The Fishing has been on fire! Weather is great, call and book your trip! (305)-923-3923
Great family great time call and book your trip
We were out in the glades playing today. You know the olds saying fish don’t know it’s raining.
Navigating the pristine waters of Key Largo aboard the Pathfinder 2018, powered by a robust 300hp Yamaha Engine, I guided my guests through the labyrinth of mangroves and secret snook havens. With a max speed of 52 knots, we seamlessly reached the prime fishing spots, and the excitement peaked as my guests successfully reeled in trophy-sized snook against the stunning backdrop of Florida's coastal beauty.
You never know what you might see in the Everglades! Yesterday I caught a bonus snook.
For this month inshore fishing is remarkable, bites of some favorite inshore species like Redfish and Snook are on point. We are anticipating winter game fishing offshores so get ready for cooler waters in deeper parts of the Keys! Join us for a rod-bending fishing excursion and let’s catch your next trophy fish. Book today—while the best dates for Oct onwards are still free.
We also baited a shark, which we quickly snapped a picture of before releasing. Redfish, snook, and sea trout are available throughout the year. Don't hesitate to book a charter with us!

The trip was really good. The captain kept moves us very fast from a couple spots that were not hitting well. He did a good job of finding the fish, and helped show us how to best catch them. We had a few kids on the boat and they had a great time too!

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!

1 person excited to fish, 1 happy to come along, and 2 people on their first charter, and it was a blast! Next time we will have all 4 people excited to fish!! Great atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and the fish were biting. Drew knows what he's doing and provides a plethora of local knowledge. Definitely will come again, thank you!

Me and 3 of my buddies got our chartered fishing cancelled on us last minute (due to an emergency within the captain’s private life) so after some searching we received one captain’s number from another captain and then that captain gave us Andrew’s number and said he could take us. We got there and Andrew immediately told us our plan and what all we would be catching. He caught our bait for us and took us to the first spot where we were getting trout hooked the second our lines hit the water. We caught many keeper trouts and my buddy caught a teenage BULL SHARK. Took some nice pictures with that. Then he took us to the next spot where we caught some snapper to eat and huge tarpon and jack fish. The whole time Andrew was putting bait on our hooks and helping us through the whole process. He was great with conversations and was always letting us know where the fish are. We caught a countless amount of fish, 7 which were big enough for us to take home and eat. I would recommend Andrew to anyone wanting to go fishing out in the sea.

What an awesome first experience for my kids! I have 2 kids that love to fish but have never fished in the glades. Not only did they catch fish, they saw manatees and dolphins in their own habitat. The personalized experience of the private charter made a great experience for us!
