Fish On!

Captain Ross and first mate Colby hosted us on an incredible fishing adventure. We had some great moments with exciting chases, reeling in sailfish, snapper and tuna. The Swanson family highly recommends this activity. We sit at Chef Michaels awaiting our fresh catch, very satisfied with our fun day!

New Years Eve Fishing Extravaganza (Big Fish & Lots of Them)

Captain Ross and his fishing mate Justin took us out for a half day trip. We proceeded to catch plenty of yellow tail snapper and we were happy and content, but the fish were just over the legal limit to keep so Captain Ross said reel them in, we're moving to a new spot to catch bigger fish. And man did we ever catch bigger fish... We caught two huge cero mackerels, one gigantic mutton snapper and a bunch of large yellow tail snapper. Ross and Justin were very professional and you could tell they love what they do, We had a blast.

Family Fishing Day

Awesome day fishing with Captain Ross and First Mate Justin. Both are very professional and do their best to make it a memorable experience. My husband and son caught their first Sailfish and my son also caught his first Mahai, Kingfish and Trigger. Seeing my husband and son’s smiles were priceless. We hooked 7 Sailfish and landed 4, which definitely exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend fishing on the Early Bird and hope to be back over the summer for some more fishing.

Great day!

Captain Ross was amazing! Very knowledgeable and personable. He was willing to explain his thought process and the how/why he was doing things certain ways. We caught dinner and my first sailfish! His personality and demeanor made the day so enjoyable. We will definitely go out of our way to book with him again next time we are in Islamorada.

Full day charter

These guys are extremely hard working and we had a great time! They put us on some good fish despite the bite not being ideal. Will definitely book with them again.

Full Day Charter with Capt. Ross and mate Phil.

Awesome experience! Booked a full day charter with Captain Ross and his mate Phil. They worked hard to ensure we had a successful day of fishing. The boat is a good size, comfortable, and great for people with no sea legs since the rocking felt minimum compared to smaller center console boats. Although our goal was to catch a sail fish, we still ended up with a cooler full of meat. We caught Mahi and huge yellow tail. Captain Ross and Phil were very accommodating and took the time to educate you on how to successfully set the hook on fish. They were very personable and all around great guys! We couldn’t be more pleased with our charter with Captain Ross. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a charter down in the Keys!

Half Day Charter

Capt Ross and Justin were great. They worked very hard to find the fish and get us hooked up! Very nice boat and the equipment was top notch. Ended up catching a variety of fish but having the large mutton snapper and mahi-mahi filleted ready for lunch was the best! We will definitely be back.
