- Charter booked 7am on 3/31/25 for 4 hours - We were told…read morebeforehand Captain Skye doesn't captain the boat anymore so we were promised new captain & first mate were great & experienced, but found out new Captain George (aka Captain Doc) is retired chiropractor (no details on his Captain experience) & the original planned first mate wasn't available so they needed to fill with inexperienced first mate who was a boat mechanic with little experience as a first mate - Launch took off on time at 7am, but before launch we were invaded by no see um bites & had multiple roaches running around the boat - After short ride they took about an hour to catch bait because bait wasn't in "mass quantities" and they didn't know how to use casting nets adequately while other captains pulled up to spot & pulled in 2 netful of bait fish & were off in less than 15 minutes - Fishing lines were inadequate & old for the targeted fish having multiple knots in the lines & one braid line was gummed up when used which ran out of line when we hooked up on the first & only fish. Captain commented that he had no idea who strung that line on the rod. - Spent over an hour at initial spot even though only catch were a couple of small yellow tail snappers. Only one-fourth of a 5 gallon pail was filled with 2 small boxes of bait store bought chum for the trip. Stayed at this spot an extra 30 minutes even though other charters left spot because they didn't catch anything or were catching small grunts. Captain stayed at this spot to snag bait not tending much to the clients while first mate sat there on his phone periodically. With chumming & casting technique fish should've hooked up within seconds of hitting the water (Captain even acknowledged this) but lines spent up to 5+ minutes in the water & same old bait was used over again switching to squid for a short period of time -Second spot spent about hour drifting over a reck with free line which were on out of date spin casting rods with 30# monoline that had knots all over the lines. Hooked up on 5 fish that we were told were "tuna" but rods / line had no power to real in fish & captain blaming us experienced fisherman partly our technique was poor. "Tuna" never got even close to the boat nor did any of the hooked "tuna" ever jump out of the water to identify if they were actually tuna. All lines broke off & we're told sharks bit them off but never reeled in a head to identify this was the case - Last spot we fished a reck by drifting over by it, bottom fishing with large rods with small pieces of bait. Sonar on the spot showed little activity & no attempt was made by the captain to find a spot where sonar showed better fish clusters. We caught one 8" lane snapper & 1 small blue runner (bait fish). Poles were so outdated and the poor line caused difficulties reeling in these small fish. -Captain called off fishing at that point around 11:30pm which was 4.5 hours after starting the charter at 7am. We got back to landing spot before 12pm - All in we spent time within approximately estimated 7-8 miles from the initial launch spot in inadequate depths that ranged from 60'-200' so no effort to use more fuel to get to better spots more offshore - Boat is old, outdated & unclean with wires hanging down in plain sight, and boat also lacked a windlass anchor (mechanical) which was used by all other charter boats around us - We spent $1,421 on the charter & left gracious $150 cash tip to first mate for his efforts (it was not the young man's fault). When discussed with Captain Skye afterwards he supported the Captain & first mate efforts with excuses & saying they work really hard, they catch fish "all the time" posting photos on Instagram (although pictures on their website & other venues were mostly 1-5+ years old) & we should feel fortunate that they spent extra time with us than they normally do - 1 fisherman our group used Captain Sky about 2 years ago & had success but without Captain Skye & adequate first mate this operation felt inept & have no problem taking people's hard earned money

If you are into supporting local small businesses,then you should book your fishing trip with these guys. As for the fishing we crushed it. There was not a moment when we were not getting some action. Highly recommend this boat for anyone in the keys looking to go sport fishing.

After a 30 minute ride north, we arrived at a narrow flow in the mangroves. We stayed there all day. There was absolutely no reason to move as the fishing was fantastic all day. We caught Snapper, Sheepshead, Jacks, Black Drums, Red Fish, Catfish, Lady Fish....all day long. The Mullet were under the boat all the time and although we did not hook any tarpon or Snook, they were there. Awesome trip. I will take my son with Capt.Ted soon.

We had the most amazing day with Riley. He was an absolute blast! He was very funny and friendly…read more Went out with my husband, me, and our 2 boys (8 & 11). Riley knew just how to put the kids into fish and handled them so well! (Both boys have ADHD and Riley was so patient!) He listened and carried on a conversation with our youngest for quite some time. Put us right on barracuda, cobia, sharks, and PERMIT!! Both kids said they had "the best day ever!" and wanted to know when we could go back and fish with Riley again. :)

I'll just say, DON'T BOOK WITH ANYONE ELSE. Josh is hands down the best guide in all of the keys,…read moreand Everglades. We have booked trips all over the place, Charleston, Cape Cod, Panama Canal, Mexico, etc.. and our experience with Josh was one of the best. He is a funny guy that can carry on a good conversation. This is important to me with a guide, as some can be stuffy and dead noise can be uncomfortable.. this will not happen with Josh. His skills of fishing are perfect for any experienced person or beginner fisherman or woman! We split our trip up and fished off the fly half the day and bait fished the rest, in Everglades park. Josh fished with us an entire 12 hours, he said "when you call it, we'll be done." And charged us his standard full day price. ANY guide we've ever had watches their watch and calls it at exactly 8 hours, or less. I can't stand guides that watch their watches.. Josh is very unique in this way. We caught all kinds of fish, some we didn't want to catch, like catfish and lady fish (but if you ask me, they were still fun to catch), but others we did want to catch like snook, redfish, trout, Jack's.. etc. We saw Gators, dolphins, sting Ray's, manatees, and giant sea turtles that came up along the side of the skiff boat. We checked around the keys for other guides prices and found that Josh was right in the sweet spot for his pricing (under what most charge by at least $50)... And he was definitely worth every single penny. Whether you want to fish the keys, the Everglades, or even for trout in Idaho, Josh is your guy. You will have a blast, I promise!!

AWESOME...and we didn't even catch a fish!…read more David (Captain) and Mitch (1st Mate) were beyond gracious and worked diligently to get me on fish, just wasn't happening that night. We hooked into one Tarpon, and the fact it got off was all on me. That's why the call it 'fishing' and not 'catching'. Anyways, the boat is well maintained and clearly obvious that both David and Mitch take pride in giving their guests an exceptional experience. I've been on countless fishing charters all over the world, and WITHOUT question, if you are looking for a boat while in the Keys, these guys stack up to the best of them.

More than once today both my kids told us that today was the best day of their life and I can only chalk that up to our amazing experience with Captian Joey. We will definitely be back!
