Sheri Kane
Caught a sizable snook, and with Chandlers guidance was able to gently release it, he was extremely personable and also professional, a great combination.

I had the pleasure of fishing with Captain Chandler for two days, both times we caught a variety of different fish species. Good vibes throughout both days. We also had the pleasure of seeing tons of sea life which was awesome.

I had the day of a lifetime, fly fishing in the keys with Captain Chandler. We fought a few massive tarpon along with plenty of bonefish. If you are looking for a one in a million Charter, definitely get in touch with Captain Chandler.

Captain Chandler is one of, if not the best Captain in Key West, his patience, work ethic, and knowledge of the waters he fishes in is unparallel, we will be back.

Booked a charter spontaneously and happened to get Captain Chandler, I must have hit the lottery with how lucky I am to have had the pleasure of fishing with Chandler Williams. 10/10 captain.

Chandler worked extremely hard throughout our 4 hour day on the water to make sure we were having a good time and catching fish while doing so.
