Loretta, thank you for the kind words—and for rolling with a windy week. We’re glad we could shift your date and still get you out on your last day. Captain Hans and our first mate work hard to keep things safe, steady, and fun when the weather kicks up, and it’s great to hear everyone hooked fish—mackerel, snapper, yellowtail, even a mutton and blue wrasse. Getting you to the airport on time was the easy part. We appreciate you choosing our Key West fishing charter and hope to chase those “big boys” (including sailfish) with you next time.

If you’re planning a return, we run both shared and private charters—pick what fits your group—and we also offer Marquesas Key historical fishing tours for a special day off the beaten path.

Also, if you want a keepsake from the trip, go to BiteBackBrand and under Local Legends, go to Cowboy to get your t-shirts and other gear.

Helpful Q&A
Q: What happens if wind or weather cancels my trip?
A: Safety comes first. We monitor forecasts and, if conditions aren’t safe or enjoyable, we’ll reschedule you to the next safe window or help you choose an alternate trip style that fits the seas.

Q: When’s the best time to target sailfish in Key West?
A: Late fall through early spring is prime, especially around cold fronts. Tell us your dates and we’ll recommend the best charter (and tactics) to maximize your shot.

Curt, thank you for the stellar review and for rolling with the weather call. Safety comes first, and we’re glad we were able to get you back out the very next morning. Hearing that the Sanctuary crew put you right on the bite beyond the reef—yellowtail, mackerel, a toothy barracuda, plus multiple shark sightings—makes our day. That’s a great mixed-bag half-day on a shared charter in Key West, and we’re honored it felt “once in a lifetime.” We’d love to have you back anytime.

If you want to focus on big toothy critters next visit, we run dedicated Key West shark fishing adventures (inshore, reef, and deepwater). Or, choose a private charter for a fully customized plan with your own crew and pace.

Helpful Q&A
Q: What happens if the forecast looks rough on my day?
A: We monitor marine conditions closely. If it’s unsafe or not enjoyable, we’ll reschedule you to the next safe window at no extra charge.

Q: What’s the difference between a shared and a private charter?
A: Shared trips let solo anglers or small parties split the boat and cost with others—great value and steady action. Private trips reserve the whole boat for your group, with a custom plan (targets, style, pace) and flexibility to change tactics on the fly.

Thank you, Alex! We’re so glad you and your wife had a blast out there with Tom and Will. The 3/4 day shared trips are a great way to experience offshore fishing in Key West—especially when the crew brings in a haul like that! Glad you enjoyed learning and getting hands-on. We look forward to having you back on board soon.
