We had an amazing trip with Captain Jason! We caught plenty of fish, and he was incredibly patient with my family, even with our beginner-level skills. He took the time to teach my children new techniques and shared valuable tips. I highly recommend booking a charter with him!

June 30, 2025

I've been fishing in the Keys for over 20 years, and Jason was outstanding. His knowledge and flexibility stood out as he worked hard to target the fish we were interested in. We ended up catching eight different species in just one afternoon! I highly recommend him!

June 30, 2025

We had an amazing trip with Captain Jason! The action started as soon as we dropped our lines, and he kept us baited and on the fish throughout the entire outing. We truly appreciated his expertise and patience!

We had an incredible family trip, and my two boys (ages 9 and 12) were thrilled to catch fish nonstop! They’re already asking to return to the Keys and book another trip with Captain Jason.

This was our second fishing trip with Captain Jason, and once again, he did not disappoint. We caught plenty of fish and were excited to bring our catch (boned and filleted by Jason) to Lazy Days for a fantastic meal. Ladies, Captain Jason will bait your hook and remove the fish for you, so your manicure stays intact. We had an amazing time today. Thank you, Captain Jason, we love you!!!

My wife and son had an incredible trip. They caught a variety of fish, including yellowtail snapper, grey snapper, mangrove snapper, and even a shark! They also had a memorable encounter with a group of dolphins, which was an added bonus. Captain Jason did an excellent job ensuring my son caught plenty of fish. I highly recommend this experience!
