My husband and I and two other couples went out with Jeff last weekend. It was a fantastic fishing experience. He found some great spots to bring in the fish. We caught many fish (of course not all keepers) but plenty to feed the six of us dinner. We will be booking with Jeff again. Super nice guy and suggested we take the fish to a local restaurant to cook. Schooner Wharf cooked it and it was excellent.

We went lobster diving with captain jeff on the first day of lobster mini season 2025 and had the most incredible time. Conditions were great and Jeff did an exceptional job putting us on lobster as well as helping up catch them. Highly recommend booking with captain jeff for any charter, he will work hard to put you on whatever you want. We will definitely be back.

Glad you had a good time man. Thanks for being troopers with the rough weather!
It was a great day. Captain Jeff was very professional. We went to the sandbar. And he took me to a spot with a bunch of rays. And explained a lot of the lower keys sea life to me! I was very comfortable on the boat.

Thanks Natia!
We had a fabulous day on the water with Captain Nice Guy Jeff! Even though it was a windy day for our trip, Jeff found 2 fabulous places for us to enjoy snorkelling a local shipwreck (with fish including barracuda and sergeant majors!) and an amazing island where we had a long and luxurious walk on the secluded beach. We had cold drinks and got to borrow great snorkelling gear, too!! Thanks for a great day, Jeff, and definitely see you next time we are in Key West!!

Captain Jeff the Fish knows the Caribbean seas better than Captain Jack Sparrow. I was very impressed when he was judging the wind and the tide when he was choosing which sandbar to go to. He can tell you all the heroic stories of the little key islands and all the military history. Ask him how he got his nickname!

Thanks Paul!
Great guy and got us on many fish in windy conditions. Captain Jeff even extended the trip a little because the fishing was so good. His local knowledge was key in trying out different spots. He even recommended a killer spot to take our fish to be cooked for lunch at Hogfish bar and grill.

I am not a big review guy but the trip my family (wife and 4 kids) had today was amazing!! Jeff really took care of everything and my kids caught fish like crazy making memories that will last a lifetime!! Honestly, just a great day!

Thanks John. That's what it's all about for me/us! You got an easy going family. And your daughter was super well behaved while y'all fished. I'm thinking she should get desert before her next meal or something

We were lucky to book this charter on less than a days notice. We couldn’t have asked for a better guy than captain Jeff to take us out for the day. He was very knowledgeable, patient and helpful to a couple of novice anglers like my wife and I (she out-fished me 10-1). We’ll certainly be booking again next time we’re in town.

Great day on the water with Captain Jeff! He worked tirelessly to ensure that we had a great time! He did a wonderful job of getting my kids really engaged and eager to learn about ocean fishing techniques. Highly recommended!

Ran into some people who highly recommended this charter for a fun afternoon on the water and it did not disappoint. Captain Jeff was a great host and knowledgeable about the area. He has years of experience on the water and it shows. Great trip.

Great guide, flexible, fun and helpful. Caught a bunch of fish for dinner and he fileted them for us before we left. Have done a number of fishing charters in my years and would come back to this one for sure.

Hey, Mr Nice Guy here, and these are my sandbar charters. As a Key West Local, I know that the sandbar experience is one of the best things to do here in Key West. Relax with your group, enjoy the sun, drink a cold Corona, bring some sandwiches, and enjoy! I offer a half day or 3/4 day. There are plenty of sandbars in Key West waters. Depending on the experience you want, would depend on the sandbar we travel to. We will venture out to a crowded sandbar if you wanted to be part of the Key West local crowd or if you prefer, go to an abandoned island, where everything will be isolated and private!
