Above The Cut Charters

Captain Bryce has built a serious reputation in Key West waters, and it's easy to see why. Reviewers consistently praise his local knowledge and hustle, with many noting that while other boats nearby were struggling, their group was constantly hooked up. He does his homework too, including pre-trip scouting to find the best spots before the lines even hit the water. Tarpon are clearly a specialty here, with plenty of trips producing multiple hookups on big fish, sometimes within the first hour. But Bryce keeps things dynamic, taking groups to several different spots and targeting everything from snapper to sharks depending on the day. Families with kids get a lot of mentions as well, with parents noting how comfortable and engaged he kept younger anglers throughout the trip. The overall tone across reviews is genuinely enthusiastic, which is saying something given how many fishing charters operate in the area. People come back, bring their families, and recommend him to friends without hesitation. If tarpon fishing in Key West is on your radar, Bryce seems like a guide worth locking in sooner rather than later.
