My husband Loves to fish, whereas our two teen daughters and I were looking forward to a family outing that dad would enjoy but had low expectations.  However, we were surprised because we all had so much fun.  Brice made the experience fun for novices and experts alike.  We caught about 20 fish in 4 hours which included lots of laughter and races to see if dad vs girls would win. When we got to the dock he fileted them and told us local restaurants where they would cook our catch for us, which was unexpected.  What a great day! After the girls asked to do a second day tomorrow, but sadly they were booked.  I Definitely recommend…..you will not be disappointed!

Captain Ben could not have been nicer to me and my sons. We are novice fishermen, but Captain Ben and First Mate Tony were so knowledgeable that it made it easy for us. They gave us great instruction and were very patient with us. We caught a lot of fish using different techniques and equipment. Everything was expertly cleaned and filleted. One of the local restaurants cooked up our catch, and I am not exaggerating. It was the absolute best meal that we had in the Keys (and we have had some great ones).  If you get a chance, book a trip with Captain Jay charters and ask for Captain Ben.

Captian Ben was our Captian for the inshore reef fishing trip.  We booked this trip for our daughter 6 years old for her 1st fishing experience (daddy daughter trip) and let me tell you it couldn’t have been a more prefect fishing experience for our daughter.

Captian Ben made her experience a very memorable trip for her first time fishing offshore.  All the requests we made during the trip were immediately handled as part of the fishing experience.

1000% recommend them for your next fishing charter and especially if you’re bringing young kids.

Our next trip down to Marathon Florida we will be booking again and for a full 8 hour trip the next time!

The whole process throughout the booking process, prior to the trip and day of the trip, COMMUNICATION is Key with them!

We stayed on one spot the entire 4 hours and crushed the mangrove snappers!

Captian Ben made us feel welcome, safe, very helpful for our 6 year old daughter, very patient he was with us!

Booked a 4-hour lobster trip for 4 people. Was in contact with Captain Jay in the days and evening before about changing times based upon weather conditions. Was kept up to date with calls and texts right up until we hopped on the boat. Great communication.
Our Captain/Guide was Bryce. Quite respectful, polite, and engaging throughout the entire day. Was very knowledgeable and helped us by teaching us what to do. Jumped into the water to teach and demonstrate several times. He consistently put us on spots where lobster were, but being novices, we missed a lot of them. Better skilled fisherman would have limited easily on these spots.
The current was extremely strong during the trip. Possibly due to King Tide, so it made it difficult to move around even with fins. Bryce hooked up a tow row rope and idled the boat to several locations, with us in tow looking for lobster. Eventually the current took its toll, and we needed a rest, so Bryce took us to a location, and we caught quite a few snapper while we got our legs back under us. We finished the day going back over a few lobster spots and managed to boat a few more.
When we returned to the dock, Bryce filleted and cleaned the fish and lobster for us and packaged them for us to bring back.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience. We had a great time, learned quite a bit, and had a lot of laughs. I would recommend these guys without hesitation!
