This trip was definitely the highlight of our Key West vacation!  The captain and first mate were absolutely awesome, it was very interesting listening to some of their stories.  They were both very professional, experienced, and good coaches.  We had caught nine fish with 4 people, everyone had an excellent time and caught at least 2.  If / When I head back to Key West I will certainly include this on my priority of things to do.  Thanks Guys!!!

These guys are fantastic. My wife and I fished a 3/4 day today doing some reef trolling. Since it was just the two of us we were able to have a very hands on experience with Joel. We were able to feel apart of the journey opposed to being guided to the point of everything being served up on a silver platter. That’s exactly what we were looking for in our first fishing trip in key west. Joe and Joel shared a ton of knowledge with us and showed us a fantastic time. After getting spoiled with a trip like this with just the two of us I don’t think I could do it any other way; seems like a large group would take a lot of the hands on action out of the trip. The trip was very reasonably priced, and these gentlemen are top notch. It goes without saying that they are experts at their craft.  We will absolutely be back with the Jolly Roger 2 next time we are here.

We had an amazing day with Captain Joe and first mate Joel. Captain Joe was honest with us before we even got on the boat. He said that the waters were choppy and that fishing has been tough. He didn’t have us pay the full amount until we got back, in case we wanted to cut the trip short. It took awhile to find fish, and they took great care of us when the waves were getting a bit too much for us. We went back to the reef and started getting hits. Joel worked hard getting the fish on the boat and more lines ready. Captain Joe and Joel were always giving us pointers and information about the fish we were bringing in.  We caught many yellowfin snapper, mutton snapper, mackerel, grouper (including a giant one), barracuda, and bonita. We had a blast and would definitely go out with these guys again.  They cleaned the fish, bagged it, and told us where to go to get some of it cooked. We sent a bunch home for us to enjoy later too. I would highly recommend the Jolly Roger II.

We had the best time today with Capt Joe and First Mate Joel! We came down to Key West from New Jersey for my guy’s birthday and this trip did not disappoint! Capt was great! There’s never a guarantee that you’ll catch but he went out of his way to make sure that we caught fish by going to the best spots! He’s experienced & you can tell he has a passion for what he does. Also, he’s really a nice guy & when you spend your money, you want to have a worthwhile experience & that’s what we got. Additionally, Capt’s First Mate Joel was fabulous. He was supportive & not just with the fishing lines but for a gal like me, I needed to know that I could pull my fish in, & he said, you can DO IT, & I didn’t lose one! Make sure you tip correctly because he gives you all that he’s got! I can’t say enough good things, except to say, we’ll definitely be back for another trip!

Capt Joe and First Mate Joel are top notch fishermen and great people as well.  We had a really good time and would love to do it again.  The bite was a little slow (to be expected in September) but we still caught some good fish and had so.much fun doing it.  Attitudes make any experience.  Joe and Joel take pride in what they do and it shows.  Answered all the questions we had, constantly cleaning the boat and equipment, assisting us in any way that we asked.  I really cannot say enough good things about them. I am currently trying to think of reasons to make another trip to the keys and go fishing with the Jolly Roger II.
