So I gave them a call and I am so glad that the other place was booked up because this is by far the best charter I've ever been on. We snorkeled, had snacks, learned how to sail (a bit) and it was just amazing. My ten year old twins want me to book again tomorrow. Captain Scott and skipper Brody are outstanding. They made our day! Fresh fruit, yogurt, bagels and great sailing. What more can you ask for! Book with these guys! You won't regret it! Cannot beat the experience of the service. Don't go anywhere else! I'll be booking another tour, hopefully before we leave to return home, my husband had to miss it and after he heard about it from us, he wants to go :). Don't miss out on these guys!

Second , he has impeccable details to boating safety guidelines. You feel like you are in good hands with Captain Scott as he navigates the ocean. As we anchored at Sombrero Key Reef, Captain Scott paid attention to all safety concerns. Plenty of water toys to enjoy the abundance of surrounding fish and the blue waters of the Florida Keys! The boat was well stocked with towels, ice , water and soft drinks. If you need a catamaran rental for a slice of island paradise, go see Captain Scott!

Having taken many charters in Florida and South Carolina, we knew what to expect--and this trip exceeded those expectations. Capt. Roberts worked tirelessly, ensuring we were always fishing and catching throughout the day. He managed everything seamlessly, from trolling and bottom fishing to reef fishing, and we were never left without bait. At the end of the trip, he did an excellent job filleting and packing our catch. The boat itself was outstanding--clean, well-maintained, and a step above other charter boats we've used. The air-conditioned cabin was especially appreciated while traveling between fishing spots. This trip with Infinite Blue Charters was truly memorable. Kay made the booking process simple and was very accommodating. If you're looking for an exceptional fishing charter, contact Kay at Infinite Blue Charters--you won't be disappointed.

We had our whole family with us including a 10-year-old who had never caught a fish before. Captain DD made it his mission to change that and he absolutely did. He was patient, encouraging and completely dialed in. By the end of the trip our son had an unforgettable first fishing experience and was hooked. What stood out most was how intentional DD was with each of us. My husband, our adult disabled daughter, our ten year old and our oldest adult son and I all had different expectations and he worked hard to make sure every single person got what they wanted out of the trip. He is warm, personable and clearly an expert. You can tell he knows exactly what he's doing and takes real pride in delivering a great experience. We were initially unsure if four hours would feel long but the time flew by. Our only regret is not booking a full day, haha. And it didn't even end when we got back to the dock. Captain DD took pictures of us with all our fish cleaned all fish while we watched pelicans line up for scraps, then sharks showed up and started going for the guts. It turned into this wild, up-close show that you just can't plan or get anywhere else. At one point the captain was hand feeding a massive fish right out of the water to a ginormous fish. It was unreal. Highly recommend Infinite Blue Charters and especially Captain DD. Could not have asked for a better captain or a better experience on our vacation.

I'm a little late for the review, but I've been running at the speed of sound since we got back…read more But OMG, what a time. Usually a long holiday weekend in the Keys is a challenging thought, as the traffic and weekend warriors tend to make a 4 hour trip into an 8 hour one, but given the break in the work schedule and the weather report, along with a highly recommended fishing charter operation out of Summerland Key, it was time to test the traffic gods and head south for a few days. We made it in record time, amazed that we arrived in time for sunset! We found our accommodations, settled in for the night, and enjoyed the most beautiful sky full of stars that can only be seen in these "away from the city" places, where the background light doesn't affect your view of the heavens. The next morning, we met up with JT and Debi Gabriel, gathered our belongings, and boarded the "fishing machine" for our day on the water. , being fair skinned Canadian and a desk jockey, completely covered myself in SPF80 sunblock for the day out on the water. The boat was roomy, had all the modern conveniences (we were able to charge our phones, enjoy our choice of music, enjoy beverages and lunch, fully equipped with all the modern navigation technology you could imagine). After helping load the bait wells with bait (fun!) we left on our adventure. The bay water was like a lake, calm, not a ripple. We stopped for gas at a local marina, where I picked up a pair of surf mocks/water shoes for $14 as my original footwear was not appropriate for the journey, as I was forewarned my apparel may be adorned with souvenirs of our trip, like fish blood and guts if we haul in a monster. Glad I did. We headed out east/southeast, for the first time in my life I was in a boat (other than a cruise ship) offshore out of plain sight of land. We crossed not one but two shipping channels as loaded freighters were heading south, and spotted a huge sea turtle along the way (very cool!). Finding frigate birds and weedlines we slowed down and hit a school of Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), where JT and Debi helped us with rods and bait, and before we knew it, we're reeling in fish in a fishing frenzy! We boated a few, kept the legal sized ones (one HUGE fish), and continued on for a while. Finding a fishing spot he knew from before, JT employed a power reel/rod combo for deep water bottom fishing. An impressive technical rig of multiple hooks, lights, etc. As we couldn't believe how calm, serene, and flat the ocean was today, and the partly cloudy skies gave us a little bit of relief from the powerful sun and heat, we enjoyed lunch and beverages waiting for our "guests below to announce their arrival". Next thing we know, JT's reeling up the line, and we have a beautiful tilefish in the cooler. Fifteen minutes later, a good sized snowy grouper! We realized the time and began to head back in, slowly trolling in the hopes of catching something, when we saw porpoises breaking the water in the distance. We slowed down and found huge (OK, 14 feet of shark is huge to me) sharks slowly circling the boat. We needed to empty the bait well anyway, and it was happy hour for the sharks, as the small bait fish hit the water, the graceful creatures helped themselves to our hors d'oerves. We soon had four to five of them, almost like a water ballet, circling on both sides of the boat, keeping us company while we had fish to offer. It was very impressive, and a memorable moment. We headed back to the dock, where JT cleaned/filleted the fish, and Debi cleaned out the boat and helped us gather our belongings. We cleaned up ourselves and were invited for dinner where we enjoyed the fish caught on our adventure, along with a few cocktails. The stars were out again, and some celestial event with Mars and Venus took place, and were clearly evident and visible to the naked eye. An absolutely amazing day and night, I highly recommend Boneafide Charters for anyone wanting to enjoy their day on the water in the Keys, for fishing, snorkeling/eco trips, and more.

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.
