This was my first charter with Captain Dave. Unreal experience. My wife and I were lucky to have calm waters in early November. Less than 90 minutes into the trip Captain Dave helped us catch our first Permit. He shared his knowledge of sight fishing, and made the trip a unique experience we will never forget.. What a beautiful fish! Clearly, he had a great understanding of the local area and where to get fish. In the latter part of the trip we caught redfish, snapper, jacks, and snook. He is easy-going, and made the experience extremely memorable, and tailored it to the conditions and our capabilities. We are novices, and we feel like we hit a hole in one.

Captain Dave is everything you could want in a fishing guide. He works hard. He's knowledgeable. He loves what he does. I had an all-day back country trip with Dave April 2. Minutes from the dock, he had us on fish, and he kept us on fish for the next eight hours. He knew the exact spot to target specific species, and if one spot wasn't producing, we moved on to the next one. Jacks, trout, snook, redfish, even a couple of unexpected monster sharks. He respected the fish and released them as quickly and humanely as possible. Just as important, he's a cool guy to be around. People sometimes forget that when you book a guide, you're going to spend the whole day in a boat with that person, so it's important that he or she is fun to be with. Dave is laid back, funny, interesting, and a good listener who seems genuinely interested in getting to know his clients a little bit during the day. He offered tips and advice on fishing techniques, but never made me feel like I was a complete novice, even though I was. All in all, just a great day with a fun, friendly guy who really knows his stuff. I recommend him very highly.

Best fishing charter in all of Florida and I have been on 100s all over the state. All of the reviews I have read about this captain are true. One of the most enjoyable fishing trips I have been on. The Captain is the funniest and most knowledgable guides I have met.

Great day on the water with a great captain! Captain Dave Perkins and his first mate ( his cute little dog) we're ready and waiting for our arrival just after 7:30 AM. He was patient with our kids...and us while trying to help us earn a memorable Keys experience. He succeeded and then some. Within a few short hours we landed 4 sharks and got our fill of sea trout and lady fish. He even gave a tour of some of the most beautiful scenery to boot. Top off your Keys experience with Captain Dave. You won't regret it.

I had an awesome time with Captain Dave. We caught trout, redfish, sharks, barracuda, snapper, and ladyfish. Lost count of all the fish we caught. Great experience and can't wait to get back
