As a parent, I can honestly say this was one of the most memorable experiences weโ€™ve ever had. The captain was absolutely incredible with our sonโ€”patient, encouraging, and genuinely excited to help him catch fish. Watching our little guy reel in his first fish with that huge smile is a memory weโ€™ll have forever.
The water was crystal clear, the fishing was nonstop, and to top it all off, we ended the trip with a stunning Florida Keys sunset that felt like the perfect finish to a perfect day. It was one of those moments where you just stop and take it all in.
We left with fresh fillets bagged up and a very proud young fisherman who hasnโ€™t stopped talking about his โ€œbest day ever.โ€ If you're visiting the Keys, I cannot recommend this charter enoughโ€”especially if youโ€™re looking to create special family memories. We will absolutely be back! Jeff N. - Google Review

When you fish with Kerry you not only gain an amazing fishing experience but a new friend as well. I have spent 50 years fishing with countless guides and when you strike Gold with a man like Kerry it takes the experience to a different level. If you are going to the keys, do yourself a favor and spend a day on the water with Kerry and his guys! Rob- Google Review

I had the pleasure of fishing with Dez and Jose twice this week. Dez and Jose were both professional, organized and helpful in every way. We had people that had fished and people that hadn't and these guys made sure every single one of us caught fish and had fun. We caught such a wide variety! I can't say enough out them. The owner Kerry made sure I got on a boat, when no one else would (I was looking for a split trip initially). Again, I cant recommend these guys enough. From fishing pros to beginners, you're going to have the time of you life on this boat! FISH ON!!! Jenny S - Google Review

I canโ€™t say enough great things about my experience with Hennessey Sportfishing. We had made plans well in advance and had a lot of questions as first time charter guests. They were all answered timely and Captain Kerry even gave us insight into other things we can do at our vacation spot and other fishing tips. He also rearranged his schedule to accommodate a morning trip for us. There was no wasted time on the trip and we caught more fish than I thought we ever could. Kerry was also very patient and taught my 12 year old a lot. We canโ€™t wait to go back! Mellisa - Google Review

Captain Dez and the Hennessy Fishing Charter delivered an absolutely outstanding day on the water. From the moment we boarded, Captain Dezโ€™s patience and teaching skills stood out โ€” he expertly guided a brand-new fisherman and a teen in our group, explaining techniques clearly and encouraging them every step of the way. His calm, friendly instruction made learning fun and boosted everyoneโ€™s confidence.

Captain Dez went above and beyond to make the trip memorable. He tailored the experience to our group, anticipated needs, and kept us on the fish all day โ€” we were constantly reeling in catches and celebrating together. His local knowledge, safety-first approach, and genuine enthusiasm turned a simple charter into an unforgettable family adventure.

If you want a captain whoโ€™s an excellent teacher, incredibly patient with beginners, and relentless about putting you on fish, book Hennessy Fishing Charter with Captain Dez. Highly recommended โ€” five stars all the way! Salvatore - Google Review

Went out with Captain Des and Mike. Did the 4 hour trip and came back with more fish than we ever expected. It was super fun and it was pretty effortless, but the fish are out there and Captain Des knows all the best spots. Highly recommend the 4 hour option if you want to just get out on the water in the morning, and come back with a couple days worth of dinner, but still have some daylight left to go out do stuff.

We fished a mahi tournament with Hennessy Sportfishing and had an incredible time! The crew brought great energy, kept us on the fish, and made the whole experience fun from start to finish. We ended up placing 4th in the tournament and brought in some quality mahi. Everything was smooth, professional, and exciting. Highly recommend if you're looking to fish and still have a great time on the water! Patrick - Google Review
