questions?

We have answers.

  • Absolutely. Any fish caught legally gets cleaned, filleted, and bagged by our crew—no charge.

  • We launch from Oceans Edge Resort & Marina on Stock Island, Key West (5095 Peninsular Ave, Key West, FL 33040).

  • Safety comes first. If conditions go sideways, Captain John will either reschedule your trip or give you a full refund.

  • Tarpon, Grouper, Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, and Sailfish top the list on our trips.

  • We run a mix—trolling, fly fishing, light tackle, bottom fishing—whatever gets you hooked.

  • Everything from deep-sea and reef fishing to flats and offshore action.

  • We take a 20% deposit upfront (cash or card), and the rest is due after the trip.

  • Give us a two-week heads-up and you're off the hook. Cancellations under that timeframe may impact refunds.

  • Yep—20% is the norm if they deliver the goods and the experience.

  • You bet—rods, reels, tackle, and bait are all handed to you.

  • Nope, you're covered. Our charter license covers everyone on board.

  • Essentials: sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, non-slip shoes, maybe a light jacket. Snacks, water, and a camera are smart too.
