About Your Trip

We offer 4, 6 & 8 hour fishing tours with a maximum capacity of 6 passengers. Please note that the pricing is for the entire charter, not per person. Our package includes fishing licenses, equipment, bait, tackle, fuel, ice, and filleting your catch.

We highly recommend wearing light, SPF clothing to protect you from the sun. Sunscreen, hats, and polarized sunglasses are also highly suggested. For safety and traction, we recommend wearing sneakers or closed-toed shoes, and we discourage flip flops, although they are permitted.

Seasickness can ruin an otherwise fantastic day on the water. If you are susceptible to sea sickness or are uncertain if you are affected, we suggest asking your physician for an anti-motion sickness patch. Over-the-counter remedies have varying degrees of efficacy. Charters that return to the dock early at the client's request will be charged the entire amount booked for the charter. There are no exceptions.

We strive to provide every guest with an outstanding deep sea fishing tour in Key Largo FL and will make every effort to accommodate any disability, need or or special request. Please indicate any assistance required in the online booking notes section.

We are excited to go fishing with you and wish you tight lines!

This was honestly one of the most disappointing charters I’ve had. I’ve booked numerous charters all over and in the keys. I realize fishing is fishing but we were greeted by a captain other than Dan, great guy but not what I expected honestly. Our vessel wasn’t prepared and ready to go so we waited longer than was expected and it pushed other plans back even further. We caught one 12.5 inch yellow that was big enough to keep. On other charters the boat is quite well prepared and ready to change course quickly to get you on the fish, not the case, granted it was a shorter booking I’ve still had much better equipped captains and vessels. So to spend the day bobbing for non existent apples was not at all ideal. It was so boring my wife and son chose to nap. So just be aware that if you choose this charter it may not go at all to plan. Sadly it was a waste of precious vacation time. I typically hate reading negative reviews and have never personally left one, but this seemed appropriate given the outcome. Good luck.

Captain Dan and Ryan were fantastic. The ocean was pretty rough that day but they helped us have a great time and pull in quite a few fish. We’ll be back again next year and will definitely look to hire them again!
