We have fished with Pepe for over 10 years now. A 35lb Permit was caught on our first charter together, on his first charter of his own charter service. We fished with him once prior to that when he was a captain with another outfit with our two teenage boys. My arms were sore for a week afterward we hauled in so many fish that we were hooked on Key West ever since. We've fished reefs, wrecks and off-shore with Pepe and always caught nice fish. We are not game hogs so we let a lot of fish go and keep just enough to eat while we stay in rental condos. Excellent gear and boat and experience that makes every trip worth every dime.
NOTE: He won't take clients out on bad days when it's going to mean seasickness and safety is at risk. Some charter outfits will demand only full day trips during bad weather and will not refund your cash if you ask to come in early. They don't get referrals doing that. Pepe never does that kind of stuff. That's why people like me come back year...
Read morePepe's Charters is a premium adventure. Captain Pepe is the premier guide in Key West and the Florida Keys. His knowledge landed the boat plenty of back breaking and skilled angling! Pepe's navigation through the areas notoriously tricky waters was always certain. I was most impressed with how quickly he responded to fresh hooks and new bait. This was our second trip and it really was as much fun as our original experience. If you are looking for not only a fishing trip, but a complete extensive learning event. Then reserve a day on the water with Pepe's Charters. ...
Read moreI wanted to surprise my husband with a deep sea fishing adventure and Capt. Pepe did NOT disappoint!! I didn't know exactly what I wanted, just that I wanted my husband to have an awesome time and for it to be as fun as all the times I've heard him and his brother speak of. Well, he took his brother with him and the stories were better this time and they each promised each other to return next year and do it again. Wife of the year award, thanks...
