We are a family-run deep sea fishing charter based in Key West, Florida. When you choose to fish with us, you’ll be fishing straight with Captain Joel—no corporate intermediaries involved, just warm, authentic service from a captain who is genuinely dedicated to making your trip memorable. Our charter welcomes families as well as avid anglers seeking a serious fishing adventure. We supply all the necessary fishing gear and permits, complimentary bottled water, and provide ample cooler space filled with ice to keep your catch fresh. Our vessel also features a restroom for your comfort throughout the journey. After your fishing excursion, we will clean your catch, package it, and pack it with ice so you can take your fresh fish home ready for your next meal. We truly wish we could award Joel and Tony more than five stars. The only complaint from our trip was that we only booked it for a single day—we can’t wait to return for another outing!
You can cancel without any fees up to 3 days prior to your trip and get a credit added to your account. If you cancel within 3 days before the trip, your deposit will be retained by the guide.

All essentials are provided; however, we suggest packing sunglasses, sunscreen, clothing suitable for the weather, and any additional items you may need during the trip.
Discover the ultimate Key West fishing experience aboard a private offshore charter led by Captain Joel. Whether you’re targeting trophy pelagic species or aiming to catch fresh snapper for dinner, these charters are crafted to align with your objectives while adapting to the current bite, weather, and season.

A professional first mate is always onboard to assist with everything from rigging lines to landing fish.
