We fished 2 days with Capt. Bob following a strong cold front in April. Despite the disruption to the fishery, we were put on some awesome blackfin tuna and a monster sailfish. Highly recommend Sundance Sportfishing. Can't wait to come back!

Spent a few days fishing with Captain Bob and 1st Mate Todd. Went down to have a little fun and catch a few fish. Absolutely exceed my expectations by catching 2/3 on wahoo and 4/4 on sailfish. What a great day! Hopefully we get to go again soon.

Really enjoyed fishing with captain Bob today. Caught a lot of different species and a lot of good fish. Have been fishing with him for over 10 years and will be continuing to fish with him.

Greatest day! Our husbands had the best day fishing. Captain Bobby and first mate Shawn did a fantastic job. Sailfish, snapper, mackerel and dolphin were abundant on this day.

We had a great time offshore with Shawn and Todd. Caught a bunch of Mahi and let a lot go.Deep dropped and that was really cool. Caught a nice Barrelfish 835 feet down. Have fished with some of the best captains in the Keys and these guys are as good as anyone.

Yesterday was a very enjoyable and productive day with the Sundance crew (captain Shawn and boat mate Todd). They had a never die attitude for finding the fish. 8 Tuna, 15 Mahi and 1 good size Triple tail. Very respectful and attentive to our needs. Will reccomend to anyone wanting a professional charter.

I've always wanted to catch a shark and Captain Bob and Todd made sure I did. Two large ones, to be exact! We also caught several dinner fish and quite a few other fish. We caught something almost every cast. Highly recommend and I will be booking another trip with Captain Bob next time I'm in the Keys!
