I found Ana Banana through FishingBooker.com. A 4.9 out of 5…read morestars seemed like a no brainer. I checked online to make sure the company was legitimate and called to formally book the trip. We excitedly booked at the end of January for a trip at the beginning of June, making it clear to Capt. Joel that the goal was to catch a sailfish or marlin or something to write home about - a memory our graduate would carry with him for a lifetime. I understand it was a stretch goal, but we quickly realized when we arrived for our very expensive 6 hour deep sea charter ($1600 + $300 tip), that Capt. Joel and his first mate, Eric, only ever intended to bait for Mahi - prey which is plentiful without the "deep sea"journey. The entire trip was a search for Frigate birds - apparently the real fishing guides. The fishing lines may have actually been in the water for only 45 minutes to an hour of the entire trip. We fared some rough, stormy seas to catch some very mediocre baby Mahi - total of 3 caught in what ended up being a 7.5 hour trip - plus a lost sea dinghy that the 1st mate and captain felt was worth retrieving for their own personal gain while we were politely grinning and baring an awful experience of a hopeless fishing expedition. Unfortunately, we got to watch one Mahi filet slip out of the first mate's hands into the ocean when he was cleaning the fish. I have to say, I did feel bad for him being left in the pouring rain to clean our fish while our captain dismissed himself to the indoors. Thankfully the 1st mate's friend came along with an umbrella after 15 minutes or so. At least we had enough for the three of us to have a "cook your catch" dinner at Castaways, along with some Ana Banana consolation fishing shirts and hats to memorialize this unremarkable trip. We were so excited and then so Incredibly dissatisfied with this trip. Please do yourself a favor and skip this Captain and skipper.

His boat was clean, safe and my children felt very comfortable trying new things with him. He was the total professional the whole time and made us amateurs look like pros! My kids think I'm a real fisherman now that I've caught a big fish in front of them. He made us feel like we were ok'd friends just out for a morning. There was no pressure on our end to do anything we weren't comfortable with. He was happy to jump in and help when we weren't comfortable. It's something special to see someone living their dreams and loving their job. We look forward to our next adventure with Capt Wes. My kids can't wait to go lobstering!

I learn something new from him every trip out. He has so many water adventures other that just fishing. He works his tail fin off for you from booking to the time you pull back in from your excursion. You will not find a better captain out there. Cant wait till November to go out with him again. Go check out his website and FB company pages.. so much there to see... Tons of info and pictures!

We fished 5 to 6 spots and caught fish at every spot. We use different techniques per location and it was fun to learn new methods to catch fish. His boat and equipment are top notch.

Go see Kevin if you are in Marathon for an enjoyable fishing day.

Casting off from the dock in Marathon Key FL, Captain Kevin and his first mate are loaded and ready to go, the fish calling out to him letting him know were they are hanging out, perfectly prepared bait, gear, and waypoints his charters never disappoint. Great time, great staff, and the best Captain in the keys. Bring your coolers, (that's plural) because you will not leave empty handed or without great stories. If you have not been charter fishing before call Kelly's Greens to set up your trip. Ask lots of questions and the will walk you through what is needed before, on and after the charter. ( the cleaning of the fish is almost as entertaining as the catching) again; You won't be disappointed.

I would highly recommend anyone looking to explore the shores and seas of the Florida Keys to book their "trip of a lifetime" with the Lower Keys Adventure Charters and Captain Mike.

It's hard to express how amazing my experience with Mike and his boat charter. I don't know why in…read morethe world the one review on here is one star because my experience with Mike was 2nd to none. I went snorkeling in the Bahamas several days before and where Mike brought us out was significantly better than anything I saw in the Bahamas. We saw a lot of different fish including Barracuda, Yellow Tail, Rainbow Fish, Surgeon Fish, etc. Mike was very helpful in where we should go but also allowed for me and my girlfriend to explore. We had a small lunch afterwards on a small island that was quaint but very fun and relaxing. He also NEVER rushed us or said we needed to get going. However, that is only the half of it. I seemed to have lost my rental car keys during the charter (100% my own fault) and Mike came back after he dropped us off and helped me look. unfortunately, the keys were as good as gone. Still, Mike let us stay in his car while I tried to get a lock.smith to get a new key. Over the next hour, Mike stayed with us, brought us to his house, a convenience store to get some drinks, and waited with us for 40 minutes till the lock smith arrived. On top of that, he waited with us the entire time the locksmith was at worked for another 30+ minutes. During the time, I had some very good conversations with Mike. Mike is one of the most genuine people I ever met and words couldn't express how much better he made my gf and my day. I HIGHLY recommend Lower Keys Adventure. Also, he had a very cute and friendly dog named Lizzy!
