We went out on the party fishing boat and had a wonderful time. The trip lasted from 9.30-4.00 and we stopped at different sites. The captain and his crew worked very hard to make sure that all the guests were able to catch as many fish as possible. They were very friendly and knowledgeable. The 3 of us caught about 20 fish. I would strongly recommend this company for anybody who wants a fun day and not spend too much money ($95 per person).

Great day! A full day out fishing. Dress in layers as the morning is cool, but afternoon gets warm. Bring hats and suntan lotion.
Everyone caught a lot of fish- the crew made it easy and fun. After the trip they sorted the fish, filleted it for us and recommended several restaurants to cook it for us. It was a great day.

We booked a trip with Captain Tyler Valles to fish the flats and backcountry. Captain Tyler was very accommodating, extremely knowledgeable, and motivated to provide everything we wanted to experience. His experience and professionalism made this an outstanding trip that we will definitely book again the next time we are in the Keys.
