Captain Nate went out of his way to make sure we had a good time, caught tons of fish. If you are in the keys/area definitely book with some of your spare time.

Best fishing charter in the area, we fished for half a day and caught about 50 pounds of mutton snapper, we even snorkeled with the remaining time.Â

I wasn't sure if I should bring food, I decided not to and was quite hungry towards the end of my 6 hour. Luckily there was a great restaurant nearby to cook our fresh catch.

My first cast, and I hooked into a big mahi, Nate was born and raised here and he delivers when he gets on that boat and gets ready for a customer.
