Florida Keys Charter Fishing Testimonials
See what our customers are saying about The Main Attraction Charter Fishing Team!
My son and I had a very enjoyable day fishing with the Main Attraction crew. We targeted Mahi first and later stopped over a wreck and hooked a few permit. The crew was real personable and kept us around fish all day. We highly recommend!
Choose Main Attraction great experience with them! I’d do it again with them!
My tenth charter with the main attraction was outstanding. Capt Marty put us on mahi like never before.
If you’re thinking about booking a fishing trip and NOT going with Captain James and “Scuba” Steve, you might want to rethink your life choices. From the second we stepped on the boat, it was clear these guys weren’t just here to float around and hand out sandwiches. We caught over 20 Mahi, 2 Blackfin tuna, and even wrangled a Blue Line tilefish—which, according to Scuba Steve, is a fish so fancy it practically comes with a tuxedo. These guys didn’t just fish—they made us part of the crew. I got to help set lines and get hooks in the water faster than you can say “Fish on!” My 8-year-old son was living his best pirate life, hosing down the deck like he owned the boat and “driving” us back to port like he was auditioning for Deadliest Catch: Junior Edition. My 10-year-old daughter, who usually thinks fishing is “too slimy,” even had a blast—and she smiled the whole time (a rare sight, trust me). But here’s the kicker: we’re sitting by the pool that evening, swapping fish tales with some other folks who went out with different charters, and it was like comparing a high-speed rollercoaster to a paddle boat ride. One guy actually stopped mid-sentence and said, “Wait...you got HOW MANY fish?!” This trip was unforgettable, hilarious, and hands-down the best family fishing experience we’ve ever had. Captain James and Scuba Steve are the real deal—fun, professional, and just the right amount of salty. Book the trip. Catch the fish. Let your kid swab the deck like a pirate. Thank me later.
Amazing experience with Main Attraction!! Captain Alex, James and especially Steve were fantastic and made our 3 day trip flawless and fun! I joined with very little experience, but was couched the whole time and learned a ton. 100 percent recommend Main Attraction!!
From the start working with Katie was great. Captain Randy and Mike did a fabulous job. I'm looking forward to booking another trip hopefully in the near future.
An Unforgettable Offshore Adventure with Main Attraction For any angler looking for a top-tier fishing experience in the Florida Keys, Main Attraction with Captain Alex and Mate Steve is a charter that truly lives up to its name. I recently had the opportunity to fish with this outstanding crew, and it was nothing short of an angler’s dream. From the moment we stepped aboard, Captain Alex and Mate Steve exuded professionalism, knowledge, and a genuine passion for putting their clients on fish. Their experience was evident as they navigated us to prime fishing grounds, ensuring a productive and action-packed day on the water. The highlight of the trip? Landing a bucket list sailfish—an unforgettable moment made possible by Captain Alex’s expert boat handling and Mate Steve’s quick and precise rigging. The adrenaline rush of watching the sailfish leap across the surface was second to none, and the team’s seamless coordination ensured a successful catch and release. Beyond the sailfish, the day was filled with steady action. Large yellowtail snapper, feisty mackerel, and hard-fighting mahi kept us busy, with the crew expertly guiding us to the best spots and providing top-tier baiting and tackle advice. Their attention to detail and ability to read the water made all the difference, maximizing every opportunity to hook up on quality fish. What sets Main Attraction apart is not just their ability to put you on fish but their commitment to making the entire experience enjoyable. The boat was immaculate and well-equipped, and the crew’s enthusiasm was contagious, making for a relaxed yet thrilling atmosphere.

Whether you’re chasing a dream catch like a sailfish or filling the cooler with delicious table fish, they deliver an unforgettable day on the water. Highly recommended!
We had the greatest time on our vacation thanks to Marry and James and main attraction. Marty made sure I got a sail fish on a very slow day.
*** HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!!! *** This was… by far… the most fun… I’ve ever had!!! When I called to book, Katie was patient, professional and accommodating. I told her I needed something to end this vacation trip with a big positive. She guided me through their options and explained the process start to finish. Captain Marty, keep tension on that line, she’s a keeper. What a great experience from the start and we hadn’t even gotten to the fishing yet. We met up with our skipper and mate in the am of the trip. They had everything set and ready to leave. All we had to dow as bring our own drinks and snacks. The captain took us out to the shoreline. I got a solo mahi on the way out, 26” I think they said, not bad. After that the captain put us on two big schools of mahi. We hit a few black fins in between. The captain and mate hustled like you would not believe. These guys were busting their hump so we could have a memorable fishing trip, and by far, it was. When we got back, the first mate stood there and cleaned fish for what must have been an hour. They limit the amount of fish they’ll clean to 50 lbs but you really couldn’t imagine how much work they put in even staying under that limit. I can’t thank Katie and Captain Marty enough for refining their business into what it is. This was the best time I think I’ve ever had in my near 40 years on this planet. I would do this again and again and again. You guys have my business any time I’m in the Keys.
Went out with Captain James on the “Reel Attraction” for a 3/4 day trip. We wanted to try our luck at catching some Snapper and Grouper, which we don’t catch back home. Captain James took us out and started chumming….. within minutes, we were catching yellowtail. He decided to drop a bait deep looking for a grouper and I was surprised to see one of my bucket list fish come up. A Cobia!! Unfortunately, it was “short” so we had to release it. This was honestly my favorite charter trip to date. Top notch outfit all the way. From booking with Katie, who is very kind, courteous and responsive, to getting on the water was a great pleasure. Thank you all for helping us make some great memories
Great half day of fishing. Crew was knowledgeable, very helpful, friendly, and fun to fish with. We brought in a bunch of Yellowtail. The kids were practically pulling them out one by one. Great day.
Excellent charter service. Immaculate vessel, great communication from Katie. Capt Steve knows what he is doing. Puts you on fish and has personality.
Good experience with Captain Steve, he took us out and put us right on fish. We caught fish the whole time. We came back he filleted them up and bagged them for us. Great booking experience and fishing. Reccommend them For your family fishing trip!
Clean boat, knowledgeable crew, hooked the biggest fish I ever caught with these guys. If you’re looking for a fishing charter, go with this one!
Had an amazing time with Captain Matt and first mate Sam. We went out with 6 of us. 2 Adults and 4 kids ages (14,8,7,6). We couldn't ask for a better experience. They were amazing with the kids. They are extremely professional, friendly, and got us to the fish on time. When I am back in the Keys I would book with them. Hauled in 26 fish that day.
Our group of 6 fished 3 days with Main Attraction in mid-Oct 2023. We had high winds every day which deterred our goal of fishing for Swordfish and other in the deeper off shore waters. We made the most of what we could fish for … Snapper, Tuna and Mahi Mahi. Captain Marty and crew members James and Steve were all top notch and worked really hard for us. Very comfortable boat. Katie was awesome at all the pre-fishing details including places to eat and options to stay. We will be back to pursue the Swords!
We did a half day trip with Steve and had a great time! Caught about a dozen yellowtail snapper which we took to Brutus seafood to have vacuum sealed and shipped back home. We also hooked a cobia, a shark, and a blue parrotfish. The boats were very clean and had restrooms and ice for us to keep drinks and food. Our captain was knowledgeable and we loved chatting with him about fishing and everything else. Would definitely recommend!
We have fished on two different boats of theirs and had a great time and caught very nice fish on boat trips. We just fished off the boat "Main Attraction" and it was wheelchair friendly for my son with special needs and had a nice spot for his chair out of the sun as well, this made the trip really enjoyable for us. We had a great experience on both occasions.
Cannot say enough good things about Main Attraction or our Captain Steve! The boat, the trip, the fishing, and the guidance were all excellent! We did a half day reef trip, caught a ton of different fish, and brought home a lot of yellowtail snapper! We have a 7 and almost 5 year old. Steve was amazing with them! Patient, helpful, and terrific at explaining everything. Absolutely recommend and can't wait to do it again!
