6 Hour Trip on August 5, 2024

Eric was an excellent Captain for our fishing trip. He was great with our two teenage girls that wanted to fish, but didn’t want to touch the bait! He kept them baited and explained how to catch the fish and was very patient with us all. We were fishing in the days after the TS Debby weather and Eric helped us craft our trip to accommodate the rough weather conditions and the girls caught several fish. When he could tell the kids were “fished out” he suggested we go search for dolphins. We found a beautiful pod of about six dolphins with a baby which was an amazing way to end our trip that day! We’d definitely use Laid Back Key West Charters again when in Key West and would recommend him to everyone!

6 Hour Trip on September 14, 2023

Captain Eric was excellent ! We had so fun! My husband and I, our two daughters and their husbands went out for a day of fishing, snorkeling and sand bar hopping. We managed to get in fishing and the sand bars, but the moon jellies had other plans so no snorkeling. But plenty of laughs and great memories were made! I would highly recommend!!!! What a great day!!!!!! ❤️Roop Family

Our captain was awesome. Real nice and he accommodated my family wishes. He customized to our needs and made it enjoyable for all. The fish were not biting but he kept trying. Sometimes you win sometimes you don’t. That’s why it’s called fishing. If you want a big box fishing charter this is not for you. If you like a laid back adventure this is for you. Highly revommend

4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 23, 2023

4hr am fishing and snorkeling was very cool! Eric was fun and patient and put us on some nonstop snapper action before taking us to a nearby reef to snorkel around and explore. After cleaning and filleting our catch, we had plenty for an amazing, fresh lunch and dinner! Highly recommend for a great experience 🤙🎣
