Captain Eric and Captain Ray have built a genuinely impressive reputation in the Keys, with reviewers consistently praising their knowledge, flexibility, and ability to make every outing feel personal. The Dry Tortugas charter is a standout offering, with guests describing it as multiple experiences rolled into one day, including national park exploration, snorkeling, dolphin sightings, and lunch on a private island. Fishing charters and backcountry tours draw equally enthusiastic feedback, with both captains regularly putting guests on fish and finding wildlife even when conditions are tricky. What comes through clearly across these reviews is how well the captains handle the unexpected. Bad weather, rough surf, mixed-ability groups, young kids, older guests, casual fishermen and serious anglers all seem to leave satisfied. Communication before the trip and a willingness to adjust plans based on conditions is something multiple reviewers called out specifically, which says a lot about how the operation is run.
This was our second time going out with Eric for a full day private charter. What a fantastic day it was - he got us on plenty of fish for cook your catch, time to snorkel, and took us to the best sand bar for play and a boat bbq. Don't hesitate booking him! It was the highlight of our trip to the Keys. #snipepoint #sandbar #keywest #charter #fishing #snorkeling
