My kids favorite part of our vacation! This was such a great family fishing trip for us! We went with our 3 kids aged 10,8, and 5. Captain Ed and Ian did a great job teaching us how to fish. They were extremely attentive to the kids and helped them catch over 20 fish a piece! When we got back to the dock they prepped the fish for us and recommended fed a restaurant to bring it to after and we had enough fish to eat for 3 days!! We will be booking with Ed again next year! I highly recommend!!

Captain Ed and Ian were phenomenal. Ian hustled by keeping our bait on the hook and helped our kids reel the fish in. Captain Ed kept us safe as the storms approached. We caught so many interesting fish and had a delicious dinner with the snapper caught: highly recommend.

Fabulous experience! My husband, our two kids - 10+ 12, and I did a 4 hour charter with Wet Tails and it was FABULOUS! Ed and Ian were super helpful, patient with us, and made everything extraordinarily fun! We saw a bull shark - and caught plenty of fish!
Outstanding trip!

I’ve done many inshore fishing trips. This one topped them all. We caught probably 100 fish in the 6 hours. Captain Ed and first mate Ian were fantastic!
Best fishing trip in the Keys

We caught over 40 fish in less than 3 hours. We kept 15 of the biggest ones and had fish for the remainder of the week. The crew was great and took care of everything we needed. Ian works his tail off and ensures you are fishing the entire time you are on the boat. He deserves every penny you give him. My wife and I have been on other fishing charters but this one is the best! We will go out with these guys from now on.

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!
