Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain George and his team at Kekoa Charters consistently deliver exceptional fishing results throughout the Florida Keys waters. Customers regularly report impressive catches including mangrove snapper, mutton snapper, grouper, mahi mahi, bonito, and even sharks. George's local knowledge shines as he knows exactly where to find fish while other boats struggle, with one group catching 26 snappers in just two hours and nearly reaching their limit. His expertise extends from reef fishing to wreck fishing, adapting techniques to maximize success for every trip. George brings infectious enthusiasm to every charter, often getting more excited about catches than his guests. Families particularly appreciate his patience with children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers, making fishing accessible and fun for everyone.

They know where the fish are and how to hook em! I've never seen a captain or a mate work so hard to ensure that we got fish! You can tell these guys are locals as they know exactly where to go and what's needed to get fish in the box, I'd absolutely recommend these guys if you want results!

Went out with Doc and his first mate George last week. What a trip! These 2 are the real deal. I have been on alot of charters through out the keys and have never done as well as this day. George was a maniac in the back of the boat. He was more excited to catch fish than we were. That is exactly what you want in a first mate. They had us worn out by noon! Great day. Great people.

We had a last minute fishing trip a few days ago and Captain George and his son was able to accomodate us! Our family of 4 had a blast! My husband caught a Grouper and the Captain cleaned it and let us store it on his boat for the day until we were ready to have it cooked for us at a local resturant. We had a great time, they were very knowledgable and fun. I highly, highly recommend them!!

Doc and his mate were the most entertaining crew ever! Their combination of knowledge and experience put us on the meat with a near limit of mangrove and mutton snapper (along with a tuna) between 5 guys! I can't say more about their skill, integrity, and ability to run an effective fishing charter.

Absolutely awesome time reef fishing with Doc & Georgie. These guys really know how to catch fish. The whole time we’re reeling them in, the boat radio was buzzing with other boats asking each other “where are the fish?” This was the best graduation present for my son that he will never forget. Recommend these guys a million times over. Can’t wait to go back!

Doc and George were exceptionally caring, welcoming, and knowledgeable throughout our trip. Our group included two young kids and two seniors, and they went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. They shared fascinating insights about the different fish we encountered, explaining which ones we could keep and which needed to be released. My son loved the experience so much that we asked to extend the trip, and Doc and George graciously accommodated us. The kids are already eager to return, and we absolutely will. A heartfelt thank you to Doc and George for an unforgettable adventure!
