Fished in the Gulf this morning with Something Fishy Charters. Captain Bill is an a great communicator and is very accommodating. He is a knowledgeable fisherman and helped us catch our fair share of fish for the day. When we got back to the dock, he cleaned the fish we caught and we ended up cooking it at a restaurant that night. We had such a fun fun experience with Captain Billy. We plan to fish with him again.

Capt. Billy was flexible and easy going. We caught snapper which Billy later cleaned for us.

Our group had the best time with Something Fishy. We ended up relaxing at the sandbar after fishing, which was a nice change of pace. Our kids have not stopped talking about this trip since (the charter was 3 months ago - lol).

This fishing charter was the highlight of our son's vacation. The captain taught him the names of several fish, how to tie a fishing knot, and how to cast a rod. It was so nice to see our son enjoying the outdoors. We thank Captain Billy for making that happen!

Boat was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed some great fishing and our three teenagers were entertained the entire day. We can’t say enough incredible things about Captain Billy. Thanks so much for a great experience on the water.

Capt. Billy put us on the fish (despite the conditions not being super ideal). Weather sucked - Billy made up for it!

We have fished with Captain Bill several times now. We are convinced he is one of the best captains in the lower Keys.

Captain Bill provided a fantastic charter. His boat road smooth and cut through the chop. He had all the bait needed which allowed us to catch a bunch of Snapper and Mahi. Best fishing charter in Key West!

Ended up booking a half-day sandbar charter. We appreciated the Captains easy going attitude and the way that he shared his knowledge about wildlife in Key West. Highly recommend booking with this company. Next time we are in Key West, we know who to call!
