September 17, 2025

We had a wonderful day fishing with the Captain and his son—plenty of catches and great conversations. Looking forward to joining them on the water again soon!

September 17, 2025

Captain Charlie is a thoughtful and accommodating guide who went above and beyond to make sure everyone had the chance to catch fish. When the waves were rough at our first spot, he moved us to calmer waters, and the day turned out amazing. The dinner he later prepared with our fresh mangrove snapper and delivered to us was the perfect ending to a great trip. Big thanks to Captain Charles and Sam!

September 17, 2025

Such a fun trip with Captain Chef Charles—he was knowledgeable, experienced, and put in the effort to get me on the Mahi. I’m hoping to make it back to the Keys soon for more tight lines and another great day on the water!
