This was our first charter. We are so glad that we did it. Doc told us we were lucky Red Grouper season had just open. We took a short ride to a spot that was about twenty feet deep you could see the bottom. It was beautiful. Even though Doc had been with people for two prior trips so over ten hours. He still was very patient with us. He was kind, polite and funny. We had a great time catching Grouper. I would highly recommend going on a charter with him. Thanks again Captain Doc for the fun and memories. We see you again!

What a great experience!!! My kids are 2,5, and 7 and my older kids had been asking to go fishing on a boat and to catch something we could eat. I was excited to find a 2 hour option, as I didn’t think our young kids would stay interested for much longer than that, but still was a little nervous about how this would go down - haha.
Doc and George were AMAZING! They were beyond patient with my kids, taught the older boys the proper way to fish, and let my 2 year old reel in fish that they hooked! My husband and I even got to find a little bit because the kids were so engaged! Afterwards, Doc cleaned the fish and butchered the fish we caught and let my kids feed the tarpon by the dock with the remains.
It was such a fun trip for all. My 2 year old keeps asking for “more fish,” and the older two asked if we can go back tomorrow! They can be a tough crowd but it was a blast!

Kekoa Charters and Captain George Proenza aka Doc got us into fish and fishing big time.  My family of 4 were well taken care of and we booked a half day which was the perfect amount of time.  We chose to do some reef fishing so we were quick to get out to the area.  He had his gear already dialed in and we were off fishing like crazy from the second our anchor was dropped.  Super cool dude with a ton of knowledge.  He could even handle my 8 year old alpha kid / daughter no problem.  All in all a great experience where we all look forward to coming down and looking Doc up on our next Keys trip! The photo included in the review is half our catch.  Took it to Lazy Days for their platter “bring it they cook it” special, based on Doc’s recommendation.  Also a very good experience.  Cheers Doc…see you soon!

We had a great day today, when we were on our way to the keys the captain was in touch with us, we left docks in time, started off getting some live bait and then off to catching some king mackerel, the weather was great and the captain and his helper did awesome, they knew the right spots where the fish were, they knew how to handle the fish when it went under the boat so that they would not break the line, and they made sure we got back home with some nice fresh catch, the boat is big and has space for a big party(we were six plus the captain and his aid),I really recommend it and we are already planning our next trip with them. 😀

I highly recommend fishing with this charter boat captain. He is very knowledgeable about fishing in general. We booked a charter for reek and wreck but the winds and weather were not favorable, so we went out to the back country and we all had a blast. Mackerel, snappers, yellowtail etc. were the catches of the day!  Great Charter! My grand kids really loved it! We all did! Great job Captain George and crew!
