INXS Deep Sea Fishing Charters

Top knotch. Professional and attentive. We brought in more than we could have expected then they switched the rigging to catch sport fish. 10/10 would do again tomorrow if I had the time!!

Absolutely amazing! Capt Steve and Garret made my husbands bucket list trip more than memorable. They were experienced, knowledgeable and professional but felt like family. They went above and beyond and we couldnt be more pleased. Highly recommend!!!

Steve and Garrett were great and informative. Garrett was hands on, answered all my fishing questions professionally and intelligently. Steve was an A+ captain. Highly recommend. This is my 5th time deep sea fishing, they were the best team I've been with. If back in the Keys, I'll book thru them.

INXS with Captain Steven Lamp Dream Catcher Charters- INXS, Bay Boats with Captains Eric & Andrew As those who fish know, catching is never a guarantee - several things factor into the experience for us - the people, the boat, the captain, and the crew - catching fish - thats the icing on the cake. People first - Gennifer was a pleasure to work with when booking our various charters. She inquired about our partys desires and definitely matched us up with Captains and boats best suited for our party of 6 with the types of fishing our party was looking for. Deep sea fishing was on the INXS with Captain Steven Lampwho is extremely knowledgeable about fishing in general and most importantly the area. Hes been in the business for a long time and knows his stuff. We have a son who is passionate about fishing and Steven was more than willing to share information with him whether specifically about fishing techniques or the business itself. When a fish is on - hes all business - do what he says and you are highly likely to have a memorable photo op and maybe dinner, too! The first mate, Garrett, did a great job ensuring lines were in the water, reeling in the extras when we had a fish on, changing out the riggings along the way, and sharing his interesting path to become a first mate on the INXS. Second - the boat - one word - immaculate. Shes definitely well cared for and maintained. Truly a pleasure to have had the opportunity to go out on her. Third - ambiance /experience as a whole- all of the above contributes to this factor - Captain Steve tops this one off with his entertaining personality and music choices - if you are lucky, hell sing for you! Last - the icing on the cake - thanks to Captain Stevens knowledge and expertise, Garretts patience and persistence, and probably a little luck, our party of 6 came home with filets from 13 keeper Mahis! That made the day truly extraordinary! Our second day was tarpon fishing with Andrew on one the Dream Catcher Charters Yellowfin bay boats. Although it wasnt the ideal time to go fishing for tarpon, Eric was more than willing to give it his best effort. 15 minutes after putting our bait in the water.FISH ON! After a 45 minute fight, it was in!We did some barracuda fishing on the flats and hit some lady fish, too. Eric was great and we enjoyed his conversations, his experience and knowledge of the area. Our final trip was a last minute decision and based on our other experiences with Dream Catcher Charters. This time we went out with Eric for another shot at some tarpon. We got lucky and got into a school of daisy chaining tarpon. We had two tarpon on, one of which was between 175 to 200 lbs - ultimately they broke the line (we were using some lighter tackle with 30 lb fluorocarbon leaders) - still a great day and another unforgettable experience. We definitely hope to make it back sometime. We highly recommend Dream Catcher Charters!! Our one suggestion - listen to the guides/Captains. As our son is learning, techniques used in Texas may not work in Florida!
