I was looking for a trip for me and my 17 year old son. I found Larry through the internet. Although I did my research and spoke with Larry a number of times before I made my decision, I really didn't know what to expect. All I can say is WOW! Larry really knows where the fish are and Forrest... More

We had fun but we didn't catch any fish. It was probably too hot since it was in August. More

I've fished my whole life and never had an experience like this. Two big sailfish, snapper and mahi. Been out with Larry and crew a few times and always fill the cooler. Very professional and accomodating. A best bet for fishing in the Keys! More

A charter trip with Captain Larry should be a requirement for everyone that visits south Florida. We take a trip with him every year when we visit our family in Miami. He treats us like old friends and we always come home with a great catch even when other boats haven't had any luck. Captain Larry and his First Mate... More

I had a great time fishing with Pirate's Choice. I immediately felt at home on his beautifully restored Merritt. Larry and his crew are professional and courteous. His rates are exactly as published. Larry is the consummate host. His ability to find where the fish are biting is just incredible. We went out in a fairly quiet time, but still... More

Larry and his first mate Gary took me and my son out fishing over the Christmas holidays. I was a great trip, these guys are honest, professional, and most important, they know what they are doing!!!! We caught some great kings, and a trophy sized sail fish. You can trust Larry to have a great trip. When he quotes the... More
