18 jaar ervaring met vissen in de Lower Keys en Key West. Als je vragen hebt over welke soorten je kunt vangen, aanbevelingen voor de duur van een trip voor een specifieke soort/visstijl, of gewoon in het algemeen, stuur me dan eerst een bericht. Ik kan je met plezier een geschikte trip aanbevelen die het beste bij jouw doelen past. Met 18 jaar viservaring in de Lower Keys en Key West kan ik je de juiste richting wijzen. Mijn nummer één prioriteit is een veilige en plezierige dag op het water voor jou tijdens je bezoek. Ik streef ernaar om mijn uiterste best te doen om jou die kans te bieden.

Purple Heron Charters organiseert het hele jaar door full-time vistrips vanuit Key West en laat je zien waar de lokale visserij en het ecosysteem om draait.

Kapitein John zal zijn best doen om ervoor te zorgen dat je een leuke dag vol vissen hebt. Hij is gespecialiseerd in spinvissen, vliegvissen en sight fishing. Dit alles om je aan die beet te helpen. Dit omvat trips van 4 tot 10 uur, voornamelijk vissen op Gratenvis, Seatrout, Haaien, Pompano Horsmakreel, Barracuda, Tarpon, Snapper, Permit, Horsmakreel en Itajara, afhankelijk van het seizoen en de omstandigheden van de dag.

Jouw avontuur begint aan boord van een 18ft Dolphin skiff aangedreven door een Mercury 115 Pro XS die maximaal 2 vissers kan vervoeren. De boot is uitgerust met een koelbox.

Alle hengels, molens en eindmateriaal zijn bij de prijs inbegrepen, zodat je je kunt concentreren op wat er echt toe doet: vissen. De schipper zorgt voor alle benodigde visvergunningen voor je trip. Je mag alles houden wat je vangt, zolang het legaal is om dat te doen.

De boot wordt voorzien van drinkwater in recyclebare aluminium blikjes voor jouw plezier. Laat het de schipper zeker weten als je vragen hebt of je eigen drankjes wilt meenemen.

Zin in een familietrip? Dit is een kindvriendelijk bedrijf, dus neem je geliefden mee om deze herinneringen mee te delen.

Boek nu je trip en ga het water op met Purple Heron Charters.

Shark Attack!!
Afternoon Half Day Trip op November 27, 20252 volwassenen
Our backcountry fishing trip in Key West was absolutely unforgettable. We were on the fish nonstop—catching them until our arms were genuinely tired. The highlight of the day was watching my daughter battle and land a huge blacktip shark, and the captain was incredibly patient and encouraging the whole time. On top of the great fishing, we also got an awesome history lesson about the area that made the trip even more memorable. Beautiful scenery, nonstop action, and a captain who truly knows his stuff. Highly recommend!

3/4 Day Trip op July 2, 20251 volwassene
Went out with John for a 3/4 day trip targeting Tarpon, Permit and Bonefish. Weather was beautiful but not the best conditions for sight-fighting and targeting these species. Regardless of the conditions, John was able to get me on the Tarpon and Bonefish; he has an incredible acumen for reading the tides, and finding the best areas for fishing success. In addition, John was a great instructor as well, constantly giving tips and instruction on when/where to cast to get the best chance at a strike. Even when the fishing slowed down the wildlife was filling in the blanks, saw plenty of sharks, dolphins, rays, and Tarpon spitting hooks back at me. Highly recommend John, and will seek him out again in the future for fishing in Key West again.

Full Day Marquesas Keys Trip op December 30, 20251 volwassene
Me & my buddy had a real blast getting out with Captain John for a day on the flats. He was super flexible with us, and did a great job showing us all the different types of terrain within this Fishery. We got into some nice fish, and walked away with knowledge and stories to last a lifetime. Great to find a guide who still cares about the right things.

First tarpon and bonefish!
Full Day Trip op May 18, 20251 volwassene
Had a great trip on Sunday, May 18th. My goal was to catch a tarpon and a bonefish, and thanks to John, I accomplished both. Also, I caught the tarpon on a fly! John did a great job of putting me in position for success. He is not only a wealth of flats fishing knowledge, but educated me on the incredible ecosystem of the Keys. John is also very conservation oriented, which I highly respect. I recommend John and will definitely be fishing with him on our next Key West trip!
