My family and I were visiting Key West from South Carolina. We booked an afternoon trip with Captain Dave. The boat was clean. He was on time,  the trip started out great, and got even better. Dave was an outstanding guide, very knowledgeable, and very personable. We caught a ton of yellow Jack, and a barracuda. At the end of the day Captain Dave filleted our catch and bagged it up for us. He was out absolutely outstanding. I would highly recommend this trip with Captain Dave.

Our 12 Hour offshore trip had to be down graded due to high winds, so we choose to do a 1/2 day inshore trip. The Capt. did not disappoint.  At the dock We saw Tarpon swimming around the boat. So I asked the Capt. About the possibility of catching one, knowing it’s not the season for them. He said we could give it a shot on the way out, but he could guarantee anything. Well, He put on one in the 30 + pound range, which I landed, and got a few good jumps out of it, which was awesome for someone who’s never caught one before. After that we headed out for some snapper. We limited out on snapper and yellow Jack, and my Buddy also landed a 7 foot black tip shark. Over all it was a great day.  Would definitely recommend giving them a try. I know I will be booking again, but will also book during a more fishable season.  5 stars for sure.

Captain Zack got us to the Tarpon fast. My friend, Jim, hooked up, and brought to boat a huge, jumping one at our first stop. Jim and I hooked up two more that got away. I seemed to land every other type of fish: Two nice Yellowtail, Shark, and Grouper. Great conversation, and plenty of sun to boot! My Tarpon still eludes me, but I will be back with Zack!

Incredible trip, we caught our limit. Brandon was extremely patient with me and my three daughters. We brought snacks and did not touch them until the ride back to the marina. Constant action, constant fish, and a very good time for all of us.  We could not have been happier. Icing on the cake for me it was catching a 7 foot shark. Brandon had the experience to lift the anchor and start chasing the shark in order to land it. We obviously let it go, but a great fight. Would definitely book again next time in town.

We had an incredible half day with our twin boys! Captain David was knowledgeable, approachable and friendly helping us set up our rods, finding different spots for the perfect catch, answering the kids questions about depth and fish, and later filleting our catches which we enjoyed right at the marina (Hurricane Hole). Overall a wonderful experience that we would highly recommend for families - and I plan to!
