We had so much fun! Ken and Ian were very kind, super helpful, and fun to spend the day with. There were six of us on the trip, none of us knew how to fish, and we caught SO MANY FISH! They knew exactly where to go. We even saw bull sharks trying. To feast on our catch! Ken then recommended a restaurant to take the fish so we could enjoy an amazing meal. It was a wonderful experience! Bring a good tip for Ian - he works hard to make sure everyone is taken care of. They’re a great duo.
Wet Tails Charter for the win. Yellow Jack Attack caught 52! Crew couldn’t have been kinder or more professional 5 stars

We had a wonderful afternoon on board the ship with Ed and Michael! They were very helpful and kind. They provided all the gear and bait as well as helpful tips. We fished in two different locations and along the way we saw dolphins, two sea turtles and a manatee! Our fished were cleaned for us and Ed recommended a place to eat that would cook what we caught.a It was great and we would totally do it again in a heartbeat!

It was a great overall trip. Captain Ed and his son Mike did a great job with us. It was windy so we could not go to the Atlantic side to the reef, but Captain Ed took us to the Gulf side and did everything he could to put us on the fish. Me and all the kids landed fish and had a great time. We plan to come back to do a an offshore trip with them.
Great day fishing!

5 out of 5!!! What a great day fishing! Captain Ed and first mate Ian were the best. We had three super rookie fisherman and one more experienced fisherman in the trip and they were great with all of us! Both Capt. and Ian were helpful, attentive and entertaining. We can’t wait to take another trip with them.

If you're looking for the best private fishing charter experience, look no further than Captain Ed! From start to finish, he made our trip absolutely unforgettable. His knowledge of the best fishing spots, patience with beginners, and passion for the sport made the whole experience fun and successful. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and Ed went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. We caught plenty of fish, enjoyed beautiful views, and even learned some pro tips along the way. Whether you're an experienced angler or a first-timer, Captain Ed makes sure everyone has a fantastic time. I highly recommend booking with Ed—he’s the real deal! Can’t wait to go again!
Great fishing charter for all levels! We'll be back!

I booked a 4 hour charter with Capt. Ed for 5 Adults (one Dad and four college guys). Our experience level was from zero to average. There was more than enough space, gear and supplies. Capt Ed and his son Michael helped keep everything moving and gave everyone tips and directions on how to land fish. We had a great time and would do it again anytime. Easy access to the docks and a great location on Marathon Key.
