Ratings & Reviews Summary
December 23, 2024
Captain Drew was fantastic with my family of three. My wife and 8-year-old daughter are not very experienced with fishing, but he was incredibly patient and made sure they felt comfortable and were able to catch fish. His positive attitude (even when we accidentally snagged some trees) and fun personality made the entire 6-hour trip a blast. I highly recommend booking at least the 3/4 day trip. It gives you enough time to really enjoy the experience and have success. Captain Drew took us to six different spots he’s known since childhood, and he goes the extra mile by catching live bait in the morning instead of using frozen shrimp. You definitely want to go with a local guide like him, not someone new to the area. We ended up catching Bull Shark, Nurse Shark, Snook, Snapper, Tarpon, and Jack!

Wow, Captain Andrew gave my 15-year-old grandson and me a fishing experience we'll never forget. The trip not only met but far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we stepped on the boat, it was clear that Andrew was fully prepared. He wasted no time getting us out to the fishing grounds in the Everglades, and with top-notch gear and quality bait, we were reeling in fish right away. My grandson was eager to catch sharks, and before long, we hooked some impressive bull sharks—what an incredible experience! Andrew’s knowledge of the waters around Key Largo is remarkable, passed down through generations of his family who have fished these waters. No GPS needed—he knows the area like the back of his hand. Andrew’s great with people, especially kids. He was extremely patient and helpful with my grandson, offering clear guidance on casting, hooking, and reeling in fish. If you’re thinking about booking a fishing charter, I highly recommend Captain Andrew. You won’t be disappointed!

Captain Andrew was the most outstanding fishing guide we have ever experienced. He worked hard the entire trip to ensure our experience was wonderful. We caught lots of fish under his significant experience on the water and in the area. My wife and I highly recommend him.
