Absolutely Incredible Experience — Book This Trip!
I can’t say enough great things about Jersey Key Charters. From the moment we stepped on board, everything was top-notch. The captain was incredibly knowledgeable — clearly knows these waters inside and out — and made me and my son feel welcome.
The boat was clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a full day on the water. And the scenery? Stunning. The Florida Keys never disappoint, and seeing them from the water is something else entirely.
But the real highlight? We absolutely hammered the fish. Came home with a fantastic catch and memories that’ll last a long time. The captain put us right on the fish and kept us productive all day long.
Highly, highly recommend. Will be back!

Mike put us on GIANT snapper, and we had action all day.  Both he and the first mate were extremely patient with me while I proceeded to snap off at least a dozen fish that were in addition to the ones we caught.  This was our second time with Jersey Key, and we are already looking forward to next time.  If he is available,  I wouldn’t consider anyone else.

Capt. Quinn was a very honest and hard working captain. He told me on the way out that the bite was slow because of the water movement and the moon phase. He was right, the bite was slow but he worked his tail off keeping the 4 of us baited up, chumming and relocating to several wrecks and reefs. He got us set up on a couple AJ’s but we lost those battles. He took us to another reef and we caught 15 Yellow-tail Snappers. We could have caught our limit of 40 but he recommended only 15 for conservation reasons, which I totally agreed with. After that we went to another wreck and my son and I each caught a nice AJ. So 15 YTS and 2 AJ’s, and calm seas equaled a great day in my book. I look forward to another trip with him one day.

Hats off to Captain Quinn on the 26ft Jersey Key in Key Marathon Florida. I caught my first Tarpon (on my bucket list) within 5 minutes of anchoring, and the action never stopped. My wife, I believe, caught the biggest Tarpon (hated to admit that), but the captain kept us both engaged at all times. We landed four Tarpon, I think ten got off…that’s fishing. Also caught four lemon sharks. We had to drop anchor to chase down a monster shark for at least a mile and a half, either a bull or large lemon shark, but broke off after nearly 40 minutes of fighting. I thought it was awesome for him to film my fights when I handed him my ‘Go Pro’, now I have proof of my catches and no exaggerated fish tales. A trip I’ll always brag about and highly recommend.

My wife and I did a half day afternoon with Captain Mike! Best fishing guided I’ve ever fished with. Mike foundctge fish all day and helped us set up and fish for multiple species!  We landed Lemon Shark, and then Snapper and Grouper pretty much all day!  He constantly adjusted our position and/or bait set up to get the fish on tge line!! 
Did a great job cleaning our catch. I highly recommend Mike as a guide!
