Great guide, put us on fish within 30 minutes. We limited out in tuna within an hour and a half.  We were never able to open a beer because he put us on so many fish.   Incredibly nice and Jess the deckhand was fantastic.

We can’t say enough great things about our trip with Captain Landon of Oceanside Charters. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make our fishing experience incredible. His deep knowledge of Middle Keys waters and instinct for finding fish made every moment on the water productive and exciting. On day two, Landon even extended the trip to help us land bigger catches—a gesture that shows his dedication to clients and passion for the sport. His gear was top-notch, the boat immaculate, and his professional, upbeat attitude made the day even more enjoyable. Not only is Landon an outstanding fisherman, but he’s also a genuinely great person to spend a day on the water with. If you’re looking for a captain in the Middle Keys who delivers results and truly cares about your experience, Oceanside Charters is the one to book.

We had an amazing trip with Captain Jason! We caught plenty of fish, and he was incredibly patient with my family, even with our beginner-level skills. He took the time to teach my children new techniques and shared valuable tips. I highly recommend booking a charter with him!
