    Trip: Key West Light Tackle Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Kevin was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable and provided easy step by step instruction instructions while fighting 2 - 5 foot lemon sharks in less than 1/2 hour before daylight faded. Both were unkooked boat side with great video and pictures. His boat is clean and organized making it safe and easy to move around the boat while battling a catch of a lifetime for 2 Wisconsinites. Thanks Kevin. See you soon.

    Trip: Key West Mixed Bag Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Our Charter Boat Captain Antonio was very knowledgeable and professional regarding his handling of the boat and setting up our group on fish. It was 4-hour charter that went by fast. Once we settled into an area where we could catch fish, Antonio worked to keep us catching, and provided excellent guidance as each fish was landed. His patience was appreciated as I had my daughters on this adventure and it there first time on a fishing charter boat. I highly recommend Antonio if you are looking for professional boat captain that is young and eager to ensure that you get the best experience possible for the money!
