Came to Key West on the Disney Magic cruise ship. Booked a 4 hour fishing charter with Captain Conch. Trip included Dad, Mom, 13 year old daughter, 11 year old daughter and 5 year old son. Excellent fishing day all around. The captain and mate were both excellent and made the whole family feel comfortable and confident. We caught 10... More

We had a wonderful time even though the seas were very rough. Our first mate Gary, worked very hard on the lines and was polite and good natured.....(even while my head was over the side of the boat). Captain John was very professional and concerned about our safety. We fish in Key West every year but this is the first... More

Sounds too good to be true and it usually is. Fishing, pick-up, drop-off and lunch included all for $180 a person on a shared trip. I should have spent the $700 on a private trip with a real tour operator. I made the mistake of booking through my hotel. This was a joke. The crew, mainly the mate was grumpy... More

Started off good but quickly turned horrible. Crew was nice enough but was really short and unattentive with the group of anglers. First mate Bobby never gave us a safety talk or explained where any life jackets or safety equipment was stowed. Usually the 1st mate baits the hook and asks if you want them to cast or not, they...

Great day on the water with Captain Gary and first mate Nick. Boat was clean and very comfortable and crew was professional and very friendly. And the fishing was good too...caught dolphin, blackfin tuna, wahoo, etc.

We had a great trip with Richie and Mike. The water was a bit choppy but Richie laid out a plan that got us to the fish early and made the ride home very smooth. Wihin five minutes of dropping our lines four of us were in chairs reeling in Mahi Mahi. Had a great haul during the trip and... More

Fishing is a MUST if you're coming all the way to Key West and this crew is exactly who I'll call when I return. They were awesome! 14 mahi in 4 hours, great nose for finding hot spots and hella nice guys. Good times!
