Best charter ever.

What else can I say about Dirty Boat than it was incredible. From the moment we stepped on the boat it was evident they wanted us to have the best time possible. This was the first charter I had been on to this magnitude for Mahi and a sportier fish. We were actually supposed to go fish with Dirty Boat in October but it was cancelled to due to Hurricane Milton. Capt. Kit was awesome with communication and recommended the best dates to reschedule. We made it happen in May. They welcomed us on and asked what we wanted our day to look like and catered to us the whole time. First Mate Mike was incredible. He ran his tail off the entire time having patience with some of the less experienced in our party and one of us that has a prosthetic leg. Mike was helpful the whole time getting us all in the action. After the charter was done we continued to have a blast while they cleaned the fish and we had some drinks. It was truly one of those days you didn’t want to end. I am counting down the days until I can go out with these guys again.

This was my first deep sea charter. Captain Kit and First Mate Mike nailed it. Mahi, tuna and amberjack were harvested. We had 5 folks and everyone caught multiple fish. Thanks Dirty Boat!

What an awesome crew! They got us on the fish and were very polite while doing it. Good clean boat, top of the line tackle and transparency as to what their plan is on catching fish.

Great trip. These guys know how to offshore fish and where the fish are. We cought a bunch of mahi early and a couple of tuna then they ask if we wanted to try for an amber jack and we said yeah. First pass hooked on but lost it went back for a second pass and hit one landing that one. We then went back to chasing some mahi for the rest of the trip. Ended with like 26 mahi 3 tuna and an AJ couldn’t ask for a better day. Thank you so much for an amazing day on the water with a great captain and mate they are 2nd to none.

Our trip was awesome! I will definitely do it again next time I get back to the Keys. Thanks to our captain and crew for going the extra distance to make sure our day was amazing and unforgettable.

Great time. The guys went above & beyond to put us on fish. Not as dirty as the name says but there is a black mark on it! Definitely would book again plus the view at Robbie’s coming back in is incredible!!

Great Trip!!! Captain Kit and First Mate Mark (aka Doctor Pilchard) gave us a great fishing trip on the reef. Started off catching bait (like almost all of the charters in the Keys) then we headed out to the reef. As soon as the chum bag went over the fish came up. We caught enough yellowtail snapper for 3 dinners for 6-8 people. We could have caught more but frankly, we had enough (why get greedy?). We then went looking for grouper which didn’t cooperate but not for lack of trying by the Captain and Mark. We will definitely charter the Dirty Boat again not just for the fishing but Mark’s playlist as well. Great boat and crew. 5 Stars! BTW, our trip was on May 6. Great time of year!

Simply put it was a FISH SMACK DOWN! These guys are the REEL DEAL no reason to fish elsewhere thx for the fish it tasted awesome for dinner that night see ya next year

My Husband and I came down to Islamorada keys for our honeymoon, and booked Dirty Boat Charters and had a great experience with the captains! Our first 30 minutes we both brought in the cow and the bull and put on a good fight! We also caught an Amberjack and that put a hell of a fight! Highly recommend charting with the captains on Dirty Boat at Robbie’s Marina in Islamorada Keys for a great fishing experience! We can’t wait to book another one!

Captain Kit & his mate Mike are great guys who know their stuff & are very accommodating. We had 5 fish on at once with 3 of us fishing & with Kit & Mike’s help we managed to boat all 5.

Highly recommended the dirty boat 2.0! Great time fishing with the crew! Looking forwarded for future fishing trips!

Captain Kit and Captain Chad created a memorable experience fishing off the coast on a half day charter with my 13 year old son. We caught 14 yellow snapper, a grouper, a couple of blue parrotfish, and a few other species in spite of some …

Another great trip with Capt. Carson and first mate Braxton!

Had an amazing day on the water. Spent 1/2 day charter and made the most of it having caught yellow snapper, mahi, barracuda, a file fish, and a few hound fish. Most importantly, we had a blast, felt safe and were entertained. My two …

This was the best charter we have ever taken. The captain and mate were nice and helpful. We had a great time and caught lots of fish! They knew right where to put us on the best places. The captain even hand delivered my cup I forgot on the boat to our house! Best charter hands down!!!

Capt. Kit and first mate Mark were excellent and provided a memorable time for my grandson Ace, wife Martha, and son Matt. Highly recommend them. Fishing was awesome!

Kit and crew always deliver. Flyin’ kites for oversized sailfish is a complete blast! Cannot wait to return next year for trip #3!

Captain Kit and first mate Mark are the best combo in the Keys! Professional, super knowledgeable, great with the family and enthusiastic about each leg of the trip. It was a journey for sure, starting out catching bait at the grounds, then moving on to a hump to catch a gaggle of Yellowtail Snapper, a big Mutton Snapper, and even caught and release a big black grouper. Phase two complete, we hammered it home in the third phase with a big sailfish (caught and released) and then found a frenzy of willing mahi, enough for everyone to catch a few. Needless to say we had a great time and recommend hooking up with Captain Kit next time you’re down in Islamorada. First class all the way.

Always a fun time on the dirty boat.great time on the water.been on several trips.

We had a great time out with captain Kit and mate Mike! We caught our limit with yellowtail and caught some huge king makeral! Also reeled in a nurse shark!! Great fun! Can’t wait to go back!!

My 14 year old nephew and I went on for a full day charter looking for sailfish and the dirty boat delivered. We caught a couple of Mahi Mahi (dinner) and then the first sailfish hit. She cut the line and was quickly gone. That’s fishing. We hooked a second and my nephew took the line. Captain Kit and fist mate Mike were outstanding guiding my nephew on how to bring her in. After 3 hours of fighting, we finally got the sailfish to the boat. It was the thrill of his life to get his first bill fish. I just want to say that my nephew loves fishing but Mike was a great teacher and show him how to put the lines in the kite and spent real time teaching him how to fish for billfish. These guys cared, took pride in their boat, job and were happy to teach my nephew some tricks to getting him in. They also stay out 2 extra hours as we hit this sail fish late and stayed until we got him. They were fantastic and we will come back to fish with them again. They even let me play the music I wanted while we were on the way out to the fishing grounds. I highly recommend them and I have been on many charters in my life but there attitude and pride in showing, teaching my nephew, priceless. We will be back in the spring and go fishing again with Captain Kit and first mate Mike. Thanks guys for a real good time.

Absolute blast with Captain Kit and First Mate Mike. It was fun being put on barracuda for a good fight. The snapper we caught was delicious.
