We woke up to 4-9 foot seas and a chance of rain.  The Captain called me that morning and he assured me that his boat could handle the elements. (It really did remarkably well).  We decided to go out.  We were able to be out for 1/2 day.  The Captain and his first mate (his son) were incredibly nice.  Once we left the dock the game was on.  They were focused on putting us on fish.  The nice thing is the Gulf Stream is @11 miles out.  In spite of the wave we were out there pretty quickly and they looked for signs of fish.  It wasn’t 15 minutes and he had us in a school of Mahi and we had 3 in the boat.  We quickly moved to the next site and caught a couple of more.  In total we caught 11 really nice Mahi and one shark before the weather closed in on us.  I could hear on the radio other captains struggling to get one here and one there.  Captain Doc and is son where putting 2-3 in the boat at a time.  I would highly recommend them and I will use them again the next time we come down.

This was, by far one of the greatest fishing charters we’ve ever experienced. Not only was Captain George extremely personable but his knowledge and experience fishing these waters was immense. It was none stop action from the moment first line was dropped. Both he and his first mate Georgie made sure both my boys experienced the very best fishing in the waters of Islamorada. They were genuinely both very excited as my kids pulled up fish after fish, as well as equally disappointed when some of those same fish got gobbled up by sharks as they got closer to the surface….something we thought was amazing to see. Throughout the trip their passion for fishing, as well as teaching, and sharing their knowledge was on display. I will definitely, be returning to Islamorada, and will most definitely be making Kekoa charters a must do on our list and so should you!

We took the 7:30 AM fishing trip for 4 hours with our 4 kids. It was our first deep sea fishing experience and Captain George and his first mate were fantastic!  They served with excellence, helped us greatly and made sure we were comfortable…even my daughter who was a little sea sick. They were the best, had plenty of bait options, shared fishing knowledge and we will definitely be back! We did have weather come in at the end of our trip but they explained everything to the kids (and us) and the rain was actually one of the most beautiful parts of the trip! 5 star and totally recommend!

Great half day of fishing with Capt Doc & first mate George. Highly recommend Kekoa charters. very professional. We had a group of 4 adults mostly newbies to salt water fishing. Doc was so helpful, each of us had a fun time catching King fish Mackeral, rainbow runners and yellowtail. Seemed like we had a “fish on” constantly through out the 4 hour charter. Great experience on the water in Islamorada.

Very happy we chose Captain George for my birthday trip.  We booked a half day trip only a few days after hurricane Ian passed and despite the dirty water and unusual conditions, Captain George knew where to find the fish.  I asked to catch something for my birthday dinner, and we took home beautiful Mutton, Yellowtail, and Mangrove snappers.  We had a great time with Captain George and I highly recommend Kekoa charters!
