Florida Keys Snapper

Welcome to Florida Keys Reel Adventures!  This is your place to build your custom Florida Keys vacation adventure.

The Middle Keys and our Islands of Marathon are home to the best saltwater fishing in the world. Our coral reefs and wrecks offer spectacular snorkeling opportunities and Marathon is now quickly becoming a top ranked ecotourism destination.

Our visitors come from all over the world, many never having seen the ocean before and mostly unaware of the choices that exist to enjoy our local resources.  Florida Keys Reel Adventures offers an affordable custom service to provide a more rewarding experience  by catering exactly to the needs of each client.  Our goal is to provide happy adventurers with a rewarding, stress free day on the water creating memories that will last a lifetime.  The services that we offer are as diverse as each client’s interests and imaginations.  Capt. Kevin Johnsen is proficient in hardcore fishing and spearfishing, but also specializes in simple family fishing, snorkeling, lobstering,  family fun days, sand bar parties, sunset trips and so much more.  Not every day on the water is best suited for specific activities, so the door of options is kept wide open to maximize the potential for your perfect day on the water.

Come experience a “reel” adventure through a hybrid captain with multiple interests and resources with the desire to provide the highest level of personal customer service.  Please contact me for the latest up to date information on conditions, activities and bookings(even last minute).  If I am not capable of providing you with the desired adventure, I will be happy to apply my local knowledge to refer you to the best operator for your needs.  To make a reservation, click on “Reservations” on my home page, select your date on the calendar, select your half or full day trip and leave a deposit. Please fill out the “contact” form if you have specific concerns or needs.  I am best reached by phone after 7pm.  Thank you for visiting and I hope we can have a “reel” ocean adventure soon!
