Best Guide Service in the area! Put our group right on the fish, the Guide Tom was absolutely Right about the Conditions and Techniques to use to guarantee our catch. Joe and Tom worked together like a "well oiled machine" to ensure our group of 6 had the best day fishing, most productive and the most FUN day out of an entire week fishing in the Keys! Definitely will Book with them again!

I recently went out “fishing”with Jason aka Best Bet Sportfishing and had an amazing time. This was my first time doing a charter fishing experience and it was almost as good as….Anyways, Jason and his staff are the real deal and he has a great demeanor to enjoy 8 hours on the water with. I highly recommend booking “Stroker” for an Elite fishing experience! It was Almost Heaven!

This is our second vacation trip with Best Bet Charters. Jason and his crew are amazing fishermen and know how to create a memorable experience. Today we caught 16 Mahi and 9 Tuna. What a day. Our crew Thomas and Joe took great care of us and it couldn’t have been a better trip. Don’t hesitate to charter fish with Best Bet!

The Best Bet fishing crew is AWESOME! We have fished with this crew for over 15 years and their positivity, HUMOR, attention to detail and hard work is paramount. They go out of their way to put us on fish while making the adjustments necessary to get them into the boat. They also make the fishing process a learning process by teaching you techniques on how to catch fish. It is a pleasure to fish with a crew that is fun to be with. Throughout the years we have caught Dolphin, Snappers, Cobia, Wahoo, Groupers, Sailfish and Mackerel. If you are interested in finding a consistently reliable, HONEST, hardworking fishing crew the Best Bet fishing crew is your BEST BET.

Literally the best day we've ever had on the water! As Florida natives we know our way around but Daniel (aka Cuz) and Miles (aka Max) took us to a prime spot where we caught huge Mutton Snapper! Even if we hadn’t caught fish it still would’ve been an awesome day! I recommend Best Bet fishing to anyone, whether experienced or not, it’s totally worth it! Definitely the charter of a lifetime!

Booked a 1/2 day reef fishing trip. My wife had never been fishing on the ocean, and was very nervous. As soon as we arrived, Thomas was great. He told us it was a little rough, but if we got sick and wanted to come in early, no problem. It was about half hour ride out on

The owner Jason is game on! Capt. Daniel was very knowledgeable and put us on one Mangrove Snapper after another including many other interesting species. Be sure to take your catch to "Fish Tails" restaurant where they will cook your fish any way you like. Also go to "Burdines"

Great experience overall, we fished 4+ days with them spread over a week and even though the weather was less than ideal Cuz and Miles put us on the fish. Jason was very good about working out schedules to miss the worst of the weather and still give us a chance to get on the water. Caught some of everything. Biggest yellowtail I've ever seen, great Muttons, Cobia, Mack's, Sailfish etc. Would definitely recommend Jason and the boys if you want someone to put you on the fish.

It was a some what windy day and being our 1st time in the keys we were not sure about gong out fishing, but our Captain Daniel and 1st mate Tommy assured us it would be a good trip. they took us out to the reef, and even though it was a little rough it tuned out great, we caught a bunch of yellow tail snapper. We caught a few other types of fish as well, and even had a sail fish on the line for a little while. Over all a great experience and then they recommended where to take out catch to have it prepared and that was a great experience as well. Thank you Daniel and Tommy for a great morning of fishing.

My family and I went out yesterday morning with Brian and Miles for a half day reef/reck. These guys were exactly what I was hoping for, professional and chill at the same time. First stop was full of yellowtail, caught a few dozen and a couple mackerel. After the yellowtail moved on we jetted our to a reck where we snagged some really good size mutton, averaged 15lbs. I’d definitely recommend these guys.

Four of us went on the four hour reef fishing trip, departing out of Key Colony Beach. My son and his wife each caught sharks. Each of the sharks were estimated to be around 300 pounds. I caught a barracuda that was over 40 inches long. We also caught a number of snapper fish.

They knew where to go, how to put us on the fish and made it a trip of a lifetime. I have never imagined catching so many fish. It was awesome. If your looking for that kind of experience I would call them, they don’t miss.

I highly recommend these guys for a great family adventure - Brian and Wayne were patient in helping us learn to fish and we were very successful IMO. Very professional and took time to explain about the reef and fishing in the Keys - Don't go anywhere else if you want to have a good time - pick a good day also that is not windy.
