Jimenez Key West Fishing Charters Customer Reviews

I was really worried our trip would get canceled because of the approaching hurricane, but I got a call this morning saying the weather was still clear enough to head out. Without hesitation, we gathered the crew and set off, and it turned out to be an absolutely beautiful day. We left right on time after a quick briefing, and as soon as we passed the reef, we had lines in the water and hooked a Mahi Mahi right away. I was lucky enough to reel it in—it ended up being my only catch since I got seasick after that. I’ve been on all kinds of boats my whole life and never got seasick before, so I guess there’s a first for everything! Despite that, the boat was fantastic, and everyone else caught several fish. I’d definitely book with them again!

The captain and first mate were experts at knowing the best spots and techniques to use. We successfully caught yellowtail snapper, which was one of the species we aimed for. They were both very knowledgeable and friendly, and we highly recommend them!

We booked a full-day trip this September and had an incredible time! Captain Russ and mate Christian were fantastic—super knowledgeable, friendly, and really fun to fish with. They got us on the fish right away and even gave us some great local food recommendations for after the trip. We caught several species, including barracuda, a blackfin tuna, a wahoo (which is definitely going on the wall), and even a shark! It was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend them if you're planning to fish in Key West.

I highly recommend the Corsair 2. We picked this boat for its air-conditioned cabin, fighting chair, and onboard bathroom—definitely a plus! The crew was both knowledgeable and friendly, and even though it was a slower season, they still got us on some great fish, including a big King Mackerel. This trip is perfect for anyone, especially families or those who prefer more comfort and amenities than the typical fishing charter offers. Book it—you’re sure to have an amazing time!

I’ve fished in Hawaii and other spots in Florida, but today was by far the best experience I’ve ever had. Captain Jeff and Christian put us right on the fish—we landed five mahi and a massive barracuda! I almost don’t want to recommend them too highly, so I can book them again next time, but honestly, I’d fish with these guys any day! This was a five-star trip from start to finish, and I can’t recommend Captain Jeff and Christian enough!

We had a diverse group with varying levels of fishing experience, and Captain Russ and Barracuda Jeff were outstanding. Their knowledge and humor made the trip even better. We caught a wide range of fish and had an absolute blast. The half-day trip went by in a flash, and we barely noticed the rough seas. We will definitely return to fish with Captain Russ and BJ again!

We enjoyed a 6-hour 3/4 day charter and were on the lookout for Mahi Mahi, and Captain Russ took us straight to the action! Christian worked hard to ensure everyone was reeling in Mahi, along with a couple of Barracuda. We had an incredible time, and as a bonus, we got to hand-feed some nurse sharks and tarpon while Captain Russ cleaned our catch. We definitely feasted well that evening! Thank you, Captain Russ and Christian!

We had the unique experience of two captains, likely because it was Easter Sunday. The boat was super comfortable—just ask my wife, who spent the day napping in the air-conditioned cabin (she didn’t even want to come!). Meanwhile, my 13 and 15-year-old sons caught so many fish, they wore themselves out, leaving me to tackle the afternoon barracuda in the fighting chair. Those fish put up a great fight and looked awesome! We caught a nice variety, including a bull snapper, blackfin tuna, plenty of barracuda, mackerel, and a few species I couldn’t name. Both captains were knowledgeable, skilled, and made the day a blast. I highly recommend them for an unforgettable day of fishing!

Captain Jeff kept a keen eye out for the best fishing spots while Christian made sure we were always informed and prepared. Fishing can be unpredictable, and the morning started off slow (though we caught our first fish right after the first rod was in!). However, about an hour in, the action picked up, and everyone had an amazing time! We had anglers of all experience levels, and Christian was there to assist us all. As a guy in his early 20s, he got along really well with my 17-year-old sons and 24-year-old daughter. Between catches, there were plenty of great conversations. Everyone landed multiple fish, and we all left a little sunburned but happy, with plenty of fish to take home! I highly recommend this experience!

I took my two kids, ages 11 and 13, and my wife on a four-hour morning fishing trip. Captain Jeff and Christian were not only fun and fantastic hosts, but they were also pros at locating and hooking fish. We all caught multiple fish and had an amazing time. It was the kids’ first experience with saltwater fishing, and they absolutely loved it. These guys are the best! It was also great to have access to a cabin where we could escape the sun and cool off in the AC. I highly recommend them—you’ll have a great time!
