A huge thanks to Captain Ron! We had a wonderful experience with our half day trip. Ron is up for accomodating whatever you wish to experience. We caught a 21 pound permit and since I had very limited fishing experience he and the first mate were coaching me and helping they whole time. We went further out to try and... More

My wife and I had a great time! This was only our second time offshore fishing. Capt Ron went above and beyond in making this a great trip.. He definitely can find the fish! More

This was the second year that I was invited to a corporate event in Key West and as part of the activities, they had set-up several off-shore boats to do a little fishing. I was excited to see that Capt. Ron was again one of the charters. We couldn't of had a better time, and Capt. Ron was excatlly as... More

It doesn't get any better ... we have nothing but compliments for Capt. Ron, Nina, and Sterling ... our communication began with emails and ended with thank you's, hand shakes, and smiles! We saw all the spectacular reviews from previous fishermen/women on trip advisor (thank you for taking the time to write them, as they so help others make the... More

We took a family vacation to Key West and by far, of all the things we did, our day out with Capt. Ron was the BEST day of our trip. It was on a whim that we decided to charter a fishing boat, we found Capt. Ron on trip advisor and let me tell you, that the reviews did not... More

It is heartwarming to get hugs when the trip is over, and as with so many folks that come out with us it does end up feeling like we spent the day with family. It is our pleasure to to make your day on the water as comfortable as possible and to teach the 'rookies' how to get the fish... More

Sorry for the lengthy review to follow, but some folks out there are going to find this info helpful. First off, I’ve never taken the time to review anything – ever. I had to this time. Let’s start from the beginning… I LOVE offshore fishing. I’ve been on many charter trips – some good, some not so much, some flat-out... More

Well, if anyone does have questions, we'll just send them to your review. I think in a big nutshell you walked folks through the process from the phone calls to the last bite of filet. It is our mission to hook the 'youngsters' on the great sport of angling. The glow of the proud parent says it all. Thanks for... More

My wife and I decided to do a full day charter with Capt. Ron split between offshore and inshore while we were down in the Keys for our honeymoon. Offshore fishing started off slow due to real strong currents, and unfortunately the wife got seasick fairly early on so Capt. Ron suggested we cut the offshore fishing short and move... More

You guys were great! Hope the pup was ok after the long day without you and I hope you shared the bounty. I love the picture of you shaking life back into your hand after battling the Goliath. Our best to you both in the years ahead. C'mon back down and we'll hit em 'again. Thanks for fishing with us. More

While down in the Keys visiting friends, we had the opportunity to take a "half-day" trip with Capt.Ron. This was my first salt water fishing trip, Ron and Cory made sure that we all had the best expirence ever! We went out on the gulf to do some "wreck fishing". through numerous stops at different wrecks, we caught sharks, yellow... More

Having kids aboard always make the trip terrific. Kids and sharks are even better. There's something special about seeing a child's face light up with excitement and a certain amount of fear when they pull a shark up alongside the boat. Those days are unforgettable. Thanks for coming out with us. More

My friends and I spent two days on the boat with Capt Ron and his lovely wife Nina. It was my first time ocean fishing, but Capt Ron was very helpful and I learned quickly the proper techniques to catch the fish myself, not just be handed a already hooked fish. We landed Yellow tail Snapper, Grouper, Dalphin (Maui Maui)... More
