Chris and Cole took me and three buddies out spearfishing for wahoo and didn’t disappoint. All 4 of us got at least one 40lb+ wahoo each. Amazing experience that we plan on making an annual trip. Far Out Fishing Charters is worth every penny!!!

Two days with capt Chris of fishing, spearfishing and catching lobsters with the ticklers... all good stuff. Went back to Airbnb with plenty of fish and lobster for ceviche/ fried grouper tacos couldn’t have been a better catch/clean/cook experience. He will help out if needed and is a great story teller to fill in some of the time while getting offshore. Great for first time beginners or seasoned anglers alike. We caught and speared mangrove snapper, mutton snapper, black grouper, reef donkeys and of course plenty of lobster. Thanks again Chris !

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.
