About Your Trip

Lobstering is a great experience for kids and adults and very rewarding to eat if caught. I like to make it as simple as possible for you I’ll be helping you step by step so you can succeed in catching them in shallow waters around Key West. The first couple of days it’s best to leave as early so no one gets to the spots before we do, but don’t worry I have lots of secret spots and usually limit out on every trip. I’ll have all the gear you need nets, sticks, mask, fins, gloves and bags to put your catch in while you keep looking. It’s best to bring a pair of socks and a snack for after you swim and I’ll have ice water in the cooler.

Certified Damn Good Guide

Captain Antonio is a Key West native and is living his dream every day he runs his Key West fishing trips. With his 10 years of experience, Captain Tony is sure to know where the good offshore spots are to land you the biggest catch of the day.

It was his father's dream to own and run a 35' sportfishing boat and now Captain Tony carries on the tradition. Our charter is a Christian family owned and operated business. Read on to get in on the action and out on the water! We always give 100% effort to satisfy our customers, getting to know them and being personable and friendly. We are serious fishermen but we also like to have lots of fun while doing it which makes for a great time.

Captain Tony was amazing! Very knowledgeable and accommodating. Took us to a few great spots and showed us how everything was done. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have caught our limit of lobster! Even got to spear a nice grouper, for the icing on the cake. He put in a lot of hard work! So thank you for that. This was this highlight of our trip down here to Key West. 10 out...

We highly recommend this father and son guided trip. Fishing with my husband and I were our 7 and 10 year old granddaughters, daughter and son in law. The boat was older but very clean. The cabin with a small fan and cooler filled with water and cold drinks was nice. We caught 7 mahi mahi and they made sure each one of us had the thrill of reeling in our fish. Back at the dock, our fish were cleaned and bagged to bring home. Our granddaughters were given the skins and shown how to hold them off the side of the boat to feed the huge tarpon while nurse sharks were circling. An exciting end to an awesome trip.

Antonio was a fantastic captain and I had a great time with him on our lobster hunt. The boat is very comfortable and Antonio is a GREAT guy! He is very skilled and managed to get our limit of lobsters - making the tour a great choice for a beginner who doesn't yet know the ropes of lobster hunting.
After the tour, he also cleaned them and put them in a plastic bag and gave great...
