I had an amazing time this past weekend with Blind Squirrel Charters! Captain Mike is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled at navigating the area. Along with his crew, Chase and Cole, they brought enthusiasm and entertainment to our group, making us feel like part of the team during our 6-hour trip. We caught a good number of yellow snapper while reef fishing and even spotted a massive shark. Cole and Chase were friendly and offered great tips to help us reel in more fish. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Key West. Blind Squirrel Charters also has some awesome merchandise available to commemorate this unforgettable adventure! I can’t wait to return to Key West and book another charter with this fantastic crew!

If you’re looking to catch fish in Key West and have a fantastic time in a safe, fun environment, stop searching and book with Captain Dan! We did a 3-hour shark trip, and the action was nonstop from start to finish. Dan is not only a skilled, professional, and knowledgeable captain, but he’s also a genuinely great person. He’s a must if you want an unforgettable fishing experience in Key West!

Nighttime tarpon fishing with Captain John was an enjoyable experience. Despite challenging conditions following the storm, Captain John proved to be an excellent companion for the endeavor. Despite adverse weather, we achieved a few successful hookups, ultimately reeling in two tarpons. The short trip turned out to be perfect, offering a satisfying and memorable fishing excursion.

Capt. Craig was fantastic from the moment we reserved our booking. Craig worked with us to understand what we we’re hoping to do and came up with a plan that put us on the fish. First Mate Brett was a pro, and incredibly gracious and engaged with our group the entire day. Next time I’m down in the area, will definitely be trying to get out with Capt. Craig again.
