Join Capt. Kyle on the water for some fun rod bending action!

Whether its fishing nearshore reefs or kicked back watching the marine life go by as the sun sets, your Captain will ensure an unforgettable experience.

For comfortability: 2 forward facing sun loungers with back rests, cushioned rear seating, 2 large insulated coolers located underneath the seats, 8 cup holder, JL audio unit with 6 speakers, mister system, fresh water washdown, boarding ladder, and usb charger.

For Fishing: 15 gal on-board livewell, 10 rod holders, 80lb thrust trolling motor, Power Pole 8ft shallow water anchor, 9 inch Garmin, and a large catch box.

Nearshore you can fish for snapper, grouper, grunt, jacks, and more! Or stay inshore and target snook, redfish, trout, and sheepshead.

I primarily use live bait, as well as frozen. Jigging and lures are an option as well.

Bait, rods and reels, fishing license, and bottled water all are provided. Just pack a cooler with your favorite snacks and drinks. Don't forget sunscreen!

My passion for fishing started during the beginning of COVID where I had the opportunity to explore the one and only, Key West, and have been hooked ever since. I decided to turn my passion into a business and went to pursue my captains license.

No, I’m not on the water “300 days a year” and haven’t been fishing for 25+ years. But if you’re looking to have a good time on the water with a young, enthusiastic Captain; then this is the charter for you!

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
