Boa Vida Charters is a locally owned Key West charter company led by a seasoned crew with deep roots in the Florida Keys. With a passion for life on the water and years of experience fishing, navigating, and exploring these iconic...
Captain Maryann, Captain Sean, Jason, and the rest of the crew have built a genuinely impressive reputation on the water. Reviewers consistently rave about their hustle, with the team known for moving spots, adjusting tactics, and flat-out refusing to head back until fish are on the boat. The range of catches speaks for itself: yellowtail, mahi-mahi, grouper, wahoo, sailfish, and more depending on the day. Beyond the fishing, guests appreciate how smooth the whole experience feels, from easy online booking and solid communication beforehand, to a clean, well-equipped boat and crew that fillets your catch before you leave. Families with kids get a lot of love here too, with several parents noting how patient and engaging the captains were with younger anglers. Slower fishing days do happen, as they do anywhere in the Keys, but even on those trips reviewers walk away happy because of the effort and professionalism on display.
Great trip with 1st mate Sean and Captain Jay. Lots of weeds which made Mahi fishing tough but they pivoted to reef fishing and we almost maxed out on Yellowtail Snapper. Smart guys and they worked hard all day. We loved them.
