We had an awesome time ! Made our little guys world to catch a mahi mahi & barracuda! A day later still talking about it . Also nels was right that wahoo was the most delicious thing we have ate! Thanks again!
We went out with Tony and Will today and had a blast. First time deep sea fishing for half our group and they did not disappoint. We limited out on tuna for the day. A definite must do on your trip to Key West!!!
Great staff we had captain sparky and first mate John. They are so knowledgeable and have a eye like no one else. We got to experience a almost chance on a blue marlin but he got away due to no more line on the reel. This is one of the best experiences of my life with a truly hardworking amazing staff that wants their customers happy. We will be back for more fish soon happy with our Mahi-mahi we did catch
We had an exciting time catching fish of a lifetime with Captain Tony and Nells on the Sanctuary! My daughter and son in law always dreamed of catching a sailfish and that dream came true!! My son caught a really nice black fin tuna too. Even though those were the only fish we caught we all had a blast!
We went out on an 8hr trip with Captain Dalton and 1st Mate Jesse. We caught Mahi, blackfin tuna, and a yellow jack. They did a great job and we will definitely use this charter again.
Had a great time with this charter. We caught 6 Mahi Mahi, a shark, and lost a Wahoo. I maybe would have appreciated a little more instruction on the gear and review of safety. Otherwise, these guys were polite, funny, and very motivated. Kids had a great time! Thank you Captain Blue and Russia!!!
Pretty good day overall. I thought the trip was a little overpriced for the fish we caught. No big fish only yellow tail snapper. We were supposed to have 6 people on the boat, luckily only 4 showed up. 6 would have been pretty tight.
Great day of fishing on the Sanctuary with Captain Nels and Dalton! The fish were practically jumping in our boat! 17 keepers! They were both very knowledgeable and knew exactly where to take us to fill that cooler full of fish! Thanks for a great day!
10/10 experience with Captain Bobby and first mate Jesse. Would highly recommend, they were very good at showing you how to do stuff. Very nice guys, fun to fish with, definitely would go with them again!!
The crew was great! Capt. Nels got us on fish fast and the action didn't stop. Definitely recommend!
As a 24 year resident of Key West, and having been out on multiple boats , Cowgirl was BY FAR , the best experience I have ever had . Cpt Mark and mate John were amazing !!! They knew exactly where to go , and definitely put us on the fish . If you’re looking to go fishing in Key West , look no further than Cowboy/ Cowgirl charters .
Went out the day after the hurricane and followed the frigate birds to the sailfish. Great day with sailfish and a few barracudas thrown in. Capt and mate Will were great. We will see them again!
We had a great morning with Captain Chris and Will! There was some sailfish excitement off the back end of the boat and we came home with a bunch of beautiful mahi! Great music and conversation, can’t wait to book with these guys again!
