“I'm hooked! Now I can't wait to go back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2012

My wife and I enjoy fishing and this was my first time fishing in saltwater. I felt like I stepped into one of those great Caribbean fishing shows that we Northerners watch – torturing ourselves through the winter. The Gulf was like glass as we shoved off and Captain Ted’s (CT’s) boat seemed more like a café racer (motorcycle) than... More

“Captain Ted Rocks”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 2, 2011

This was our second year of Tarpon fishing with Captain Ted Benbow. We had three excellent nights of noting other than world class fishing. My wife released a 130Lb Tarpon, and I followed up with a beautiful 70 pounder at sunset. Capt. Ted went out of his way to further our Key's fishing experience by squeezing in some back water...

“Terrific Tarpon fishing in Islamorada with Skins and Fins Captain Donnie Benbow”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 23, 2011

My daughter and I had a great fishing experience during the height of Islamorada's tarpon season with Skins and Fins' Captain Donnie Benbow. On a beautiful April afternoon he knowledgeably led us to the tarpon, patiently got them to eat, then skillfully guided the boat and me through the adrenaline-charged experience of reeling in an 80+lbs tarpon. What a thrill! More

Thank you for the great review on Capt. Donnie Benbow. Donnie is working hard to go from one of Islamorada's great young Anglers, to a up and coming fishing Guide. I am glad to have him as a Partner and a Son!! Captain Ted Benbow More

“Great Guide, can't wait to go again!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2011

I've gone out with Capt. Ted a few times. He knew right where the fish would be depending on the tides and time of day, and got me hooked up on several nice fish. Every time I come to the Keys, I book him for atleast a half day and I've never been disappointed! More
