Captain Chippy delivered a perfect day. The highlight was a beautiful Red Grouper, but we caught plenty of Yellowtail too. Super helpful and great with beginner anglers like me.
Booked with Captain Chippy for my birthday—what a day! The water was calm, the Snapper bite was solid, and we ended with a surprise Wahoo. Best birthday in years!
Couldn’t ask for a better day on the water. Grouper, Snapper, and even a Sailfish showed up to play. The 6-hour trip felt like a dream. Thank you, Chippy!
Our 4-hour morning trip was awesome! Caught plenty of Mangrove Snapper and even hooked a feisty Kingfish. Captain Chippy is a true professional and super friendly.
The Snapper bite was nonstop! Captain Chippy knew just where to go and put us right on the fish. My husband and I had the time of our lives. Can't wait to book again next season.
Captain Chippy is a legend! We booked the 8-hour trip and it paid off—we caught Grouper, Tuna, and Mahi. He cleaned the fish perfectly, and we grilled it that night at our rental. 10/10 experience.
Awesome charter! We started early and were pulling in Snapper left and right. Chippy’s energy and knowledge made the trip fly by. Everything was well organized and professional.
My husband and I had such a fun charter with Captain Chippy! We focused on Snapper and Grouper, and he knew exactly where to go. He even helped us find a local restaurant that cooked our catch.

Captain Chippy was phenomenal! We were targeting Snapper but ended up reeling in a surprise Kingfish too. He’s super knowledgeable and made the entire experience enjoyable—even for the first-timers in our group.

We had an incredible time fishing with Captain Chippy! The Snapper bite was non-stop and we even got into a few Mahi-Mahi. His boat was perfect for our group of four, and he handled everything from baiting hooks to filleting our fish afterward.

Captain Chippy is the best that Key West has to offer! I won't fish with anyone else!Â
