I am a Midwestern girl, so I am no idea what heatstroke was all about. I found out real quick oh, and that is when we found JV Rental. The gentleman behind the counter was as sweet as sweet could be. He understood our predicament very well, and it was literally less than five minutes from filling out the paperwork to taking off in our golf cart. We were a group from Margaritaville and Margaritaville has electric golf carts, so driving a gas, golf cart was a bit different, a little rougher, but all in all the experience was amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you J. V. Rental. You literally saved this Midwestern girls life because apparently unbeknownst to me I had a really bad case of heat stroke. You are simply the best.

The knowledge and fun they both had and shared with us was top notch! Not only did they teach us all so much but they got us on fish and had a blast the entire time!

They will do whatever it takes to get you on the fish and to make sure you have an awesome time doing it ! We can't rave enough about Debi and Jason and how awesome of an experience we had, and overall just great people they are! We will DEFINITELY be back very soon and are happy to say we are leaving The Keys with 2 new friends ! Cheers !

I'm a little late for the review, but I've been running at the speed of sound since we got back…read more But OMG, what a time. Usually a long holiday weekend in the Keys is a challenging thought, as the traffic and weekend warriors tend to make a 4 hour trip into an 8 hour one, but given the break in the work schedule and the weather report, along with a highly recommended fishing charter operation out of Summerland Key, it was time to test the traffic gods and head south for a few days. We made it in record time, amazed that we arrived in time for sunset! We found our accommodations, settled in for the night, and enjoyed the most beautiful sky full of stars that can only be seen in these "away from the city" places, where the background light doesn't affect your view of the heavens. The next morning, we met up with JT and Debi Gabriel, gathered our belongings, and boarded the "fishing machine" for our day on the water. , being fair skinned Canadian and a desk jockey, completely covered myself in SPF80 sunblock for the day out on the water. The boat was roomy, had all the modern conveniences (we were able to charge our phones, enjoy our choice of music, enjoy beverages and lunch, fully equipped with all the modern navigation technology you could imagine). After helping load the bait wells with bait (fun!) we left on our adventure. The bay water was like a lake, calm, not a ripple. We stopped for gas at a local marina, where I picked up a pair of surf mocks/water shoes for $14 as my original footwear was not appropriate for the journey, as I was forewarned my apparel may be adorned with souvenirs of our trip, like fish blood and guts if we haul in a monster. Glad I did. We headed out east/southeast, for the first time in my life I was in a boat (other than a cruise ship) offshore out of plain sight of land. We crossed not one but two shipping channels as loaded freighters were heading south, and spotted a huge sea turtle along the way (very cool!). Finding frigate birds and weedlines we slowed down and hit a school of Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), where JT and Debi helped us with rods and bait, and before we knew it, we're reeling in fish in a fishing frenzy! We boated a few, kept the legal sized ones (one HUGE fish), and continued on for a while. Finding a fishing spot he knew from before, JT employed a power reel/rod combo for deep water bottom fishing. An impressive technical rig of multiple hooks, lights, etc. As we couldn't believe how calm, serene, and flat the ocean was today, and the partly cloudy skies gave us a little bit of relief from the powerful sun and heat, we enjoyed lunch and beverages waiting for our "guests below to announce their arrival". Next thing we know, JT's reeling up the line, and we have a beautiful tilefish in the cooler. Fifteen minutes later, a good sized snowy grouper! We realized the time and began to head back in, slowly trolling in the hopes of catching something, when we saw porpoises breaking the water in the distance. We slowed down and found huge (OK, 14 feet of shark is huge to me) sharks slowly circling the boat. We needed to empty the bait well anyway, and it was happy hour for the sharks, as the small bait fish hit the water, the graceful creatures helped themselves to our hors d'oerves. We soon had four to five of them, almost like a water ballet, circling on both sides of the boat, keeping us company while we had fish to offer. It was very impressive, and a memorable moment. We headed back to the dock, where JT cleaned/filleted the fish, and Debi cleaned out the boat and helped us gather our belongings. We cleaned up ourselves and were invited for dinner where we enjoyed the fish caught on our adventure, along with a few cocktails. The stars were out again, and some celestial event with Mars and Venus took place, and were clearly evident and visible to the naked eye. An absolutely amazing day and night, I highly recommend Boneafide Charters for anyone wanting to enjoy their day on the water in the Keys, for fishing, snorkeling/eco trips, and more.

I cannot say enough negative things about this company and the owner.Run far and fast…read more Friend and I booked a half day excursion. For the TWO OF US. We wanted our own boat and captain and not the annoying aspect of sharing a boat with strangers and dealing with small talk. We specifically listed what we wanted to do: kayak, paddleboard, fish. That was precisely on our order form. We also specifically noted that snorkeling was not an option. I had a procedure on my ear and could not submerge my ear in water. We book, we pay. We call the next day to confirm because we hadn't received any notification by phone or email. Leave a message and the owner calls at 9 pm the night before our scheduled excursion the next morning. He tells us that there was a mixup online and they don't have enough boats/captains. Say what? We were pissed. It was our last day and it was too late to schedule a new excursion. My friend let him know that this was riduculous. about 30 minutes later he calls back and lets us know that it's all worked out, everything is fine, see you tomorrow morning. We show up the next morning and it was a shit show. Our captain comes in, Scruffy, and greets us. Takes us out to the dock and shows us the boat we are going to be on and that we just have to wait for the other employee to come back with the bait. We sit. Then sit some more. Next thing you know, we are introduced to a family and find out that we are all sharing a boat. WTF. We paid money for the TWO of us for a half day excurision and to have our own boat. It wasn't cheap. At all. We explained that this is wrong. We are then told that they had a large party make an appt so the other boat was reserved for them. Basically, screw you. We are making tons more money with this large party. The boat for 5 guests and the captain was a joke. 2 people could sit up front on this little boat , the other 3 sat on Yeti coolers. Scruffy explains our plan for the day: snorkeling and swimming. We chime in that snorkeling/swimming is not an option and not what we paid for and where are the kayaks and paddleboards? The FAMILY paid for an all day excursion and that's what they requested. Hence, more people and all day = more money. Both of us at that point are pissed. Scruffy says he will squeeze on paddleboards, but kayaks are going to fit. YOu know, because we were on a boat that wasn't big enough for the people on it. Then proceeds the issue regarding our half day excursion vs the family's all day excursion. Scruffy starts trying to get us to upgrade to an all day excursion so that he doesn't have to cut into the family's all day tour. We weren't about to pay more money for the shit show that was taking place and tell him too bad, we aren't doing an all day because I wasn't about to sit my ass on a boat while everyone swam and snorkeled. That wasn't what we paid for. We get on the tiny ass rinky dink boat and head out. We go to a little island. Scruff drops us off, gets the fishing gear out and takes us around a bend of the island. He drops us off in a little cove, asks if we know how to fish and then says he will be back in a few hours because he is taking the family snorkeling by a boat wreck. WTF? So the two of us are in awe. We say we need our bags, our lunch, some WATER while we are left Gilligan's Island style in some random cove. He leaves us. We start fishing. Something starts biting us. Biting us ALL.OVER. The little cove was infested with sand fleas. Both of us were covered with sand flea bites. If you know sand flea bites, you know how god awful itchy they are. We immediately got the hell out of there and went to the main part of the island/sand bar is where other charter operations were. We then proceeded to hang out waist deep in the water because I can't get my damn ear wet. About an hour/hour and half later, the boat rolls up. We tell Kermit that we couldn't fish because of the sand flea infestation. We want to paddleboard since we are stuck on this island. We paddleboard, are hanging out... and an hour later Scruffy yells to us that it's time to go because our time is up, BUT we can add another hour for an extra $100 a person. Uh, hell to the no. We paddle in. Get on the boat. The obnoxious father proceeds to push us towards staying. Obviously they didn't want to waste an hour of their time paid for the charter while schlepping is back to the dock. At this point we are furious. We did nothing but paddleboard for an hour and get bit by sand fleas and sit in water. That's it. It cost us $250 a person for that crap. Furious. we get dropped off, get in the car and my friend who booked wrote the owner Rob (? I think is his name) and told him there were major issues and to call us. Nothing that day. We call, we leave messages. Nothing. We call again. We FINALLY get an email from him. long story short, this was an expensive and unprofessional piece of garbage charter. STAY AWAY.

He then led the way back to the boat. It's definitely worth it and you'll be in good hands!! The views you get is worth it, I love the mango trees personally.

This was our second stay at the Westwinds Inn. We stayed for 5 nights in a King Deluxe, room 405…read more This room is located upstairs in a street front building to the right of the main building. Our room was located on the backside of the building. Street noise was minimal, but yes the roosters will wake you up in the early morning hours. The Westwinds Inn provides a nice breakfast option of bagels, muffins, cereal, hard boiled eggs, fruit, coffee/hot tea and juice. This year they added a poolside Happy Hour on Wednesday - Friday from 3-4:30pm with beer, wine and some canned cocktails. It was a nice social time to meet others in the late afternoon. I hope they continue to have this for guests. The property is well maintained and our room was clean. The housekeeping staff made up the room everyday while we were out and provided fresh towels. The bathroom was nicely renovated with a blow dryer in the drawer and small bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The room itself is pretty tiny with a very small amount of walking room along one side of the bed. It made it slightly difficult to use the cabinet for your clothes on that side of the room. If you are a larger person or have mobility issues then this room is not for you. Resting in bed and looking out to watch the tops of the palm trees sway in the breeze was a lovely view. Again, we rented bikes from Eaton bikes (on the corner) which is convenient. Westwinds also has a large bike rack in the property to use.
