Great time! Larry was great with the kids! They clean fish at the end. And we were able to get it cooked at a place very close. Would definitely recommend!

No bananas on board.

Noel_M, Jan 2026

Didn’t know bananas were bad luck on a boat. Probably why we didn’t catch anything all day. When others around us did. Great first mate not pushy or loud. Calm relaxed. Lovely day. Little dog added a nice homey atmosphere. Good music lots of help w rods hooks bait.

Fun time with family

Very relaxing experience and we ALL caught fish. I actually caught a huge trigger fish and at the same time my husband caught a big grouper, which everyone was pretty surprised! Bryan and Captain Rick were very helpful throughout the process. We would definitely book again and recommend!

Bill_A, Oct 2025

The boat is roomy and the staff is very kind and helpful. We moved around to a number of different places to make sure everyone was actively catching fish.

Excellent experience!! The crew was the best!! I highly recommend booking with Gulfstream Fishing!!

Amy_N, Oct 2025

Poor fishing

Robin_T, Sep 2025

Spacious boat helpful crew however they couldn't find fish for us to catch ..... would not recommend

Overall a great trip!

Michael_A, Aug 2025

We had a HOT but fun day! Bring wet wipes and plenty of fluids. We took home 8-10 fish. We had a few slow moments but the captain was great about moving us to a new spot!

Fun for All

Candra_M, Jul 2025

Had a great time bonding with my boy. We did get caught in some rain, but it came and went and the fun resumed. The crew was super friendly and made the experience enjoyable.

Enjoyed trip with clean boat and friendly knowledgeable crew! Highly recommend the 6 hour day trip! Will do again next time we are in the area.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

We’re glad you had a great time aboard! A **clean boat, friendly crew, and solid fishing**—that’s what we’re all about. The **6-hour trip** is a great way to get on the fish, and we’d love to have you back for another round next time you’re in town. Until then, tight lines and good fishing! 🎣🚤

3 years, 3 outings, 5 stars

Edward_S, Jan 2025

The crew is very helpful, doesn’t matter if you are novice or expert. Their actions make it clear that safety is a priority. We always end up with plenty of fish. This is our 3rd go with them and will definitely stick with them in the future. We will be back next year at this time, and looking forward to seeing Ethan and the other crew members.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

We truly appreciate your continued support and are glad to hear that each trip has been a great experience. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned angler, our crew is always happy to help and keep things running smoothly. Safety is always a priority, and it’s great to know that comes through. We’ll be sure to let Ethan and the crew know you’re looking forward to next year. See you then for another great day on the water.

Amazing experience.

Jeanine_H, Nov 2024

We had great family time and the captain and crew were very knowledgeable and a great help. We had our fish cleaned and we had them cooked at a local restaurant and they were delicious.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you had a great family outing and that the captain and crew made it enjoyable with their expertise. Having your catch cleaned and cooked locally is the perfect way to wrap up a fishing trip—so glad it was delicious! We hope to see you again for another memorable day on the water.

A great experience!

Mattei_B, Nov 2024

We had such a great time with Captain Joe and his first Mate Ethan. Both were so knowledgeable and helpful. We had a gorgeous day and caught lots of fish. Highly recommend if you’re ever in the Keys!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad you had an amazing day with Captain Joe and Ethan, catching plenty of fish and enjoying the beautiful weather. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again in the Keys!

Despondent

Avinash_G, Jul 2024

It was booked for Sunday 6/21 and captain doesn’t run boat on Sunday. Got there and no one is there until 9:50am. Text captiain said we don’t run on Sunday and I don’t have any reservations for that. I send him copy of my confirmation email and then he re agreement with different captain. I did went for fishing with family but we were looking for deep see fishing for 6 hour but this one was not deep see fishing and only for 5 hours. I was despondent about it and my kids too.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I apologize for any confusion regarding your booking on Sunday, 6/21. As I mentioned during our conversation, we do not operate on Sundays during our summer schedule. I appreciate your understanding at that time we spoke and your flexibility in rearranging with a different boat. (Way different tone than your review. ) Regarding the fishing experience, I want to clarify that the trip you did was indeed the exact same type of fishing we offer on our Gulfstream charters. We strive to provide memorable and enjoyable trips for all our guests, and I’m sorry to hear it did not meet your expectations for deep sea fishing. Given the nature of the trip, I believe you would have been equally disappointed if you didn't enjoy the trip we put you on. Your feedback is valuable, and we will use it to improve our communication and services. We hope to have the opportunity to make it up to you and your family in the future.

Long day, good fishing experience

Casey_K, Jul 2024

The Captain and crew are great. I recommend bringing Dramamine if you’re prone to sea or motion sickness. Also sunscreen is a must! You can purchase waters/sodas and snacks for $1 each but bringing your own bag of things isn't a bad idea. We didn’t catch too much on our trip, but the captain was very helpful and handed anything he hooked to participants to reel in. Overall quite a long excursion, we would have been happy with a couple hours shorter as people just looking for the experience but if your goal is to catch fish to take home, this is the trip for you!

Big fish pool

Cindy_B, Jun 2024

I won the fishing pool with the biggest fish caught! The captain was amazing! The crew was great! I would do it again but at night.

Great!

Denise_L, Jun 2024

A Fantastic Deep Sea Fishing Experience with Gulfstream Fishing

Arletta_C, May 2024

We went on this deep sea fishing excursion on a Tuesday in late May. Our group consisted of four individuals: one with mobility issues and two who don't speak English. Despite these challenges, the trip was fantastic for everyone. The boat accommodated about 20 people, providing plenty of room to fish comfortably. Our captain, Joe, and mate, Ethan, were outstanding. They were patient and extremely helpful with the entire group. Whenever a fishing rod got stuck or a new hook was needed, they were quick to assist. Overall, this was an excellent trip that I highly recommend! We managed to catch a few fish, which we took back to Key West and had cooked up (Grouper and Mutton Snapper). We're still talking about this unforgettable experience!

Maritza_M, Mar 2024

Me and my mom had such a great time! Caught a lot of fish. The crew was amazing and very helpful. Would book with them again.

Great trip! Awesome crew !

Alicia_P, Mar 2024

Crew were on top of everything. Made sure everyone was taking care of from bait to unhooking fish, etc. Plenty of room to fish even with a full boat. We were able to catch a variety of fish including grunts, snapper, yellow tail, porgies. Two of us even hooked up to 12 foot sharks. Overall it was a great trip and made some great memories with my son before he heads off to bootcamp!

Great day trip!

Charles_T, Feb 2024

Awesome day on the water with a great captain and crew! Very attentive. Took care of everyone! Smooth trip with plenty of sunshine and fish to catch.

First Key West fishing trip

Tony_D, Jan 2024

The weather was good and water was calm. Mate Ethan was personable and helpful along with the captain.

Fun trip!

Edward_S, Jan 2024

We caught a wide variety of fish today. I personally caught lane snapper, grey snapper, yellow tail snapper, strawberry grouper and red grouper (unfortunately not in season).. One guy caught a 28” cobia!

Great adventure!

Pam_M, Jan 2024

Catching fish, of course. My husband caught second biggest (but missed winning the pool!) OH well. Had a great time fishing with my daughter & son in law! Crew was very friendly & helpful. Would go again in a minute if I lived nearby!
