Our family of 4 had a blast on the Dirty Boat with Capt. Kit Carson and Capt. Chad Pruitt during a 1/2 day of reef fishing. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. Caught lots yellowtail snapper and almost a sailfish! Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Second time we’ve used Dirty Boats and we have had such an awesome experience each time. Have an 11 year old daughter and they catered to her to make it an awesome experience. Highly recommend and will totally use them on my next trip.

We stumbled upon Dirty Boat in June 2024, and it was the our best and happiest accident. We fish with Kit just about once per month, and our fridges are always stocked. He’s a great captain, and he always makes it a great time for our kids. 5 stars isn’t enough 🙂

We did a 3 generation fishing trip with Captain Kit and first mate Mike. We all had a great time. But our 14 year old grandson was especially excited about the experience. He had caught some pretty big catfish before, but never a barracuda or an amberjack! Kit not only runs a great charter but he knows how to help everybody have fun. Thanks for the great catch!

We had a large group of guys for fishing. First of all, Captain Kit located partner boats to take care of our entire group, both deep water and backwater. All of the boast and captains were excellent. As for fishing with Captain Kit, we had a fabulous day. Everyone caught fish and he put us on a variety of fish including amberjack, tuna, maha mahi and others. Everyone had a great time and we’ll definitely be back!

Came to the Key’s for my wife’s birthday and she let me pick one activity for myself. I chose to book with Dirty Boat. Capt. Kit was awesome. He knew exactly where to go to make our trip exciting and memorable. He’s flexible and knowledgeable. The boat is comfortable and despite the name is clean. I can’t begin to say how grateful we are for the great day on the water and the great fishing.

We had the absolute best fishing experience ever with Captain Kit and First Mate Mark! From the moment we stepped on board, they were fun, energetic, and made the whole trip unforgettable. Mark was right there every step of the way—helpful, knowledgeable, and quick to make sure our lines were set perfectly. Kit clearly knows these waters inside and out, and it showed because every single time we dropped our line in, we got a bite!

Not only did they put us on the fish, but they made the trip a blast with their humor, professionalism, and passion for what they do. If you’re looking for a charter that guarantees both great fishing and a great time, this is it. Highly recommend!

Best fishing experience we’ve had in my 40 years of deep sea fishing. Kit and Mark were amazing. They were fun, patient with the kids, hands on and taught us different ways of doing things and all around fabulous. We won’t go anywhere else when we return. Thank you both!

What a fantastic trip. I was able to join a Split Charter and share the cost. Captain Kit and his mate were absolutely outstanding. Great Service, great conversation, great boat and most of all, GREAT FISHING. We wanted to go catch Mahi Mahi and Tuna and we caught fish from the moment we beagn fishing until it was time to go. As an avid fisherman and boat captain in the Northeast, I can absolutely reccomend Captain Kit and Dirty Boat. Feel free to contact me for a personal referral if you like

I booked this charter to go out and catch a Mahi Mahi. I have never fished for Mahi Mahi before today. We had nine Black Fin Tuna in the boat after the first hour of fishing. Still I was looking to catch my first Mahi Mahi. Like the famous
frontiersman before him Captain Kit Carson did not stop until we hit a school of Mahi Mahi. We land 15 of them. First mate Mark kept the lines baited nonstop. The boat was very comfortable & the crew made the experience great.

Captain Kip and deckhand Mike came through again for us in ensuring a memorable experience, we booked the 3/4 day private charter, told the captain we wanted mahi and tuna and he not only got us mahi and tuna, we were also able to catch a 50 pound amberjack which put up a 30 minute fight. This is our second trip with dirtyboat we will be back soon!

We scheduled our trip a few months in advance to go offshore, and the captain was in constant communication with us about our trip. The day before the trip, the captain texted us that it will be really rough out and probably wouldn’t be a good day to fish and the only other day that we could go was on the Saturday of our vacation. He was booked for that day, so he suggested another boat. Even though we didn’t get to go out fishing on this charter service, my family and I are very grateful to have such great communication from this captain. The next time that we are in the keys, we will definitely go out on Dirtyboat Charters!

Awesome day with Capt. Kit and Mike! They put us on fish and worked hard to keep us on them all day. We had a blast! Mahi Mahi, blackfin tuna and a nice Amberjack. We couldn’t have had more fun. My 11 year old grandson Leo had the time of his life not only because he was catching fish, but because of how Capt. Kit and Mike treated him. A true “memory maker” day. I can only say it was perfect. Thanks guys!!!

My three sons and I went fishing with Captain Kit for 2 days. One day of reef fishing and one day in deeper water. It was a great experience.

Captain Kit and his mate Chris are top notch. The boat is clean and well maintained. They provide clear direction on what to do and when to do it.

While we didn’t catch a monster, we caught plenty of fish.

Would definitely book with DirtyBoat again.

Capt Kit and mate Mike are amazing. This is the second time we used Dirty Boat charters and they are the only charter service we will use in the keys. Capt Kit is very knowledgeable and he puts you on the fish. They work extremely hard so you can have the best experience. I love this charter and I can’t recommend any other service except Dirty Boat. Thanks to Capt Kit and Mike for making my family’s trip amazing.

Special shout out to Mike for sacrificing his hat to keep the bite going.
