About
Fishing Key Largo, Tavernier and Islamorada with Good Karma Sportfishing My name is Captain Ryan and I take extreme pride in offering a high end charter fishing experience. Good Karma is the only 24ft boat charter boat in the United States equipped with computer controlled gyroscope called a Seakeeper that eliminates most boat "rock and roll", including the fatigue. It is comparable to fishing on dock in the middle of the ocean! We are based at Tavernier Creek Marina and provide first class fishing gear, electronics and a customized charter boat. Good Karma offers private Key Largo, Tavernier and Islamorada fishing charter trips. This is not an open boat and we do not offer split charters. We are limited to 4 clients. I cater to all levels of fishing experience and work very hard at making sure your Florida Keys fishing charter is action packed. Capt. Ryan

There is no doubt you will catch amazing fish, but you will appreciate so much more. I was looking for a true fishing experience where I could learn, be very hands-on, catch nice sized fish and have a blast. Captain Ryan did not disappoint. It was very noticeable that Captain Ryan wanted me to be successful and went the extra mile to ensure that I was. I could really sense that his enjoyment was directly tied to my personalized experience and success out on the water. Captain Ryan did not simply hand me a rod after the fish was hooked and reeled in halfway to the boat. Rather, he encouraged a hands-on approach so that I could soak in every aspect of fishing, which made it incredibly more gratifying when I landed those big fish. He was patient and taught me when I asked for guidance and let me do my thing when I felt comfortable. I’ve had a lot of fun on other charters and they do their best to put you on a lot fish, however, I haven’t found any Captain out there who invests and focuses on the total experience, like Captain Ryan. Best of all, fishing with Captain Ryan is like fishing with an old friend. I highly recommend Good Karma Sportfishing if you want a fishing experience like no other!

Fishing with Capt. Ryan was like hanging with your cool uncle who wants to show you a fun time fishing and make sure you come home with some dinner.
The Seakeeper he has onboard is a game changer. If you don’t handle seasickness this is the boat for you. It was the only reason we were able to go fishing. We had not so good weather yet he knew his boat was safe and comfortable. It definitely was.
He made sure my companion—who was going deep sea fishing for the first time—was safe, well-prepared, and comfortable reeling in some quality catches.
This will definitely not be the last time we hang and fish.

My wife and I had a recent charter with Capt. Ryan and it was the best experience we’ve had on a charter. He truly cares about the time you have on the water, is honest in everything he does, and gives it his all to ensure you get hooked up with some great fish. His knowledge, skill, and ability to teach were amazing, which helped me land the fish of a life time. Not to mention he was very kind and patient in guiding my wife when she was fighting her fish. I felt like I was fishing with an old friend the entire day and can’t wait to book my next trip with him. Good Karma Sport Fishing with Capt. Ryan is the way to go for your fishing needs in the Florida Keys.

If you love fishing or want to try something new you have to book a trip with Captain Ryan. No trip to the keys would be complete without fishing with him. His love for the sport shows through and he does everything he can to put you on quality fish. I had an awesome day of fishing with him and can’t wait to come back and do it again.

Captain Ryan was awesome! We caught several hoggers! Grouper, Snapper, Tuna and several others. If we weren't biting or catching within 15 minutes he was switching something up; Bait, Pole, constantly ensuring that we were reeling them in. Thank you our fellow WI Capt! Ike & Susan

Booked a last minute trip with Good Karma and it was the best decision of our trip! We ended up with perfect weather. Ryan was an excellent captain and took us to some great fishing spots. You can tell he’s really passionate about what he does and wants to give his clients the best fishing experience! Conversation was easy with him and we caught a great dinner. Definitely will never book with anyone else in the keys, Ryan’s charter is a must experience trip!!

Captain Ryan knows his stuff! Up-to-date technology and gadgets make a complete day of fishing exactly that, FISHING. We went out fishing in June 2018 and 2019. Captain Ryan took us to great spots each time. The weather wasn't entirely cooperative in 2018 but we still caught fish. In June 2019 we caught plenty of fish and released some too. We'd have gone this year too is it wasn't for COVID-19. Perhaps next summer we'll be able to make it back to the Keys. Looking for some Good Karma.

We just got back from our family trip to the Keys and Captain Ryan is outstanding! He was easy to work with scheduling out trip, let us know what to expect this time of year, and set us up for a great morning of fishing by keeping us and our boys active, which was exactly what we wanted. He called the day before to get to know us and our kids to better prepare for the following day on the water. Once out fishing he explained what he was doing for our boys who loved every minute of it. He has lots of knowledge to share and enjoys passing it onto others. He got our boys (8 & 5) set up first and immediately started catching fish and we caught fish our entire trip. There were tons of laughs and smiles. We caught muttons, mangrove snappers, yellow tails, red & black groupers, and mackerel. Captain Ryan was calm and great with our boys and understands kids can lose interest at times but that doesn’t discourage him. Instead he kept our boys involved and was helping hook fish for our 5 year old then letting him reel in the fish. He let our boys help catch bait, bait & cast their own lines, and work the chum bag. Will definitely go out with Captain Ryan again. Check out his You Tube page and you can watch the video he made of our trip.
Thank you Captain Ryan for a great experience and look forward to fishing with you again!

Another awesome day fishing with Captain Ryan. It’s become a tradition every year we come to the Keys to go fishing with “Good Karma”. He puts us on the fish every time. His knowledge of the local waters and how to catch certain fish is on point. What put the day over the top was my son reeling in a nice Mutton Snapper on Father’s Day! Thanks again Captain, see you again next year,

He Jason,
Thank you bud! You guys are now my part of fathers day tradition. You are set for 2021 Fathers Day. That Mutton Snappers was a beast and your son kicked its butt! Catching that Amberjack was way cool, especially with 2 rods(laughing). Have a good one and thanks again.
