With more than 15 years spent navigating some of the world's premier fishing destinations, Captain Chris brings a wealth of expertise to every trip. For the last decade, he has been guiding anglers through the pristine flats and deep waters of the Florida Keys, targeting a diverse range of species including tarpon, wahoo, tuna, sailfish, snapper, and grouper. Prior to settling in the Keys, Chris sharpened his angling skills over five years fishing the challenging seas of Alaska, focusing on salmon and halibut. This rugged experience instilled in him a strong sense of precision, flexibility, and deep respect for the environment.
Captain Chris is well-known for his calm demeanor, extensive local insight, and enthusiasm for sharing knowledge with anglers at every level—whether you're casting your first line or a seasoned pro. His mission is straightforward: to ensure each outing is enjoyable, safe, and unforgettable, all while helping guests reel in fantastic catches and create cherished memories on the water. Booking a trip with Captain Chris means more than just a guide; it means fishing with someone who genuinely loves the sport.
“Chris was incredible! We caught plenty of fish. My wife and I enjoyed a fantastic day fishing with him. Although the bite started slow, Chris’s determination kept us on the fish, turning the day into a great success. It truly was a memorable experience out on the water.”
You can cancel without any charge up to 7 days prior to your adventure and the amount will be credited to your account. If you cancel less than 7 days before the trip, your deposit will be retained by the guide. Cancellations on the day of the trip or no-shows will incur a full charge for the trip on your card.
All equipment is provided; however, we suggest bringing sunglasses, sunscreen, clothing suitable for the weather, and any personal gear you prefer to use during the trip.
Our 8-hour fishing trips provide ample time to experience a variety of techniques and target different species. You can expect to enjoy high-speed trolling, vertical jigging over wrecks, yellowtail fishing on the reef, and bump trolling with live bait—offering multiple chances to catch some impressive fish.
Once we anchor and start chumming while targeting yellowtail, each guest will receive a rod and reel to drop bait to the bottom, using either live or cut bait. At the same time, others may try flat-lining bait behind the boat. Throughout the trip, several live bait methods and vertical jigging techniques will be demonstrated to enhance your experience.
Any keeper-sized fish caught will be placed on ice in a cooler and later filleted by your captain at the end of the trip, ready for you to bring home. The boat is stocked with plenty of ice and cold water, ensuring there is enough space to keep your catches or any refreshments chilled. Additionally, there’s ample dry storage for your personal belongings.
For your convenience and privacy, a toilet is available inside the boat’s console. What truly sets us apart from other charters is the focus on creating unforgettable memories that will keep you coming back. We don’t see charter fishing as just a job—it’s a way of life.
