I went offshore with my daughter and son for my 66th birthday, with Capt. Mike and Dillon. We had an awesome experience catching yellowtail snapper and quite a few Mahi Mahi. Unfortunately we lost 2 tuna to a couple of sharks, that would have been icing on the cake. Capt. Mike and Dillon were an absolute blast to spend the day with, and they worked very hard to make sure we enjoyed our day on the water. They took the time to explain the local fisheries. I would definitely recommend Jersey Key charters to everyone, if I get back to Marathon again I will book with them again. Safe travels and good luck too you Capt. Mike.

By far the most fun out our groups 3 fishing charters. We started off the day targeting wrecks for deep live bait fishing. Unable to hookup any of the large fish we continued to head off shore stopping at weed lines and birds diving on bait, the mahi were not biting so we headed to Marathon hump, 30 miles out. We caught 2 skip jacks that were fun to reel in as they put up a fight. We headed back inland hitting up more mahi spot indicators but unable to catch any. The largest fish I have ever caught happened in 200 ft water targeting amberjack, and snapper. It took me 15 minutes to get the fish in the boat. We caught another jack and an additional amber jack. The captain and first mate were supportive and understanding of the bad luck on mahi and tuna.

My son and I went offshore and reef/wreck fishing in September. We were the only or one of the few boats that caught mahi due to the water temp and time of the year. Captain Mike was honest and we had to reschedule due to weather twice. I’m thankful Cpt Mike was honest as well as his willingness to look further out than others, which is why we caught fish. I highly recommend Jersey Charters because of honesty and the fact that he wanted our charter to be successful and enjoyable. Thanks Mike. Best of luck.

I would wholeheartedly recommend a private charter with Mike. Honestly it was a tough winter day in the keys yet we went out anyway. He did everything right. His awesome boat is as fast and hard working as he is. Chasing frigate birds and flying fish or “flyers” was a new and welcomed experience for me.
We started our trip in weather that was no ideal, and water temps below normal. It did not matter though, our captain was able to find us plenty of fish to catch and taught us a lot of new things about fishing the Keys. Great trip, will be booking again next vacation down to the Keys.
