8 Hour Trip on October 24, 2024

Went out for a full day Trip with Captain Joe and had a great day. We always take a fishing charter every time we go on vacation. We have seen all types of captains and crews (all over the world).Capt. Joe and his team is one of the best we have experienced on a charter. He is extremely knowledgeable always changing things up when they are not biting. He is also very personable and you can tell he wants to catch fish for you. We had a great day, caught yellow tail, grouper, kingfish, and snapper. When we go back to Islamorada we will only fish with Capt Joe! Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

8 Hour Trip on June 10, 2024

At the start of the full day trip we asked Capt Joe to get us on Mahi or Tuna… he got us on both! Came back w 20 mahi, 2 tuna, 11 yellowtail, and a bonita. Our haul was easily bigger than any of the other charters. You know it’s a good day when you start feeling sorry for the people on the other boats once you see how little they brought back. Jess was not only the hardest working first mate I’ve ever seen, but she also has the fishing knowledge to back it up and gave us plenty of great tips. Everyone on board was beyond impressed with her. Next time we come back to Islamorada, I know who to call.

1 hour trip on April 2, 2024

We booked last minute, wanted to catch something/anything cool before we flew out early the next morning. Captain Joe and first mate Jessica were very accommodating and made our quick experience very fun! Landed two big barracuda! From their entertaining personalities to watching the live bate to the fight once we hooked the fish and everything in between, we had a blast! Book with Captain Joe! You won’t be disappointed!

Great crew. It was my son’s 12 birthday. He had an amazing time catching yellow snappers and barracudas. Highly recommended.
