish and 3 vermillion that were just over 12 inches) I know the captain cannot control the bite as I have been on 100’s of charters however we fished with one rod the entire day! It was an electric reel since we were fishing in 600 plus feet of water. I spent almost the entire day watching my girlfriend dropping her line down and flipping the switch to bring it back up. That certainly is not what we had in mind when we booked the trip. We should have had two rods to fish with and moved into the reefs for some snapper, yellow tail or something but to deep drop the entire with one rig and zero activity was really disappointing.

    Jason C. with Pete R. of Islamorada, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Pete and Chisty were great. Although we did not catch any keepers, we had a great time trying

    William I. with Pete R. of Islamorada, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Casey went above and beyond today to put us on the fish, as well as being very accommodating! His boat is top of the line, and he has all nice new poles and reels, as well as everything on his boat is impeccably clean. You will have a relaxing experience with a captain who is extremely knowledgeable of all aspects of fishing and keeps you moving and busy for your time on the water. We knew right away once we met captain Casey at the marina we booked with the right captain because he is extremely professional, courteous, and as I stated earlier, extremely accommodating. For me personally, I ended landing the largest fish I have ever caught before which was really exciting. At the end of our trip, he did filet all of our fish and did a very good professional job, which was very nice so we did not have to do that. His first mate today was his cousin Luke, and he was very attentive to us, the rods, fish, upkeep with the boat, and anything you could imagine. Overall, we have found our main “guy” for fishing when we visit down here, which is fairly often because we only live 3 hours away. We are excited to go back out with Captain Casey again! If you want a true Florida keys fishing experience, Captain Casey is your guy!

    Jessica C. with Casey Y. of Tavernier, Florida

    It was a perfect day with Captain Joel. We went out 30 miles to the “humps” catching two mahi and 6 tuna, all keepers!
