Started out a little slow but then we started nailing the fish. Chris takes his job seriously and all he wants is for you to have a great fishing experience. We did a half day trip and even when our time was up he kept trying to find us more tuna. Didn't charge any extra either!!! Highly recommend Far Out fishing!!!

My friends and I had an awesome time on Captain Chris's boat. He put us on good spots, everyone in our group caught at least one nice sized fish, and overall had a ton of fun. Highly recommend this charter company if you are visiting Key West!

Appreciate the review! Thanks for booking with Far Out Charters. I know there are a lot of other fishing businesses but I truly work my hardest to put everyone on the fish and have an enjoyable time. Till next time!

I have fished against Capt Chris in tournaments and have been sword fishing with him a few times. He really knows what he's doing. One of the top guys around here in every tournament. He knows where the fish are and how to get em to the boat. Real laid back and fun guy to tell you what to do on the boat and how to do it to have a successful trip. If your coming to Key West after the monster fishing story, chances are Chris will get you on the fish and plenty of em. He grew up there and knows the waters. For the money you cant go wrong with Far Out Charters and Capt Chris.

Took a trip to Key West and our group chartered with Captain Chris. It was easily the highlight of our trip. Chris and his mate Tommy were helpful with the guys who hadn't fished before, both very friendly and cool to spend a day with on the water, and most importantly, put us on some quality fish.

Chris charters out of the nicest marina in Key West, and when you get back to the dock the restaurant can make an awesome meal with the fish you just caught. Great way to end a day on the water.

All around great guy, and works hard to make sure you have fun and catch fish.

If you're looking for a charter in KW, you owe it to yourself to call Captain Chris Mendola.
