Before departing Randall covered all of the features of the boat as well as the Safety aspects. We have never boated in this area before and Randall went into great detail on how to get to areas we wanted to visit. He gave us signs to look out for and how to enter inlets and channels. The boat was super easy to handle and the whole rental process was super easy. Thank you for renting your boat to us we had a fabulous day!

We went out with Captain McLaughlin and his mate last summer and we had the best fishing experience…read moreI think I have ever had. While the large fish like giant grouper decided not to bite that day, we still caught near 100 fish. The crew was extremely accommodating and fun to be around. If you are in the area, I would most definitely recommend Capt. McLaughlin. Next time we are in the area, we will definitely look to him first.

I've been fishing for a long time and I've been out with many guides from all over the world but…read morethis is the first time I felt compelled to write a review. Another Keeper Charters, specifically Capt. Tom McLaughlin and his mate Brandon were about as good as they come. They put us on so many damn fish over the course of the day that we could barely reel them in anymore. I'm not talking about small fish, I'm talking about HUGE fish! Amberjack, jack trevally, barracuda, permit and several Goliath Grouper that were the size of mini cooper's with fins! Their knowledge of the area, fish, tackle etc was remarkable. My girlfriend is a beginner at fishing and they had her cranking in giant fish in no time. One of the best things about fishing with these guys is that they were having just about as much fun as we were . There is nothing worse than spending the day out on a boat with some cranky, salty old dog who's staring at his watch all day because he doesn't feel like "working". Don't get me wrong, these guys worked their ass off but the guys at Another Keeper clearly love what they do and it shows. Do yourself a favor and book a trip with these guys. Bring a camera and be prepared for the trip of a lifetime!

Fantastic 8 hour trip with calm waters and overcast. (July 12th 2026)…read more Hit our limit on grouper, caught a large ARS, and a King Mack. Also filled the boat with a variety of smaller snapper (lane, mangrove). Captain Kaelin & his deck hand were very professional and knowledgeable of the area waters. They got us on the spot and knew when it was time to move to the next. They kept us pulling in fish all day. Their boat was extremely clean and had plenty of seats/bean bags for a group of 6 to ride in comfort all day. The boat was also quite fast, so less time riding and more time actually fishing. Cost of trips change often, so id reach out to the charter for pricing, but i will say it was more affordable compared to some of the other charters in the area and on par for what i felt comfortable spending.

DO NOT BOOK!!!!!!!! Friend launched off and almost run over. Now, the owner will not call back or…read moregive us a refund after the absolute worst day. I never write bad reviews but I cannot emphasize enough how terrible this experience was. We booked a boat for a bachelorette party two months in advance and had a very clear plan. A driver called the day before to review the itinerary and said they did this every day. We had a driver who had to stay on the phone with "captain Todd" the entire ride because he had NO IDEA where he was going or what he was doing. We were told we would go to a beach. instead, the driver attempted to beach the boat and drifted into other boats with children close by. We had to leave the area. He continually drove over fishing lines as people got very angry due to his close proximity to every boat we saw. Then, HE GOT LOST taking us back. Instead of an expected 45 minute boat ride back to the dock, he went the wrong direction and it took 2.5 hours to return. The driver asked we help him while we dock the boat and he told my friend to 'throw the rope on the second pole' . He rammed into the dock and my friend was launched into the water. She is scraped up and could've been ran over. I was also promised a speaker. The speakers did not work and we were lost in the ocean with complete silence. Now, the owners will not call me back or give me a refund.

Captain Thacker and his team know diving and better yet, they know sharks teeth and being that you…read moreare probably interested in that if you're diving in Venice, this is the place to go! Steve Thacker used to be a geologist and the man knows his stuff! He'll give a run through of the bones and teeth you will find at the bottom and take you to 2 different locations for big and small sharks teeth, some of which are jewelry-grade and would be lovely on a necklace. There were cold drinks (water and soda) on the boat and cookies were passed around between the 2 dives, though my husband and I would have preferred fresh fruit. Russ was the helper on-board today, great guy who grew up here and going to school in TN right now and working here during the Summer, very helpful and made it easy for us when we were queasy from the boat rocking :). The shop is fully outfitted with gear and equipment and shark's teeth in case you want to buy them and tell friends at home that you scoured the bottom of the ocean for it :). Afterwards make sure to grab a beer and a bite at Fisherman's Wharf.

Staffed by very experienced knowledgeable and helpful people it offers equipment sales, service, rentals and dive trips. I had a great time with them diving and strongly recommend them. It's an especially rare treat to have no rushing going on. As most dives are shallow, 90 min a tank is normal for most divers and their two tank trip gives you 2 x 90 min on the shallow stuff. Where else can you get that? Virtually all dive boats rush divers into less than 45 minutes. I rented gear for shore dives, did a dive boat trip and bought some minor gear. Loved it and will be back.

Have to say I am truly impressed with their work, I have had some great details in the past, but my boat has never looked this good before, even brand new. Highly recommend them; professional, hard working, obsessive about the quality of their work, and very competitive pricing. Also recommend their ceramic coating service as they are certified on it and use only the best products - compare that with others who use gimmicky ceramic products that do little to protect your surfaces long term.
