Florida Keys Reel Adventures - Fishing charter in Marathon - 11833 Overseas Hwy, USA

Just finished 3 days in 3 different settings, and took my wife a couple years back, so I am a return client. Kevin was referred to me by another local guide, who I have also been fishing with. Kevin is a very knowledgeable captain who has excellent attention to detail, and a very firm understanding of multiple fisheries in the area. The boat is great, smooth, quiet, safe, and very well thought out on rigging. Captain Kevin himself is very safe, on time, reliable, hardworking and does not waste time on your trip. He’s fit, can change set ups efficiently, and really has a good system down. In response to some of the negative reviews, all I will say is that if you have any degree social IQ and awareness, and any experience managing complex processes with the general public, you will totally understand this guy! There are so many ways it can go wrong, and just let this captain coach and guide you to avoid the myriad of complications that can arise, and you will be a better sportsman from learning from him. I know I have. He was awesome with my wife, and like any good coach should, he won’t watch you continue to make mistakes and not tell you, THAT is a disservice to someone who wants to be better at whatever they are doing… If you want to catch fish safely and efficiently, I highly recommend.

I’ve been looking at these pictures over and over, enjoying the priceless memories we made and forgot to share them with you! Thank you so much Captain Kevin with Florida Keys Reel Adventures for squeezing us in on a holiday weekend for a sunset cruise with a quick dip! While being Marathon locals for 8 years, this was my/our first time to Molasses Key. From Elise and Johnny jumping in with life jackets (big milestone for them), exploring around Boot Key, the birds and wildlife sightings, and coming in under the full moonlight and planets… I can’t believe how much can be squeezed from just a couple of hours with you. It was and is so, so special for us. Thank you so much!

We had a great time, and caught some lobster! Captain Kevin had some great spots. Not everybody on our trip was experienced or physically able to catch their limit, but everybody has a great time, and we caught enough by the end of the trip for an epic family lobster feast.

Such an amazing fishing adventure with Captain Kevin! Planned a quick day trip and Kevin was so accommodating for us. Even though we were a little windy and rough, Capt Kevin found a place for us to catch our limits on yellowtail and mangrove snapper, and little snorkeling. Add a bonus 300lb bull shark for the wife to spend an hour reeling in made it a trip of a lifetime. Thanks Kevin!! We'll be seeing you again soon!!

Kevin is exactly the Captain you want for any charter. He was fantastic and has an excellent boat. It was our first time lobstering and he taught us how to do it. Great communication, knowledge, and preparation were very important for success. If you are ready for it Captain Kevin has the experience and tools to put you on them and give you the chances to bring up many LOBSTER! I'm glad I practiced based on his required expectations, researched the materials he suggested ahead of time, and learned his techniques out there--they really made a difference. Even with my experience freediving it was a bit challenging but also a lot of fun and anyone that can swim down 12ft can do it--although my average-shape 56 year-old father was winded rather quickly. Overall highly recommended! 👍👍👍This trip met all my expectations and more. It was a privilege to do that as no one else offers it at all, especially not for his prices! However for lobstering specifically I'd advise to come prepared or don't come at all. I set my expectations to have one chance and maybe catch one and we ended up catching our limit by listening and Kevin going above and beyond. Thanks and hope to see you next year!

If you came down to the Keys to catch fish, then this is the charter for you. Captain Kevin is a extremely proficient at his art, and you will go home with some of the most delicious fish you’ve ever tasted. One thing to note: listen to everything he tells you to do. There’s a strict formula you need to follow if you want to catch fish as cutting corners will just be frustrating for everyone, haha. My Dad and I did two half days and had a blast. Kevin played some great music and was very attentive every bit along the way. I can’t wait to come back next year and do it all again!

Captain Kevin took AMAZING care of us! He was so knowledgeable and I knew almost immediately we were in PHENOMENAL hands. He is exactly who you want to truly experience the Keys with! He took us on a fishing trip and snorkeling trip and we can’t wait to come back and do it again! Book with captain kevin, you will thank me!

Great Trip! Kevin is top notch. I am an avid fisherman and have some general experience; Kevin quickly gauged my abilities and crafted a challenging and rewarding trip. He put me on a lot of fish and at the end of the day left me with some great pictures and dinner for the week. His boat is super clean and the perfect rig for multiple fisherman to move about in comfort. Fully stocked cooler with refreshments and ability to catch some shade under the tower. I highly recommend booking with Kevin and I’ll be on his boat again as soon as I can!
