Captain James and his first mate were incredible. He took me and my buddies out for my bachelor party and we all had an absolute blast. James and his first mate even jumped in the water and worked with us. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Highly recommend. Was the best experience!!

My family and I just finished two days of charter with Captain James. Both he and his mate, Scott , were awesome. Not only did they put us on the lobster, but their laid-back demeanor and friendly personalities put everyone at ease and made the trip super enjoyable. We hit our limit on lobster before noon time. The boat is very safe and comfortable for a party of six. I recommend them wholeheartedly and look forward to going out with them again next year.

We just got back from a trip to the keys and hired Captain James to take us lobstering for 2 days and it was amazing. He went above and beyond for our group to make sure we had a great time and got on the lobster! Already booked him again for a future trip!

Awesome time lobstering with Capt James! We booked him for both days of mini season and it was our best decision. Capt and his two deck hands Scotty and David were amazing. We are already planning to book with him next year. His knowledge of the area and the fact he grew up on these waters, showed in our final lobster numbers. Highly recommend him for all your Key West Charter needs. Except next mini season because our family is booking him ?

My family went on a 6hour trip. We had a great time. Very good with young folks and extremely attentive to my wife’s comfort. Will definitely fish with them again.

We had an awesome fishing adventure with Captain James! It was a super family-friendly experience that we'll never forget. Captain James was incredible with my son, who is a young and passionate fisherman. He patiently taught him the ins and outs of fishing and helped us reel in some great catches. We chose the 4-hour inshore fishing trip, and it was just the right amount of time for my 10-year-old. If you're looking for a fishing charter that's perfect for kids, you've found it! Our morning trip with Captain James was absolutely fantastic.

From the minute we stepped on the the dock at the marina I knew we were in great hands. Captain James stood , firmly at the helm, like Poseidon. He deftly loaded and iced the 6 cases of beer and 12 packs of high noons .The wind was out the south and toyed with his beard like a of sargassum. His arms were like dock pilings.He had us on lobster within 30 minutes. He knew the veins and sinew of the back bay ledges like no other guide I have chartered.We were within our limit in the first two hours, but like a skilled conch he knew when to slow down and make the finish worth the wait.We edged, back and forth, in and out along natural ledges until finally we reached our limit.Captain James got us to the finish. 5 stars.

We had such a great time with Captain James! He is very professional and down to earth. We caught so much inshore fishing and he knew the best spots to take us! We are looking forward to our next trip to Key West and trying the sandbar excursion and fishing with Captain James and his crew.

Captain James was Awesome for our group lobster and sandbar dayCaught lots of them in shallow water which was easy for the beginners. Great personality and easy to get along with.

What an awesome day we had on the water! For our first time ever lobster fishing we caught our limit! All thanks to our phenomenal Captain, Captain James. Couldn’t have done it without him! I highly recommend taking any and all fishing charters with Key West Conch Life Charters. Captain James went above and beyond for our group, ensuring we had the best possible experience. Thank you and we cannot wait to come back to the Keys!

Capt. James did a great job. My teenage sons and I went and caught several Mahi, and really enjoyed spending a day with James. We had lunch together afterwards to cap off a great day.The boat was big, well equipped and clean. Don’t hesitate to book a trip with Capt. James.

James showed us a great time out on the keys. He put us right on the fish, had everything we could need. The boat and the views were beautiful. He made sure to bring us to a few locations for different catches and stopped us off on the sand bar to relax at the end of the trip. There’s nothing better than fresh fish cooked up at the hogfish! Thanks for a great day, we will be back as soon as we can!

Jimmy and his wife were awesome, took us out on Easter and got us on the fish!!!!

James Hoffmann

Captain James is an impressive young man. We fished in a great spot that allowed us to watch the Blue Angels. After we caught enough for dinner, Captain James took us on a scenic tour of the back country. This kid will be very successful!
