The Captain took care of our group from the start. As we trolled on the way out to some bottom fishing. That’s when Billy (crew) jump into the seen. He quickly set up and baited all our fishing poles. Once we started fishing, we started catching non-stop. This put more pressure on Billy but, he was a great professional and dealt with any and all problems each time they occurred…especially when we had a Amberjack try to twist up all our lines. Regardless of the problem or challenge, the Captain and Billy went above and beyond to ensure the entire group had a great time! Highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Kelley for your next fishing trip!!! ✌️

If this could be more than 5 stars it would! If you’re looking for a great experience, I highly recommend you book with Mark Kelly & Lady Kelly.

The captain Mark Kelly and deckhand Garrison will do everything you can want for to ensure you catch as many fish as possible. Great equipment, great instruction from deckhand Garrison, and great effort from them. Mark Kelly moved the boat to several locations to provide a variety and of experiences. My Party was full of 1st timers for this type of excursion, once we began catching fish it was pretty much non stop action. Tho many were throw backs with due to species or season it was great fishing / catching all the same. we were able to bring a variety of species aboard; Amberjack, Vermillion Snapper, White Snapper, Trigger Fish, Suckerfish, Red Snapper and a variety of others. At times you would catch 2 on one cast. This was a trouble free and enjoyable fishing experience. And this on a Sunday, after a tropical storm moved through the area on Friday and Saturday.. I can only imagine what it would be like with out that..

Having kept about 90 fish out of the nearly 150-185 that we actually caught; left us needing to have them cleaned.. Mark was able to give great direction on what to have done at local fish market. (about $36 to have it cleaned) whicht o thought was dirt cheap!

Mark also gave incredible advice on where to enjoy the spoils of our event.. The local “J Michael’s Restaurant” offers a “Hook & Cook” special.. yep, you got that right, you bring in YOUR fish and they prepare it for you.. they cook it 3 ways.. (Grilled-Blackened-Fried) with appetizers and family style sides to feed my horde of 8 people plus drinks for the hungry crew.. One of the best fish dinners i have ever had.. and it only cost us about $200.. Make sure you tip your waitress well, because she works her tail of to serve you and live into Captain Mark Kelly’s recommendations. This Fishing excursion was amazing from start to finish.. great experience after great experience.

Captain Mark Kelly was prompt and clear with his communication, prior to the trip.

Equipment was fantastic; air-conditioned cabin.. everything worked as it should and was tidy and very clean.. keep in mind you are on a fishing boat not a YACHT. The Lady Kelly offers ample room to fish and relax.

Deckhand; Garrison kept straight to work and new precisely what to do and attended to the group with all of our needs!

Again; Thank you Mark and Garrison for a great trip!  We WILL be back!

They certainly put us on the fish. However we came at the very end of season and all the amberjack were just a little bit too small. This is a a yearly vacation for our family and we always use the same boat and captain. They do an amazing job. They had everything ready when we got there.

We had 4 girls and 4 boys so needed a day that would make all of them happy.  4 hours was perfect.  We had lots of action and caught lots of Mackerel (too much!)  Crew was so nice and helpful! A great afternoon on the ocean!
