I’d like to thank our captain, Ryan. He took us out and put us right on the mahi. I can’t say enough good things about Ryan. Me and the wife decided to drink late the night before so we suffered a little. Lol, but we survived. Now for the big ass fish story. Ryan put us on the weed line and this majestic animal decided to bite. What a fight it gave me. It took me two hours to get this monster up to the boat. After two hours I had to tap captain Ryan in because my arms were jelly after that fight. His fresh arms were what was needed to bring it up. We will definitely be coming back with these guys. We highly recommend if you’re looking for your own fish story.

My wife, another couple and I spent the morning fishing with Captain Joey on the Coolwater 2. Joey put us right on some fish on our first stop. We caught, Yellowfin Snapper, Porkies, Yellow Jack, Yellowfin Tuna and some different types Grouper which were out of season. We brought back 15 to 20 fish and caught many more. Captain Joey was attentive to everyone aboard the boat. With the fishing died down he was quick to move the boat to put us on the more fish. He was great with my wife and the other women who both, had no prior ocean fishing experience. I would highly recommend fishing with Captain Joey aboard the Coolwater 2. We had a great time!

Damon really takes pride to make sure his charter guests have a great experience; understanding they are booking the charters to have fun and catch the amazing fish the Key West area has to offer.
My wife and I booked a 6 hour charter w/ Captain Damon based on the excellent reviews and his suggestion from his featured fishingbooker profile video.  Top notch experience!!  He did not disappoint.  The day he had planned out after talking with him the day before our trip had to change due to high winds the day of.  Because of his knowledge of fishing the Key West area, he knew where to go.  Since we had 6 hours to work with we went the multiple locations and he put us on good fishing each time.  When he asked if we wanted to catch some big game, possibly some shark, there was no way we were going to say no to that option.  We ended up hooking multiple types of fish, a huge Cobia and a huge Bull Shark (talking as least 300 lbs)!  It was a catch of a lifetime for me.
He was so pumped for me when I got on a nice Cobia and brought that in and then it seemed like he made it his personal mission for me to be able to reel in a shark.  After hooking a couple of fails in the line, he changed out to a different line and I was ultimately able to bring a Bull Shark.  He definitely went the extra mile for us and will for you too.  Thanks Captain Damon.

We had the most incredible experience.
John asked what types of fish my two older boys wanted to dish for before we started and boy did he deliver.
They caught at least 12 Mahi Mahi so many we only kept four larger fish.
Captain John was hands down the most knowledgeable, professional and fun captain we have ever had and we have had many fishing charters!!
I highly recommend Captain John!

Went on a four hour trip on a very windy day. Due to the wind we stayed in shore. We quickly ended in an area populated by Yellow Jacks. Between the four of us we caught about 25-30 of them keeping 3 or 4. We also kept a few mutton and mangrove snappers. After the bite slowed down we caught and released 3 sharks.
It was a very enjoyable day when not many boats ventured out. The Captain was efficient and friendly. I highly recommend Coolwater II.
