We had a grand time with Captain Dan. We did 4 half days on yellow tail and snapper and caught a gracious plenty. He is very professional and cordial, knows his stuff, and full of great stories. What I most enjoyed was trading great book recommendations with him as he turned out to be an avid reader! You will have a great experience.

Dan goes over and above to make your fishing experience great! A great teacher for first-timers, but if you're a slow-learner like me, he has tons of patience and is right there to guide you! We had a great haul of snapper and a fun time!

Went out with Dan for a great day of fishing. Dan has a lifetime of experience on the water and it shows. We got a whole mess of snapper as well as some grouper, small sharks and trout. Dan worked hard to keep us catching fish. He also was great with my 9 and 12 yo kids, keeping them catching fish. He says most of his business is repeat customers, and I can see why. I'll be giving him a call next time I'm in the keys.
