Captain Chris Mendola, owner of Far Out Charters, is extremely knowledgable and it is evident that he has been fishing and guiding for a very long time. It was really impressive watching him work so hard to put us on the fish and listening to him passionately share his knowledge of techniques and of the local fishery. His boat and gear were very impressive (Whitewater with twin Mercury outboards and high end Shimano reels with custom Esky rods).

Throughout the day we moved to multiple spots and used a variety of techniques and live baits to catch fish. He literally put us on so many fish that we couldn’t reel them in fast enough, which is a great “problem” to have! He put us on a GIANT school of tunas that were busting on top, which was one of the most incredible things I have ever witnessed in nature.

Overall, I recommend Far Out Charters with the highest regard. They are the most knowledgeable fishing charters I have ever used and I will certainly be using their services again. It was an outstanding and fast paced trip that exceeded our expectations and the results speak for themselves. We will absolutely be back to Key West for another trip with Captain Chris and Far Out Charters!

We went out with Chris for three days in a row. Weather was super rough, but he is absolutely amazing and still put us on fish and loaded our cooler. We will go back OVER AND OVER!!! He’s simply the best!

Have fished w/ Capt. Chris a few times and each time it is unforgettable. I can't wait to get back down there and do it again. Every time we go, we come home with a cooler full of filets and a book full of stories and memories. Capt. Chris truly knows how to get on the fish.

Captain Chris is truly the fish whisperer. He knows the fishing grounds like the back of his hand... and has a sixth sense when it comes to knowing what fish you have on the line. We had a great fishing experience and came away with some wonderful fish stories including great catches of Tuna and Wahoo... along with many others.

Capt. Chris is a fishing rock star. Kept our whole family teens and adults entertained. Not afraid to open the engines up to find the fish. He generally always finds good fishing. The only charter I would use while in key West. We have gone back several times and plan on going many more.
