Craig squeezed us in for a last minute trip had a blast fishing the docks

Craig is an amazing guide. He has a depth of fishing knowledge and is especially engaging with the kids.

Forget 5 stars, this guy is 11/10. Outstanding Captain! First trip was me and two buddies looking to target some fun flats fishing with a special emphasis on redfish. Capt. Craig absolutely nailed it. The day tallied out with my buddy landing his first redfish, as well as our group catching more species than i care to count, we found a school of Jack Crevalle and chased them around catching one right after the other until we were more than satisfied to call it a day. As an added bonus we brought home a couple of the many mangrove snapper we caught for a little bit of groceries. If your in the neighborhood looking for a fun fishing experience, I strongly recommend you book with Capt. Craig of Goliath Charters.

Captain Craig is awesome! Great with my teenage boys. Very knowledgeable and passionate about his business. He really knows his stuff and is happy to help vacationers have a true keys fishing experience. Not only will we be repeat customers, we will shout from the rooftops that this is the charter to book for a fun and successful experience!

Craig will hustle until midnight for you! He’s a bunch of fun and knows the area exceptionally well. I will go back!

Great experience, fishing with Craig. I highly recommend him…. be prepared for a great time!

Craig is a fantastic guide. I went on a trip with him for a wild adventure and we got just that! His boat and equipment are very nice. He puts you on the spot to catch some bucket list fish. The weather wasn’t cooperating with us in the morning so Craig worked very hard to run us around the storms and put us on fish. He even broke up our trip to maximize prime times for being on the water! Started off as a guide and we left as friends! I highly recommend fishing with Goliath. Charters, and HIGHLY recomend hand-lining some big goliaths!

Fish with Captain Craig! With years of guiding experience, he will put you on the fish and get them in the boat. Absolute joy to fish with!

We have fished with Craig on several occasions and it’s always a blast. A lot of people can catch fish but to be a successful guide you not only have to be able to put your clients on good fish consistently but you absolutely have to be fun to fish with. I tell everyone if you are able to get on a trip with Craig you are going to have a great time. Book your trip today and have some fun!

Can’t say enough good things about my experience with Craig! He’s an expert guide with a ton of patience and local knowledge. We will be returning often to Cudjo Key and he will for sure be our Go To Guide!

What a awesome time! I went on a spur of the moment fishing trip while on business! Craig was awesome! He knows his way around, his equipment was top notch and just a great guy and guide I hope to get there again and will definitely be back! We caught A huge tarpon and a bunch more!

If you want to rip the lips off fish, Capt. Craig is your guy. This barefoot Fabio of the Keys can put you on anything from Nemo to Jaws. The way he pilots his boat on the flats would give Capt. Jack Sparrow a run for his money. His knowledge and experience fishing the lower keys may only be exceeded by Poseiden himself. Books will be wrote about his legend.

Seriously, give this man your money and get ready to bend some rods and experience the beauty the keys have to offer. You cannot go wrong with Capt Craig.

We fished with Craig and we had two goals: Catch a Goliath Grouper and a Tarpon. Craig went out of his way to make sure we caught both. I am going back to the Keys next year and would look forward to fishing with him again. Excellent guide!

Always a great experience with Craig. He is very knowledgeable about all the fish species. He knows the back country very well. We have been everywhere from big Pine Key to the Marquesas with Craig. We and our family have experienced multiple trips with Craig and he never disappoints .

Great guy! He knows what he is doing has some great spots and will always put you on some good fish! Never thought I would have so much fun fishing close to shore! Definitely book him!

This trip was absolutely amazing! We all had an amazing time and caught tons of fish! Captain was so patient with our fresh water casting and teaching us about the saltwater ways! He had his own fresh bait, and helped all of us learn to bait, cast, and reel in multiple catches, and took us to amazing sandbars and fishing spots. We highly recommend to charter with him to have a Goliath time on the water!!!

Craig is fantastic at what he does. Whether you want to fish the backwaters, catch tarpon, spearfish, catch & release Goliath Grouper, or simply see the beauty of the Keys Craig is your man. He also is a wizard of dodging the summer storms!

I did a half day flats/back country trip with Cpt. Craig. Let me tell you it was the best time I’ve ever had! He put me on tarpon that I only dreamed of. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone!!
