His deep enthusiasm and expertise allow him to deliver an exceptional level of service that sets his charters apart from the rest. We invite you to see the difference firsthand.
Our day with Captain Dan and the first mate was incredible. We set out promptly and enjoyed an exciting time catching a Mahi and about half a dozen tunas. The trip exceeded our expectations with perfect weather, a friendly and helpful crew, and plenty of fresh fish ready to be enjoyed at a nearby restaurant. We highly recommend this charter and will definitely book again next time we visit the Keys. Thank you, Dan!
Unfortunately, our experience was quite the opposite on a different trip. We were greeted by another captain (not Dan), who was a nice person but didn’t match what we had anticipated. The boat wasn’t fully prepared to depart on time, resulting in delays that affected our schedule. During the outing, we only caught a single 12.5-inch yellowtail snapper, which was just barely keepable. In comparison to other charters we've been on, this vessel was not ready to quickly adapt and find better fishing spots. The resulting downtime was frustrating, leading my wife and son to take naps due to boredom. If you decide to book this excursion, be aware that things might not run as planned. Unfortunately, this trip felt like a poor use of our valuable vacation time. I usually avoid posting negative feedback, but felt it was necessary given the circumstances. Wishing you better luck.

Captain Dan and Ryan were outstanding during our trip. Although the ocean conditions were rough that day, they ensured we had an enjoyable time and managed to catch plenty of fish. We plan to return next year and definitely intend to book with them again!
Had an excellent outing with Captain Daniel, whose 25+ years of experience truly shine through. He was a great person who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable.
