5 star ratingWow all I got is wow! Went on the all day party boat with captain Walter and mate Jude. Best boat trip I have ever been in! We usually go on out local charters in Broward county- Walter is an amazing fun guy- he not only captains he works hard to know YOU and be very personable! Best captain so far I have had the pleasure of meeting! Thanks Walter for the awesome time and go I eat the extra mile to fish the way we did at the end to please me! 100% only will be using your boat when we come down every few months!

5 star ratingIncredible Fishing Trip We had three couples who wanted to get out on the water and fish. Capt John Johansen and Capt Ted Wilson were kind enough to take us out and we had ourselves a boys vs girls fishing trip. I have to say, both captains outdid themselves as everybody had a wonderful experience. Capt Ted took excellent care of the ladies and they caught some giant grouper, shark, and jacks. Capt John kept us on big game all day. At one point, we were tripled up with two grouper and one cobia. Somehow, Capt John managed to help us land all 3 at the same time. Cannot thank these gentlemen enough for great day of fishing. Would absolutely recommend them to anybody of any skill level looking to get on some FL Keys fishing.

5 star ratingWent out on the party boat. Captain and mate worked their butts off to keep our hooks baited and in the water. We caught a ton of yellowtails. I've been on about 10 party boat trips and this one used more bait and chum than any I've seen. Great job and very friendly captain and mate! Would definitely go again
