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.

We had an amazing time! Captain was friendly and very helpful. The captain recommended that we take our catch to Mac’s Place bar just steps from the marina and have it prepared. The staff and preparation were both amazing!! We will return to do it all again!

Captain Tony was great! He made our time on the water perfect. It was our first time lobstering and it’s not as easy as it looks but we managed to catch the max. It was a trip we will not forget and hope to bring our boys next time. We will definitely be calling Captain Tony again.

This trip was one of a kind, the crew was very knowledgeable, friendly, and all around great people to be around.
The crew had stayed out even longer to help us catch as much fish as possible, and I had gotten the chance to cross some species off my bucket list to catch.
If you’re looking for an experience of a lifetime, and something to remember forever, I’d book this charter!

We have done 2 charters with Captain Tony and they have both been exceptional! We have 3 daughters ages 7-14 and all asked if we could go back out with Tony again on our annual trip back to Key West. Caught plenty of snapper both trips for a delicious dinner as well as a few other sport fish as well. Highly recommend!

We had an incredible day fishing with Tony! We booked an 8 hour fishing day and all of our expectations were exceeded, especially for a windy day. He was professional, but also down to earth, easy to chat with and made sure we had everything we needed for a successful fishing day! We are already looking for our next trip so we can come back and fish again with him.
