Ryan and Curt are awesome. I consider myself a very experienced fisherman and they really outdid my expectations. Caught the 2 biggest red snapper and red grouper, I've ever even seen. Even got to dredge up a couple massive sharks. These guys are good

The answer to Scot P's inquiry about cut and pack on ride back: have to be able to show catch ( short version: illegal to do that)! Now for the Best review Ever! This was great experience, very knowlegdable crew. "Dolphin Whisperer" was great! Words really can't express how awesome this first trip was! We had fish on the hook as soon as the bait hit the water. Crew was very pleasant and understanding when we got 'caught on the rocks'. Loved, loved, loved this trip and would recommend to anyone! They will be seeing us again, soon!

Ryan and Kirt are awesome to work with. This was the 4th time i've been out with them and there will be a 5th very soon for Red Snapper.
I told them I wanted to catch Amberjack and Big Grouper. Boy did we ever. We pulled up to their Amberjack spot and they came right to the surface to check us out. As soon as the bait hit the water, we were hooked up. We decided to only have 1 or 2 poles in the water because the action was so fast and furious.
We didn't catch big quantities of grouper this trip but the quality was unheard of. We caught several over 10lbs and a few pushing 15lbs. And boy were the blackened grouper tacos awesome to eat afterwards.
Outside the the fishing, one of my favorite things is the discussion on conservation. There isn't any pressure to keep all the keeper fish for the pictures afterwards at the dock to try to get more customers walking by. I'll keep what i'm going to eat and the rest go back for another battle next time we cross paths.
If I am going fishing.........I'm going with Fish Taxi Charters. I've been on a lot of other boats and am not interested in taking my chances on my experience anymore.

Had a great time fishing with Fish Taxi this past weekend! Captain Ryan did an excellent job of finding the fish for us. He doesn't just sit and wait all day. If the fish were not biting, or if we were not pulling in keepers, or when another boat came in and crowded our spot, Capt. Ryan would relocate to a better spot. Curt did a great job keeping our lines baited, even keeping up with our friend who was "donating bait" to the ocean all day! :) Dede helped a newbie like me with a fishing lesson and helpful tips. She also fished with us and gave us all of her keepers. The entire crew was great and we had a wonderful day with them. I never once felt intimidated, they laughed and cheered along with me as I struggled to pull in a big grouper…a good problem to have! I would highly recommend Fish Taxi for everyone from the experienced to the beginner, you will definitely have a positive experience!Â
(Thanks again Ryan, Curt and Dede! Hope to see you guys again soon for some fishing, a drink, or a Rays game!)

Went fishing with Fish Taxi in April of 2016 and had a great time and caught plenty of fish. The charter captain did everything possible to put us in a positon to catch fish. We caught a lot of mackerel, one huge grouper and quite a few sharks. Would highly recommend this charter and we plan on fishing with them again next year.

Me and 5 neighbors went out Grouper and Red Snapper fishing with Captain Ryan and Co-Captain Kurt. Within 1 hour and 10 minutes of actual fishing time, the 6 of us maxed out !! We caught and threw back over 25 fish !! Amazing trip. Highly recommend Captain Ryan.

This was one of my first fishing trips, and being able to top this one is going to be difficult. The captain and other staff were extremely friendly and helpful. If you're new to fishing or just want to brush up on what you need to do to catch a lot of fish these are your guys. They gave lots of helpful hints to get the most fish! They really made it a full experience. I would advise anyone to use charter any day.

Wow this was an amazing adventure. I've never been deep-sea fishing before and this Ryan put us on the fish fast. Kurt was helpful and gave us tips when we could of been doing something better. I can't think of a single thing, that could have gone better and can't wait to go out again.
