Booked this trip as a birthday gift for my wife and want with a group of friends. Incredible experience for all of us! Captain Ben and his mate Alex were extremely accommodating, hospitable, and most of all knowledgeable. We hooked fish non stop one after the other. When we were done they cleaned and scaled the fish for us and the then gave recommendations on how best to cook it and who could ship our catch back home. Boat was fantastic as well. Highly recommend!

I was told by friends who are Marathon, FL locals, as well as other charter captains, that the mahi fishing had been slow for some time when we were in town last. So, I wasn’t expecting an epic day catching fish when we went out on a full day charter with Captian Ben. I was ecstatic when we were on fish right away. At one point we had five fish on at the same time…now that’s wonderful chaos! Sometimes when you start the day with so much action you pay for it with an afternoon of catching nothing. Not in our case. Captain Ben found the fish all day. When the humps slowed down and the fish we were catching were small, we moved and found better spots with bigger and better fish. We caught more than 50 mahi in total and kept our limit of 20. The fish tacos that night with the fresh filets were absolutely the best. Stupidly, we left the key to our rental car back at our rental house. Many thanks to Captian Ben for not only providing an insane fishing day but also for driving us home after!! I’d like to thank Brutus Seafood Market for vacuum sealing, freezing and shipping our catch to our home. It tasted just as fresh as the day we caught it! Cooking our catch at home with friends has been so much fun. We don’t get fresh caught mahi in Indiana.

We had a great morning fishing with Captain Ben Zdan and Alex. Would recommend him to anyone wanting to fish in the Keys!! Caught our limit in Yellowtail and even brought in decent size Amberjack.  Had a few other Amberjacks on the line but just couldn’t get them in the boat fast enough. We had a great experience and will be booking with Captain Ben in the future!

Captian Ben is not only extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of sport fishing in the Keys, but is also incredibly kind, patient and fun! Always helpful and never lets up. Ben had una in a variety of fish all day from beautiful Blackfin Tunas to Mutton Snappers, Amberjacks and even a trophy Sailfish!!
