If you’re looking for the ultimate offshore fishing experience in the Fl Keys, a trip with Captain BJ Meyer is the way to go. From the moment we stepped aboard, everything was perfect. The boat was great, and equipped with top-of-the-line gear.. The crew was outstanding—professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Captain BJ knew exactly where to take us, and it paid off big time. We caught a ton of massive fish and were reeling them in all day long! The action never stopped, and the energy on board was contagious. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just getting started, this is the kind of fishing trip you dream about. Highly recommend Captain BJ Meyer, can’t wait to book again!
