Riley knew just how to put the kids into fish and handled them so well! (Both boys have ADHD and Riley was so patient!) He listened and carried on a conversation with our youngest for quite some time. Put us right on barracuda, cobia, sharks, and PERMIT!! Both kids said they had "the best day ever!" and wanted to know when we could go back and fish with Riley again. :)

I'll just say, DON'T BOOK WITH ANYONE ELSE. Josh is hands down the best guide in all of the keys,…read moreand Everglades. We have booked trips all over the place, Charleston, Cape Cod, Panama Canal, Mexico, etc.. and our experience with Josh was one of the best. He is a funny guy that can carry on a good conversation. This is important to me with a guide, as some can be stuffy and dead noise can be uncomfortable.. this will not happen with Josh. His skills of fishing are perfect for any experienced person or beginner fisherman or woman! We split our trip up and fished off the fly half the day and bait fished the rest, in Everglades park. Josh fished with us an entire 12 hours, he said "when you call it, we'll be done." And charged us his standard full day price. ANY guide we've ever had watches their watch and calls it at exactly 8 hours, or less. I can't stand guides that watch their watches.. Josh is very unique in this way. We caught all kinds of fish, some we didn't want to catch, like catfish and lady fish (but if you ask me, they were still fun to catch), but others we did want to catch like snook, redfish, trout, Jack's.. etc. We saw Gators, dolphins, sting Ray's, manatees, and giant sea turtles that came up along the side of the skiff boat. We checked around the keys for other guides prices and found that Josh was right in the sweet spot for his pricing (under what most charge by at least $50)... And he was definitely worth every single penny. Whether you want to fish the keys, the Everglades, or even for trout in Idaho, Josh is your guy. You will have a blast, I promise!!

Not only is he an incredible fisherman, he is a wonderful person as well. As other reviews have said, he's a great guy that truly cares about his guests on his boat. The only thing more impressive than his personality are his fishing skills! We caught 6 different species, including dolphin, tilefish, blackfin tuna and mutton snapper. Captain Kevin kept us on the fish all day. From bottom fishing for mutton snapper, to jigging for tuna, our arms had gotten tired by the end from catching so much fish! There's not much more you can ask for when going on a fishing trip! Another huge advantage is that his boat is located at the World Wide Sportsman Bass Pro Shops in Islamorada. So when you're done fishing you can have the Islamorada Fish Company restaurant cook up your catch several ways, family style! For anybody looking for a great captain to fish with while in the Florida Keys, I would highly recommend Captain Kevin Hennings with Angler's Answer.

- Charter booked 7am on 3/31/25 for 4 hours - We were told…read morebeforehand Captain Skye doesn't captain the boat anymore so we were promised new captain & first mate were great & experienced, but found out new Captain George (aka Captain Doc) is retired chiropractor (no details on his Captain experience) & the original planned first mate wasn't available so they needed to fill with inexperienced first mate who was a boat mechanic with little experience as a first mate - Launch took off on time at 7am, but before launch we were invaded by no see um bites & had multiple roaches running around the boat - After short ride they took about an hour to catch bait because bait wasn't in "mass quantities" and they didn't know how to use casting nets adequately while other captains pulled up to spot & pulled in 2 netful of bait fish & were off in less than 15 minutes - Fishing lines were inadequate & old for the targeted fish having multiple knots in the lines & one braid line was gummed up when used which ran out of line when we hooked up on the first & only fish. Captain commented that he had no idea who strung that line on the rod. - Spent over an hour at initial spot even though only catch were a couple of small yellow tail snappers. Only one-fourth of a 5 gallon pail was filled with 2 small boxes of bait store bought chum for the trip. Stayed at this spot an extra 30 minutes even though other charters left spot because they didn't catch anything or were catching small grunts. Captain stayed at this spot to snag bait not tending much to the clients while first mate sat there on his phone periodically. With chumming & casting technique fish should've hooked up within seconds of hitting the water (Captain even acknowledged this) but lines spent up to 5+ minutes in the water & same old bait was used over again switching to squid for a short period of time -Second spot spent about hour drifting over a reck with free line which were on out of date spin casting rods with 30# monoline that had knots all over the lines. Hooked up on 5 fish that we were told were "tuna" but rods / line had no power to real in fish & captain blaming us experienced fisherman partly our technique was poor. "Tuna" never got even close to the boat nor did any of the hooked "tuna" ever jump out of the water to identify if they were actually tuna. All lines broke off & we're told sharks bit them off but never reeled in a head to identify this was the case - Last spot we fished a reck by drifting over by it, bottom fishing with large rods with small pieces of bait. Sonar on the spot showed little activity & no attempt was made by the captain to find a spot where sonar showed better fish clusters. We caught one 8" lane snapper & 1 small blue runner (bait fish). Poles were so outdated and the poor line caused difficulties reeling in these small fish. -Captain called off fishing at that point around 11:30pm which was 4.5 hours after starting the charter at 7am. We got back to landing spot before 12pm - All in we spent time within approximately estimated 7-8 miles from the initial launch spot in inadequate depths that ranged from 60'-200' so no effort to use more fuel to get to better spots more offshore - Boat is old, outdated & unclean with wires hanging down in plain sight, and boat also lacked a windlass anchor (mechanical) which was used by all other charter boats around us - We spent $1,421 on the charter & left gracious $150 cash tip to first mate for his efforts (it was not the young man's fault). When discussed with Captain Skye afterwards he supported the Captain & first mate efforts with excuses & saying they work really hard, they catch fish "all the time" posting photos on Instagram (although pictures on their website & other venues were mostly 1-5+ years old) & we should feel fortunate that they spent extra time with us than they normally do - 1 fisherman our group used Captain Sky about 2 years ago & had success but without Captain Skye & adequate first mate this operation felt inept & have no problem taking people's hard earned money

Ok.. so I've never been ocean fishing before, but am in the Florida keys on vacation, so I figured…read moreyou know what let's charter a boat. Honestly I chose this place at random, and using all the reviews from various sources, and I am very happy I did. Captain Jeff was awesome. This was kind of a surprise for my wife and she was a bit apprehensive when she found out as she had been ocean fishing once before and didn't catch anything. Captain Jeff took us out, gave us a quick tutorial on how to bait the hooks with some nice juicy shrimp, and before my wife's first hook even hit the bottom she had a fish :-) Between her, my mother-in-law, and myself we caught a couple dozen easily. I noticed after the first hour or so kept and Jeff was working with my wife and had switched her bait to some little minnows at least it appeared to be minnows, and she was catching a little bit bigger fish including a nice dogfish. I was happy with this, as I was having a good time and she was happy too. He then looks at me and says so what do you think maybe we change position and catch something a little bigger? I say sure why not Now in my brain, something a little bigger means instead of the 2 lb fish we were currently catching maybe we'd get a 5-pounder of something. Oh no, that's not exactly what he was thinking. He switched fishing poles, put some "bait" on a hook that was honestly bigger than some of the fish I had just caught, tossed it over the side and handed me the rod. Didn't take very long I had what ended up being a 50/60 lb Greater Amberjack on the line, which wore me completely out in a short 6 minutes which is how long it took to bring it up. So yea, I'd definitely recommend Captain Jeff if your interested in a fishing trip near Marathon Florida.
