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.

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!

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!

Great experience! Highly recommend. James knows how to find and catch fish. We were on a family trip with kids. Caught 20+ keepers - did some snorkeling - dolphin watching - all in one fun, relaxing day. Captain James is easy going and a total professional. 5+ stars.

What an experience!! Capt.James knows these waters like the back of his hand. Lobstering when no one said we can this late in the season. Beautiful waters were great to be navigated by an old time local.

My son and I had a great time we did two trips , well worth it. We will be back!

Captain James took us out for a few hours this morning and when I say that we had a good time, THAT is an understatement. We had an amazing time, great banter, and a super smooth ride out to the best fishing spots. We caught a good amount of snapper and Captain James was gracious enough to hang out just a bit longer than our scheduled time…long enough to reel in a nice 7 foot lemon SHARK! He was just as into fishing as us and was incredibly helpful when it came to our first timer fisherman. What an incredible experience- we’ll be back again. I don’t think any captain can top this.

Great experience! The first day we went out deep sea fishing, caught a lot! On the second day, Captain James brought me to all the good spots for lobster. I limited out quickly!! We’ve been coming down to Key West for years, and this by far has been the nicest boat we’ve been on. Highly recommend using his services if you’re in the Key West area!
