Captain Ryan’s passion for fishing began along the peaceful shores of Virginia’s Rappahannock River, where he spent countless hours angling for Bluegill and Bass. His summers were often spent in sunny Boca Raton, Florida, where he developed his skills in saltwater fishing. By the time he was 10 years old, Ryan was already landing impressive Tarpon weighing over 100 pounds, sparking a lifelong enthusiasm for the sport.
At 20 years old, Ryan relocated to Key West and quickly made a name for himself as a fishing guide. He has led numerous clients to victory in tournament divisions and earned prestigious honors such as “Most Tarpon Releases in 2017” and “Guide Achievement.” As one of the top fishing charters in Key West, a trip with Ryan promises expert guidance and a successful day chasing a diverse range of fish species. Experience the excitement of sport fishing with a dedicated captain who shares your passion for the catch.
Our outing with Captain Justin was unforgettable. He made sure we had everything we needed and skillfully located the fish we wanted to catch. We even ended the day with a fresh dinner from the sea! Justin’s expertise made for a fun and bountiful trip, and we’re already planning to come back.
This captain truly delivers results. Over four hours, we caught more than 30 fish including various Snappers, Groupers, and even a five-foot Lemon Shark. You’re guaranteed an exciting adventure on the water!
Captain Justin combines friendliness with deep knowledge of the waters. My 14-year-old son experienced the thrill of a lifetime by catching two Tarpon in a single day, one weighing around 80 pounds. We had a fantastic day filled with plenty of fish, including a 100-pound Nurse Shark for dinner. Justin was punctual, adaptable, and a pleasure to be around. I highly recommend booking a trip with him.
