Family Fishing Fun
This was a last minute booking for us! It was great time and we caught some good Mahi Mahi! Do note that there is a separate gas fee PER PERSON that is collected in cash before you leave the marina!

Thank you for the great review! We’re glad you had a great experience on your Key West fishing charter with Captain AJ and First Mate DJ.
Fishing can definitely be challenging this time of year, so we especially appreciate you recognizing the patience and hard work of the crew. They stayed after it, found the fish, and getting you on some mahi-mahi made the day!

We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to AJ and DJ. We look forward to getting you back offshore for another Key West fishing trip!

Hot sunny day but little luck
Went out pretty far on a beautiful sunny September 11th afternoon. I finally caught a nice Mahi Mahi towards the end of the third hour. It was the only fish 🐠 caught by anyone.
I expected that everyone on board would catch something.
Oh well….

Yes. Going forward, I’ll make the TripAdvisor responses sound natural **while intentionally working in relevant searchable phrases** such as “Key West fishing charter,” “deep sea fishing in Key West,” “shared fishing charter,” “offshore fishing,” and specific species when the review mentions them. I won’t stuff keywords or make every response identical.
For this 3-star review, I’d use:
> Thank you for joining us for a **4-hour shared deep sea fishing charter in Key West** and for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad you had a beautiful September afternoon on the water and were able to land a nice mahi-mahi.
>
> We completely understand hoping that everyone aboard would catch a fish. Unfortunately, even with an experienced **Key West fishing charter** crew working hard to locate fish, some days the bite simply doesn’t cooperate. On a 4-hour trip, our captain and mate have a limited amount of time to travel offshore, locate productive water, and get everyone opportunities at the fish.
>
> We were happy to see that mahi-mahi finally come aboard toward the end of the trip, but we certainly wish there had been more action for everyone. For guests who want more fishing time and the ability to travel farther when necessary, our **6-hour and 8-hour Key West offshore fishing charters** can provide the crew with more flexibility to search different areas and target different species.
>
> Thank you again for choosing **Cowboy Cowgirl Sportfishing Charters** for your Key West fishing trip. We hope you'll give us another opportunity and experience one of those days when the fishing really turns on.

Best day ever!!
DJ and Scott are the best!!!
We had the best day ever. It was a bad afternoon for fishing but we stayed out and caught a huge MAHI MAHI. Was awesome. Scott filleted it for us and Dj recommended a restaurant to take it to to be cooked for us. It was best dinner ever!!! I cannot speak more highly of them! Would HIGHLY recomnend!
事業者からの返答
Thank you so much for the amazing 5-star review! We love hearing that you had the **best day ever on your Key West fishing charter** with DJ and Scott.
Some afternoons the **Key West offshore fishing** can make the crew work for every bite, which makes landing that huge **mahi-mahi** even more exciting! DJ and Scott stayed with it, and we're thrilled their hard work helped turn a difficult fishing afternoon into such a memorable experience.
Having Scott fillet your fresh catch and then taking it to a local Key West restaurant for a **cook-your-catch dinner** is one of the best ways to finish a day of **deep sea fishing in Key West**. It doesn't get much fresher than eating the mahi you just caught!
We'll definitely pass your compliments along to DJ and Scott. Thank you for highly recommending **Cowboy Cowgirl Sportfishing Charters** and our **4-hour shared deep sea fishing charter**. We hope to have you back for another Key West fishing adventure soon—maybe next time for a longer offshore trip or one of our **Key West shark fishing charters**!

unreliable
I can not rate the experience for this charter being we didn't go out with them as planned, and I wish I could have so that I could give a proper rating. they called cancelled the trip for us 3 hours before departure leaving us having to find a last minute charter (which we didn't might I add) giving us a inexcusable reason why they could not go out.
I would stay clear of this charter when looking for a day out on the water as they are not reliable.
事業者からの返答
We are sorry that you were disappointed and understand how frustrating it is to have plans change only a few hours before a scheduled trip. However, we do want to clarify that we do not cancel fishing charters without a legitimate reason.
There are circumstances in the charter business—such as an unexpected mechanical issue, weather or sea conditions, or another safety-related situation—that can develop with very little notice. When something occurs that prevents us from safely or responsibly running a trip, we would rather make the difficult decision to cancel than take guests offshore when we believe we should not.
We certainly understand that receiving that call three hours before departure was inconvenient, particularly while you were visiting Key West and had limited time to make other arrangements. We're glad you were ultimately able to find another charter and still enjoy a day on the water.
We are disappointed to be described as unreliable based on a trip that never actually took place. Cowboy Cowgirl Sportfishing has been taking guests fishing in Key West since 1965, and we would not have remained in business for more than 60 years by routinely canceling trips without good reason.
We wish you could have fished with us as originally planned and had the opportunity to judge us based on the actual fishing experience. We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best on your future trips to Key West.

Amazing time! Awesome boat crew!
Captain Hand and first mate Caleb were awesome! Caleb answered any questions we had and helped to set the lures and coach us through reeling in our catches! This was a first for my family and we truly enjoyed ourselves! Good size boat with A/C and fridge and ice chest to keep snacks cold. My group caught barracudas, bonito and Amber jack and the boat that went before us caught barracudas and mahi mahi there were also several huge tarpon hanging around the docks where they clean the fish! We had a great time!
事業者からの返答
Thank you so much for the fantastic 5-star review! We're thrilled that your family's first deep sea fishing experience in Key West was such a memorable one.
Captain Hans and First Mate Caleb will really appreciate the shoutout. Caleb does a great job explaining what's happening, answering questions, setting the spread, and coaching guests when it's their turn to reel in a fish. That's especially important when we have families or first-time anglers aboard.
It sounds like you had a great variety of action with barracuda, bonito, and amberjack, and we're glad you enjoyed the comfort of the boat and the A/C too. Seeing those huge tarpon hanging around the fish-cleaning docks is always a fun way to finish the experience!
We truly appreciate you choosing Cowboy Cowgirl Sportfishing Charters. Next time you're in Key West, we'd love to take your family out again—maybe for a longer Private Offshore Fishing Charter or one of our Shark Fishing Adventures.
And don't forget—go to BiteBackBrand and under Local Legends, go to Cowboy to get your t-shirts and other gear.
Thank you again for fishing with us, and we hope to see the whole family back in Key West!

Excellent time on the...
Excellent time on the water. Caleb and Sam were quick when the Mahi were biting. AC on board was nice. Big recommend.
事業者からの返答
Thank you for the 5-star review! We're so glad you had an excellent time on your 4-hour shared deep sea fishing trip in Key West.
When the mahi start biting, things can happen fast, and we're happy to hear Caleb and Captain Sam were ready to make the most of the action. We'll be sure to pass along your compliments to both of them.
We're also glad you enjoyed having the A/C onboard—after some exciting mahi fishing under the Key West sun, that cool cabin can feel pretty good!
We really appreciate the recommendation and hope you'll fish with Cowboy Cowgirl Sportfishing again. Next time, consider one of our longer Shared Fishing Charters, a Private Offshore Fishing Charter, or one of our Shark Fishing Adventures.
And don't forget—go to BiteBackBrand and under Local Legends, go to Cowboy to get your t-shirts and other gear.
Thanks again, and we hope to see you back on the water soon!

Fuel Surcharge Discrepancy
The fuel surcharge of $30 posted online is per person not per group . Misleading info online . Needs to add per person online .
事業者からの返答
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand how the wording could have caused confusion, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify it.
The $30 fuel surcharge on our 4-hour Shared Deep Sea Fishing Charter is per person, not per group. Shared charters are booked and priced by the individual passenger, which is why the fuel surcharge is also assessed per person.
That said, if the booking platform displayed "$30 fuel surcharge" without clearly stating "per person," we agree that it should be more clearly worded. We certainly don't want anyone to feel surprised by a charge when they arrive for their trip, and we will review how the information is displayed.
Marine fuel is one of the largest expenses involved in operating an offshore fishing charter, and the surcharge helps us continue running these trips while fuel costs remain high.
We appreciate your feedback and, most importantly, appreciate you fishing with Cowboy Cowgirl Sportfishing Charters. We hope the clarification helps future guests better understand the pricing before booking.
