Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had an Amazing day with Straw Hat Charters! Had some clouds, wind and rain, but Capt Jeremey knew exactly where to go and avoid most of the wind and rain. We caught fish, went out to Boca Grande Key, spent time on the beach while Jeremey cooked up some amazing fish tacos. What a great day!

The best charter company in Key West! If you are looking for fishing or sand bar trip or a mixture or both Jeremy is the best. He knows all the good spots. We’ve used his charter for many years and never disappoints.
My favorite is the sand bar trips. He will find the spots that a quiet for our group to have a blast.

Jeremy was a total blast and has a wealth of knowledge regarding the wildlife encountered on the sea. He was kind, personable and easy to talk to. I learned so while taking in the unbelievable scenery. Not to mention, our catch of the day (Mahi-mahi) was a thrill to reel in. He even filleted the catch at the dock for us to take into town for dinner! All around great dude and great time. I definitely recommend Straw Hat Charters!!!

The captain seemed to know what he was doing but seemed to be worn out and just kind of going through the motions. I wouldn't recommend the boat unless the seas were going to be less than 1 foot as the only seating was in the bow where you get beat to death in a chop. There is no retractable seating in the back where the ride is much better. We've hired many guides and the ones in Key West kind of make us feel like we happen to be "the ones giving the money this time" "if not us, it'd be somebody else". Not terrible, and it's kind of hard to explain but we've not had that feeling on any of our guided trips on 4 other Caribbean islands.

Booked half a day with Captain Jeremy based on other reviews and was really looking forward to it. My 11 year old son had never been fishing before and really wanted to give it a go. I had never fished before and didn't really want to (!) but we were combining it with other things. From the start the attitude seemed to be there are your rods, get on with it and don't damage my boat. I have very weak wrists/arms and so gave up quite quickly as I was really just feeding the fish and was offered no assistance to reel them in. My son caught five, but also got very little assistance or encouragement, and being extremely hot due to the fact there was no shade on the boat gave in as well. I have to say my son then had the best experience snorkeling but then was time for lunch. We had picked up some sandwiches on the way so Jeremy took us to a quite island, unfortunately by the time we had waded through the sea no sooner had we found somewhere to sit that wasn't covered in seaweed the flag was raised instructing us to return to the boat! Overall I hate to say but I just couldn't recommend, unless perhaps you are an avid fisherman......

We try to go to the Keys at least once a year for the last 12 years or so, but this was the first time we chartered with Capt Jeremy. Like most of his customers we heard about him by word of mouth, in this case a friend that like us travels down there yearly, and has been friends with Jeremy for many years. With that said, I have to give some background on this last trip in order to show the impact of this one excursion.
We are from Wilmington NC, but I grew up in Denver Co. Several friends flew out and met us there including my best friend from elementary school and his wife, their first time to the Keys. We rented a house in the Truman Annex (Awesome) for a week. The first night was the Fantasy Fest parade, which started behind the house we rented (again, awesome). So we started with Fantasy fest, went through Parrot Head week, visited other keys in our convertible, stayed in Sugarloaf and finished the trip watching the international powerboat races back in Key West. My point is that we asked our friends what was their favorite part and without hesitation they said the charter with Capt Jeremy was awesome, and it was. When we booked the charter with him he asked me what we wanted to do? I told him we want to have fun and left it up to him. Wow, we went on a bit of a boat tour on the back side of Key West, chased dolphins, snorkeled a reef, caught a bunch of fish, pulled in a 80 pound shark(released it), found a secluded beach, drank beer in the sand watching the sunset while he grilled us dinner on the back of the boat... this did not suck!
Now, if you are a complainer, or rude, or just no fun to be around (if you fit this description you know who you are), then don't bother, Capt Jeremy will not be interested in spending time with you! But, if your good folks (you also know who you are) you will love your time with Capt Jeremy, we can't wait until our next time, thanks Jeremy!

Capt Jeremy took us out on the water to a place the locals call snipes key. before we got there we went snorkeling . had 3 kids with us and capt Jeremy supplied our snorkeling gear for us .He also caught some lobster for us too eat later. He was very good with the kids and explained the names of the various fish to our kids. my wife and I were very thankful. when we got to the island we anchored and the capt started cooking lunch. We had lobster tacos, which were incredible . later we got to explore the island and the kids loved it. this was just the type of adventure we were looking for. We have done the other snorkeling boats but we liked this better because of the more personalized attention. I would recommend Strawhat Charters to anyone.

Such a fantastic day on the water. Had such a good time! Captain Jeremy took us off shore fishing, snorkeling, and treated us to a great fresh lunch! Highlight of our trip, coming back just to do this again! (:
