Crew was professional but also really laid back which made the trip fun. We caught snapper and a decent grouper and even saw dolphins on the ride out. Definitely one of the highlights of our Keys trip.

Went out with a group of friends and had a blast. The captain knew where the fish are. We did a mix of trolling and bottom fishing. Beautiful day on the water too.

Great experience overall. We fished some wrecks and reefs around Marathon and caught snapper, grouper and a few other species. Boat has a lot of space so nobody felt crowded. Captain was easy going.

Had a great day fishing with the crew. The boat is awesome and rides really smooth even when the ocean picked up a little. We did some reef fishing first and caught a bunch of snapper, then ran offshore and got into a few mahi. Captains really know the area and worked hard to keep us on fish all day.
