Must dos in Key West
A must do is seeing the Sharks feeding live, really cool! Take a ride on the Craigcat from Key West Boat and Jet Ski Adventures. Three great restaurants: Little Pearl (Awesome) Lola’s (Incredible) Square Grouper (Fun and delicious)

Incredible day with monster catch
Amazing day fishing. The boat is a bit dated but I say that gave the cool vibes. You can feel this one has been fishing for a long time. It is overall very convenient. Jeff and Christian also great! Very skilled. We caught 4 barracuda and 4 king mackerel. The best experience was we caught a monster Tiger Shark. 15 feet. Fight of a lifetime. We had to reel it in in shifts. Everyone was in exhausted. All catch and release except 1 mackerel which we let Boat house restaurant cook up for us. Overall incredible day!

Meh.. spend the money and go elsewhere.
We (I) wanted to love them. BUT, while Jeff was personable and interactive, Russ was your typical salty captain. I would call our lack of fish bad luck, but looking at 360 upon returning to shore showed us that we went in a straight line out, and a straight line back after a couple circles. I, like the other reviewer, emphasized that we were hoping by booking a 6 hour trip that we would find big fish. I mean, aren’t we all hoping for that? Basically there was no looking for fish, just driving the boat with his foot. Haha. Literally. I read a review saying the boat is older, yes…it is older 44 years old to be exact. It shows it. It also shows lack of maintenance and well, cleaning. Don’t expect toilet paper, windows that you can see through, or couches with cushions that aren’t sunk in and duct taped. :) It was comical. AC was kind of there, kind of not. Overall, it was meh. Not the worst, not the best. Wish I would have just spent the extra money on a better charter. (If it weren’t for Jeff, my review would probably have been lower.) You get what you pay for, but we still payer over a grand and are eating Cuban sandwiches right now.

Fishing with Captain Jeff and Christian
This was a great experience with Captain Jeff and Christian. They were both very personable and genuinely nice people. They both worked very hard to give us the opportunity to catch some fish and I ended up catching a large Mahi (it was large to me!!) We caught several fish and had a great time!

Great and highly memorable outing!
This was my first-time deep-sea fishing with my son, and it was fantastic! Captain Jeff was pretty responsive and helpful throughout the excursion and communication was excellent. The waves were a bit rough and choppy on the day we rode out on the boat, and my son got a bit sea sick. However, the experience was very memorable, and we caught quite a number of fish (1 barracuda and 4 mahi). Highly recommended!

Amazing 1/2 deep sea fishing charter
Had an awesome time fishing with Captain Russ and First Mate Russia! We did a 1/2 day trip in the morning, and these guys really know their stuff. They made the whole experience a blast, and we came back with a mahi, a wahoo, and a tuna—couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. Everything ran smoothly, and they made sure we had fun the entire time. Highly recommend these guys.

This One’s Going on the Wall!
We were on the fish thanks to Captain Jeff and Christian. Five Black Fin Tuna and two Barracudas - one was 47” which will be mounted on the wall. Great experience - highly recommend!

Offshore fun in KW
Great time and great way to start the day. Half day fishing in the morning with three couples. Captain Russ and Jeff were very accommodating and professional. They did all the work and we had all the fun. Fish were few but the experience was something that we will do again. Nevertheless, we caught enough for us to enjoy lunch at nearby Hogfish
