Captain Chris is the best!!!! Had the most amazing fishing trip with him!!! #keysdisease

Keys Disease under the command of Captain Chris Harper is top-shelf! I've been out with many fishing charters but going with Chris is one of the best experiences you'll have. He has great natural instinct to find fish, and if they are biting that day then your best odds are to be with Captain Chris! He's also a great all-around guy and fun to talk with, especially about all things fishing! We went out of Marathon FL recently and hooked a few smaller snapper, which are great for meals. Then we locked horns with a one very angry barracuda and a beefy bonita. But the crown of the day was getting an 80lb amberjack into the boat. It took an hour to land him, and the entire time Chris expertly maneuvered the boat to get me the best possible chance for success. He also took a few turns at the rod as I'm in no shape for an hour long fight by myself lol. I highly recommend Keys Disease and Captain Chris for your next fishing adventure! You won't be disappointed!
