We recently took our very first fishing charter with Captain Art and First Mate Jerry, and it was an absolutely stellar experience from start to finish!
Though the ‘trophy fish’ weren’t biting out in the open ocean that day, we still had an incredible time landing some awesome catches, including barracuda, white tails, and a snapper.
What truly made this charter stand out was the crew. Captain Art skillfully navigated us to the best spots, and First Mate Jerry was phenomenal. As it was my son’s and my first time saltwater fishing, Jerry took the time to patiently explain all the necessary techniques and tips. His expertise and enthusiasm made the entire process fun and educational.
They made our inaugural charter the best possible experience. The equipment was great, the boat was comfortable, and the service was top-notch.
We will definitely be booking with Captain Art and First Mate Jerry again! Highly recommend them for anyone, especially first-timers!

We had such a wonderful time on the boat. We had myself, my husband, father and our 13-year-old son. We chose reef fishing (over trophy sail fishing) so we could all enjoy the fun.  Captain Art took us out and trolled the reef.  First mate Jerry was so lovely to be with and worked hard our entire 4-hour trip.  He was always checking and adjusting every line and getting us ready once we had a hit.  We ended up with two huge groupers and lots of mutton Snappers, yellowtail, mackrel and a few feisty barracudas!  Jerry cleaned all the fish and we had fun feeding the tarpon at the dock.  Overall a fantastic trip, would highly recommend them!

We took my 17 year old nephew fishing for his high school graduation. Our group was me 55 my wife a few years younger, our 7 year old son and our 17 year old nephew. We came to Key West specifically to go fishing.

The water was extremely calm and we trolled for about an hour but nothing was biting. First mate Jerry worked hard changing baits and depths etc. Captain Art knew that it probably was not going to improve significantly so he transitioned to reef fishing. We caught 7 or 8 barracudas, some mackerels and one yellow snappper. 

My nephew was supper happy with the catch and my son had a great time. Jerry was really great at explaining things and helping my son while allowing him to do as much as possible himself.

I would highly recommend Wild Bill Sport Fishing for families.

Celebrating a birthday and this was the gift that goes down in history as “the best.”  Enjoyed the fishing but the company of Captain Art and Jerry was simply the best….it is truly a small world and we feel we have gained a couple of new friends and can’t wait to go out again and again and again….this time the goal is to “catch the big one!”  Highly recommend these two, great conversation and never a dull moment.
