We had a fantastic time on the Tortuga IV Party Boat. We walked up and they had spaces available for the afternoon trip. The cost was reasonable. We had great weather and the boat ride out was a lot of fun. The mate Jeff had a sense of humor during our safety briefing. While out in the ocean we moved... More

Definitely worth the $55/pp price for fishing in some of the best areas if you are a casual or beginner like me. We went on a rough day and my wife got sick as did some other people, but even given that I enjoyed myself. The others posters are right - the captain and his buddies fish and use much... More

This is a party boat, so you'll be sharing the crew with others and your equipment won't be state-of-the-art, but for the price, it's always fun. It was windy so weren't able to go to the better fishing grounds, but everybody on the boat caught plenty of Yellowtail and Grunts. We ended up with enough for an enormous dinner for... More

Mates worked hard and captain moved twice trying to locate fish. Problem is the gear supplied is designed to prevent tangles. They use heavy eggs sinker and big hooks. Most of fish caught by regulars with little jig heads. I'll try it again with my own gear. More

Arrive early and have fun. The crew works really hard and they help you with whatever you need. They filet the fish when you are done. We have gone about 9-10 times in the last 6 months and always bring friends and family on this boat when they want to fish. I highly recommend it. The bathrooms could use some... More

First off, I would like to thank mates Ray and Derek and the Captain for giving me the time of my life!!! I was extremely worried due to the fact that there was some pretty negative comments regarding this boat! But I did it anyway, and am glad I did.. First off, they are very helpful and want everyone to... More

We found the crew extremely helpful and focused on the guests having a very good time. The boat was clean, the equipment was in good working order. We had a beautiful day with calm water. They even cleaned our fish with no surcharge. Then they recommended a number of restaurants where we could pay a nominal price per person to... More

I rated this boat as terrible in a December, 2009 review. It was an honest assessment. We've been back to Key West every year since 2009. I've fished on the other party boats and have gotten to know some of the Key West party boat regulars. These guys, and some of their wives who fish, are retirees who are here... More

I saw a few negative reviews but decided to go anyway since I believed that the reviews could be from a biased sample anyway (people really loves it or hates the trip wrote 30 reviews out of 2800 trips, 365*2*4 trips between 2007 to 2011). It was a cloudy afternoon trip (2 to 6PM) at 12/28/11 and the forecast was... More
