Caught some fish

Kim_L, Jul 2026
Water was rough, the fishermen can’t control the weather. That being said, one person in our party got seasick despite using prescription patches.

Best deep sea fishing yet!

Best deep sea fishing! So many fish! And in the end the kids got to feed the tarpon and and manatee! Captain Nels and Mate Daniel were amazing!!! Definitely recommend - they even told us where to go get our fish cooked for dinner - which was also amazing!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that your family had such a successful day aboard our 6-Hour Shared Deep Sea Fishing Charter in Key West. It sounds like Captain Nels and Mate Daniel put you right on the fish, and we’re glad the kids enjoyed not only catching fish but also feeding the tarpon and spotting a manatee afterward. Those extra moments often become some of the best memories of a Key West fishing trip. We’re also happy the crew could point you toward one of our local restaurants to have your fresh catch prepared for dinner. There’s nothing quite like enjoying fish you caught yourself after a great day on the water. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to see your family back again soon for another shared fishing charter, a private offshore fishing trip, or even one of our exciting shark fishing adventures. And don’t forget—go to BiteBackBrand and under Local Legends, go to Cowboy to get your t-shirts and other gear. Thanks again for choosing Cowboy Cowgirl Sportfishing Charters! We look forward to fishing with you again on your next Key West vacation

Zero catch

All trolling You basically wait till they catch a fish for you and hand the rod to you!! In our case we caught nothing

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry your trip did not produce the results you were hoping for. Fishing conditions can vary from day to day, and while our crew works hard to put guests on fish, no charter can guarantee a catch. During the time of your trip, fishing was challenging throughout the area, and many boats were experiencing similar conditions. Trolling is a common and effective offshore fishing technique used to target species such as mahi, tuna, wahoo, sailfish, and marlin. When a fish is hooked, it is standard practice on many shared charters to rotate opportunities among guests so everyone has a chance to participate. While we're disappointed we weren't able to put fish in the boat that day, we appreciate you joining us and wish you better luck on your future fishing adventures.

A postive experience fishing. Recommended.

This is one of the more budget friendly fishing tours in Key West. Nevertheless, there is no lack of professionalism in this business. They really care that you catch a fish and will do anything they reasonably can to further that end. We all caught various kinds of tunas. I just saw one of the hardest working deck-hands, maybe the hardest working person I've ever seen in my life, running around vigilantly keeping our lines up and baited for several hours nonstop. All the while he maintained the best attitude and was uncommonly polite. This is stuff you don’t seem to see any more.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for the detailed review—we really appreciate it. We take a lot of pride in offering affordable, budget-friendly fishing tours in Key West without cutting corners on effort or professionalism, so it means a lot that you noticed. Our shared fishing charters are built around exactly what you described—working hard, staying attentive, and doing everything possible to keep lines in the water and fish coming over the rail. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to the crew, especially the mate—that kind of recognition goes a long way. We’re glad you had a positive experience and appreciate the recommendation!
