About Your Trip

Come experience the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas National Park on this incredible adventure with Captain Justin! The Keys are a world-renowned fishing destination, and there's no better way to enjoy all that they have to offer than a trip aboard his 35' Carolina Classic. There options are endless, whether you want to enjoy a full day, an over night, or even a two-day trip!

Captain Justin specializes in calm water, light tackle “good times” fishing. This is ideal for beginner to intermediate anglers who are looking to bend some rods and hear the drag scream. Target species include Maho, Snapper, Grouper, Tarpon, Barracuda, and Shark. These will vary by season and weather, but rest assured—Captain Justin will put you on some awesome fish!

You'll be fishing aboard his 35' Carolina Classic sportfisher, which was tested in the rough waters off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina and is built for speed and comfort. She features room for up to six, an air-conditioned cabin, and a nice bathroom. Beyond the comforts are the electronics. She is outfitted with top of the line RayMarine chart plotter, thru-hull sonar, and HD color radar. This modern-day electronic set-up is the ultimate “fish finder”. Finally, the JL audio-stereo with subwoofers brings your music to another level.
Once the fish are found, our tackle is nothing short of top tier. For light tackle such as snapper, and pitch baits; we use all Esky custom rods. Once you use an Esky, all other rods seems sub-par. For the heavyweights out there we supply a variety of combinations from TLD 20w to 80w Tiagras, Deep Drop reels include 2-speeds, and 12-volt electric reels.

Captain Justin will provide everything you need for a successful day out on the water, from rods, reels, and tackle, to ice, water, and fishing licenses. All he recommends you bring are any snacks and drinks and he'll take care of the rest! Dont miss this amazing fishing experience.

Great fishing trip! Captain Mike and first mate Woody did a solid job of getting us into tuna, mahi, and our day was capped off when my son brought in a large sailfish. Lots of fun and recommend them for an awesome day on the water

Our charter with Captain Justin was so much fun! Despite the windy conditions, he managed to get us on fish in many different spots. Justin is a very knowledgeable captain and is a super fun guy! Definitely will be booking with Captain Justin again!

The experience was great especially for our two grandsons. We did not have the captain that we expected. Nevertheless, our captain and first mate were very knowledgeable.
