Our favorite fishing day so far here in Key West!!!
We went out with Capt. Daniel and Hunter. We live here most of the year, and we have fished with quite a few companies here in Key West, and these guys REALLY know their stuff. They were super active and working together all day. Hunter had tons of energy, and wanted to get every fish on the boat and in the cooler! They really impressed us, the fishing was good, and we will absolutely be going out with this duo again!

Great day on the water
Fabulous shared charter w 3 couples. Boat was big and nice. Captain Daniel and mate Hunter were awesome. Everyone caught nice fish. We hooked a sailfish. It put on a nice show for us but sadly we didn’t get it all the way in the boat. Everyone spilt up a ton of great fish. Great time. Would go again.

Great experience with deep sea fishing
Amazing trip, with professional, knowledgeable, and very helpful crew. Everyone was great. I appreciate them all. However, I am grateful for Chase for being patient with explaining me things, and helping with my small experience.
All this time was filled fully with working hard on catching a fish but also socializing with newly met people.
This is an amazing time, where you can actually catch a fish, often descent size. I highly recommend that activity if you looking for something exciting, that brings joy and satisfaction. Beautiful ocean, lots of fish, fun time fishing, and the crew, always glad to assist you.
I know I will be back there, just to do a fishing trip.

Great Fishing Day!
Fun and relaxing day on the Fish Monster. Caught a lot of fish and enjoyed calm waters with a helpful captain and staff.
Could have used one more helper to assist customers on the inside of the boat needing to purchase towels, water and snacks.

Fun time
Crew knows what they are doing. Caught lots of fish off the back of the boat. It was worth the upgrade.

Disappointed
Selected this one, not expecting to have so many people fishing at the same time, it took away from the experience. Great crew, they worked well with each other.
Operator response
Thanks for the review! We are licensed for 49, but we only take 38 fisherman. If you are wanting a more personalized trip, you may want to look a private charter.

Too crowded don’t waste your time
The boat was way too crowded and all it took is one person to want to catch a shark and an hour and a half later nobody else got to fish took away a lot of our time for one person too many people for the staff to help

Here fishy, fishy!
Crew was great, caught 60+ fish between the 4 of us and had a few cold drinks. The weather was beautiful, although hot and it ended up being a fantastic day.
