Testimonials
Great Spring Break Fishing Excursion!
My son and I wanted to try fishing in the keys during our families Spring Break Trip in March 2024. Captain Sal got us into fish right away and we caught a lot of fish and a good variety of fish. Sal cleaned them for us and we had more than enough to feed the whole family. Thank You Sal!

Lots of fish caught!
Sal was a great captain, stopped at a few spots, different species caught, Sal filleted our keeps and we enjoyed the fresh catch for dinner afterwards!
~ Natalie S.
Great 1/2 day trip with Captain Sal.
Big thanks to Captain Sal for a great day of fishing for me and my teenage son. We wanted an enjoyable experience where we hit on some fish, hopefully land a few keepers, and learn a bit more about the this area of the Keys. We caught our limits on snapper and look forward to enjoying them for dinner. Captain Sal is knowledgeable and personable. We’d fish with him again in a heartbeat.

A wonderful first time fishing experience
We had a great time with Sal. He was super friendly and knowledgeable as well as patient with pur lack of experience. Our daughter managed to catch the largest fish of all of us and Sal seemed most excited of all. It was a hog fish which he told us is the best tasting of all fish- but-the bad news was you aren’t allowed to fish it til May 1 but we did get a good photo. The day was a lot of fin!

4 Hr Trip
Captain Sal was a trip. Super laid back and his main focus was catching fish. Never had to wait for a rod or a baited hook, Sal was on top of it! Oh, and we caught a lot of fish: yellow tail, grouper, Moray eel, King fish.
~ Kenneth S.
Great day fishing
Capt Sal took us to a sweet honey hole where we limited out on snapper in less that 2 hours as well as getting some Mackerel and yellow fin, great day
