4 Hour Trip on January 9, 2025
I booked this charter for my family of 4 & it beyond exceeded our expectations! Captain Hoyt was very knowledgeable, personable & good with kids. I had booked for a not so good day weather wise, & he called the day before seeing if we wanted to switch to a better weather day, which I really appreciated his honesty, & glad we switched days. On our charter we caught a bunch of different types of fish in our 4 hours with him. I’m so happy I chose to do a charter with him instead of the hundreds around. I will definitely be booking with him for all our future Keys trips!!

4 Hour Trip on October 25, 2024
We've met with a very friendly, Captain Joseph, at the start of the trip. Very enthusiastic, thoughtful and courteous. Very knowledgeable as well. He would give out facts about the place and its surroundings which are very interesting. It's 20+minutes to the spot, anchored and got set up right away with the chum, baits, and the rods. It didn't take long before we catch our first fish and the place he took us to, gave us an abundance of different type of species- red groupers, lane snapper, yellow snapper, red snapper, mackerels, tons of ballyhoo, catfish, etc. The Captain is always right there and ready to give you bait, set of new hooks or litter when needed, taking the fish out of the hook, putting it back to the sea, etc. And he doesn't ran out of things to talk about and share along his tricks of the trade. It was a fun trip and one that we will never forget.

Fantastic fishing trip
4 Hour Trip on September 18, 2024
Wife and I chartered Joseph to take us out and everything was great. The captain was great explaining all of the fish we caught and techniques, boat was new and huge for the two of us, and we hit two of his favorite spots and almost limited out on snapper. He was a baiting machine that always wanted our lines in the water fishing during the four hours we were out there. We Ubered from Key West to Summerland Key which was an added expense - but all told still far cheaper than any Key West charter. This is a super value deal that Joseph offers and highly recommended!

6 Hour Trip on January 2, 2025
Captain Hoyt was professional , courteous, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We had a great time! He knew where to fish and what to fish with for whatever we wanted to catch. Excellent trip! Caught over 6 lbs of fish after fileting. We even wrestled a hungry hammerhead shark ! Highly recommend.

4 Hour Trip on November 20, 2024
Captain Joe took my wife and I out for a 4 hour trip. He taught us so much about the area’s we were in, the history of the area, elaborate details about each kind of fish caught, (there were a lot!) even a 6 ft plus Nurse Shark! Joe comes from a family of teachers and he taught us a tremendous amount of information and answered dozens of questions. We would recommend Captain Joe to anyone!! Thanks, Captain Joe!! - Jim and Shannan Newman
