Capt Rip is ABSOLUTELY the guy you want to schedule for a small group of anglers. 
We were pressed with challenging weather and Capt Rip recommended we hold one day later for the best opportunity to run to Marathon Hump.  It was the right call and he took my bucket list and nailed it.  ABSOLUTELY everything I hoped for and the best day of fishing I have ever had (and I fish alot folks)  I will definitely schedule Capt Rip on my next trip to Marathon.  Knowledgeable, very skilled Capt. and a great guy to fish with!
(And…he cleaned All the catch and delivered to our door..Priceless for sure)

Capt Rip got us on fish and we had a great trip!! We caught blackfin tuna, mahi, and a couple of Rosie’s. We are KW locals, we felt like we were out fishing with family, it was a great experience. We will be back again and we will be going out with Capt Rip and Ripline Charters.

While trolling we only caught 1 fish but that was more than the other boats around us got.  When we anchored up to fish, we had bites nearly every cast.  One thing that was very different was that we had to reel the fish in fast or lose them to several very large bull sharks.  The sharks were really cool to see but they did rob us of a number of fish.  Despite the sharks, we caught a good number of snappers, mostly yellow tails.

My 15 year old son and I did a 6 hr day and Rip helped us land Bonita, King Fish, Yellowtail Snapper, Ocean Triggerfish and a fight with a large Nurse Shark. He was a pleasure to be out there on the water with and ensured we caught as much as we could! He was also extremely willing to share his knowledge of fishing and the local area. Thx Rip!
