キーウェストでの4時間の共有深海釣り

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.

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!

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!

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.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry your trip did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify a few points for anyone reading your review. The day of your trip was one of the slowest fishing days we’ve experienced in quite some time. Due to heavy seaweed conditions and the summer fishing pattern, many boats across Key West struggled that day. While a handful of boats had success, those were generally either longer offshore fishing charters with more time to reach distant fishing grounds or simply the few that happened to find the right bite that day. Our 4-hour shared fishing charters are designed to maximize fishing time within a limited window. During the summer months, we explain before departure that fish often move farther offshore, making a half-day trip more challenging than a 6- or 8-hour charter. Unfortunately, fishing conditions are never guaranteed, regardless of the experience of the captain or crew. We respectfully disagree with the statement that our crew lacked effort. Our captains and mates take great pride in working hard for every guest, and the overwhelming majority of our reviews reflect that commitment. On difficult fishing days, the results may not always match the effort, but our dedication to our guests never changes. We appreciate your feedback and sincerely regret that this particular day did not provide the experience you were hoping for.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad our crew and ownership team were able to work with you after your original trip was affected by weather. We always do our best to accommodate guests when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate. We’re sorry the fishing wasn’t more productive on the day you joined us. Unfortunately, some days the fish simply aren’t feeding aggressively, and while our captains and mates work hard to find active fish, that’s one aspect of fishing no charter can fully control. As the saying goes, it’s called fishing, not catching. We also appreciate your comments regarding the cabin and restroom amenities. Your feedback about music, toilet paper, and hand-washing water is helpful, and we’ll review those items with our crew to ensure guests have the best experience possible. Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to take you fishing in Key West. We hope you’ll consider joining us again in the future, perhaps on one of our longer shared charters or a private fishing charter, which allows more flexibility to target different species and fishing grounds. And don’t forget—go to BiteBackBrand and under Local Legends, go to Cowboy to get your t-shirts and other gear. We appreciate your business and your honest feedback.

Thank you for the great review, Mindy. We’re glad you had such a fun trip and got into plenty of fish. It’s always a good day when the bite is on and the crew is able to give everyone a little extra time on the water. We’re happy to hear the captain and mate took good care of you, and Daniel will definitely appreciate the shoutout. He works hard to keep the energy up and make the trip enjoyable for everyone aboard. Thanks again for fishing with Cowboy Cowgirl Sportfishing Charters. We hope to see you back in Key West for another shared or private deep sea fishing trip soon.

Thank you for the fantastic review. We're thrilled to hear you had such a great trip and are already planning your next adventure with us. It’s great to know the crew’s hard work, dedication, and local knowledge helped put everyone on fish. When the fish are feeding, staying mobile and finding active schools can make all the difference, and we're glad it paid off for your group. Hearing that everyone caught multiple fish is exactly the kind of experience we strive to provide on our shared fishing charters. We truly appreciate your kind words about the crew and are grateful you chose Cowboy Cowgirl Sportfishing Charters. We look forward to welcoming you back to Key West for another great day on the water. Don't forget to visit BiteBackBrand under Local Legends and check out the Cowboy collection for shirts and gear commemorating your trip.

Thank you for the outstanding review, Daniel. We're thrilled to hear you had such a great time fishing with Captain AJ and first mate Kaleb. Our crew takes pride in providing a fun, safe, and productive experience for anglers of all skill levels, and we're glad their knowledge and hard work helped make your trip memorable. It's always rewarding to hear that our guests enjoyed both the fishing and the overall experience on the water. Thank you for choosing Cowboy Cowgirl Sportfishing Charters and for recommending us to others. We hope to welcome you back for another shared or private fishing adventure in Key West soon. Don't forget to visit BiteBackBrand under Local Legends and check out the Cowboy collection for shirts and gear to remember your trip.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the trip did not meet your expectations. Shared fishing charters are designed so multiple guests rotate through rods throughout the trip, especially when conditions are slow or fish are not actively biting. Unfortunately, the weather front that moved through the day before made for very tough fishing conditions across much of the fleet that day, which the crew did explain onboard. As for rescheduling, weather in Key West can change quickly, and while fishing may slow after a front, many trips the following day can still produce great catches. If we canceled or rescheduled every time conditions looked less than ideal, many guests would lose opportunities to get out on the water altogether. Regarding the return trip, we did experience a mechanical issue on the way back, and we apologize for the delay getting to shore. While frustrating, safety is always our top priority, and the captain made the proper decision to bring everyone back safely rather than rush the vessel. We do appreciate your comments about the crew. Our captains and mates work extremely hard to make the best of difficult conditions and give guests the best experience possible, even on slower fishing days.
