If you’re looking to experience a great day of deep-sea fishing in Marathon, Hennessey Sportfishing is who you should book with. Kerry was friendly, professional, and a very skilled fisherman. My husband and I had a blast. This was by far one of the biggest highlights of our trip.

We booked a four hour trip with Captain Kerry and ended up catching Mutton Snapper, Kingfish, and more. We even saw sea turtle, which was a highlight for my daughter. We absolutely recommend booking with this fishing charter moving forward if you're ever visiting Marathon.

Couldn’t have had a better experience on this fishing charter. Capt. Kerry is easy to get along with and knowledgeable. He put us on the fish and brought lots of laughs throughout the day. Thanks for being such a great host and showing us how fishing is done in the Florida Keys.

Book a full day trip with Captain Kerry. It was quite rough and my kids ended up feeling exhausted and tired. Nevertheless, we had a good experience overall. Captain Cary provides excellent customer service. Next time we would probably go for a shorter time. As we booked the full day, but for those who want to be in the water all day, the full day trip is a good option.

It is clear that Captain Kerry has a deep passion for fishing and loves what he does. He is incredibly patient and very experienced in offshore waters. After we fished, we got to spend some time snorkelling and relaxing at the sandbar. Worth every penny.

We didn’t have the greatest conditions, but Capt. Kerry kept us comfortable and taught us how to catch some awesome fish. When we got back to the dock, the Captain filleted our fish for us and we ate at the marina. One of the highlights of our fishing charter was seeing a few manatees swimming beside the boat. Kids loved it.
