Private Charters

We went out in less than ideal conditions and they still put us on the bugs! Had a boat full and back at the dock before midnight! Top notch operation!

Great time got our limit so quickly

Had a great time and great guys who know what they’re doing! Made it happen even on a tight travel schedule, highly recommend!

Ben was a great guide. He gave good instructions and was patient with kids learning. Definitely recommend!

Captain Ben was amazing! We caught our four-person limit in no time, and the entire trip was an absolute blast. He knew exactly what he was doing and made the experience unforgettable. If you’re thinking about bully netting in the Keys, look no further! We will never come back to the Florida Keys without booking a trip with Lobster Bully Charters! Highly recommend Captain Ben to anyone looking for an awesome experience! 🦞🔥

Ben was extremely fun to go out lobster fishing with. He was upbeat, energetic, helpful and friendly. We all had a great time and Ben worked super hard to fill up our bag. We limited out and the lobsters were great. He told jokes and we laughed all night on his custom setup whaler which was perfect for catching lobster.

Ben was great. Got our limit of lobsters in no time! Thank you so much!

Thank You Captain Ben And First Mate Alan For An Amazing Fishing Experience! We Can’t Say Enough About Our Wonderful Charter! BenOFishal Is A First Class Operation , Super Efficient With Kindness , Care and Lots of Charisma! 2 People , 18 Mahi , 10 Blackfin Tuna …. so Much Fun And We Cant Wait To see you again soon!

Ben was a great capt.. had an amazing experience with him.. Very knowledgeable, highly enjoyed the trip and the conversation.. Will recommend him to everyone..thanks again

We went early morning charter for 5.5hrs mid July. Little too rough to go after tuna but enjoyed getting some good snapper. Captain and deck hand were pretty cool guys!

Ben was awesome. Limited out on lobsters in in 2 hours and was a great host in the process. Highly recommend

Fun time with Captain Ben & a group of friends. Bad weather came in & had to cut short the trip but Captain Ben was more than fair & adjusted our price. We still got several lobster. We will use Captain Ben again.

Absolutely one of the highlights of our trip to the Keys! Ben was AMAZING. He is incredibly knowledgeable, but what really made the night was how much fun he made the entire experience. You can tell immediately that he knows these waters and knows exactly what he’s doing. We had an absolute blast lobster bully netting with him. Ben was patient, personable, funny and made sure we were involved and having a great time the entire night. This wasn’t just another charter—it was a true Florida Keys experience and one we’ll be talking about for a long time. Highly recommend booking a trip with Ben. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Rash and Raffield families

Had a great trip with several yellow tail snapper. My wife and daughter were super involved in the fishing and enjoyed the experience! We will be back!

Ben and his crew are amazing! They worked their butts off to put us on fish. We had an awesome time catching tons of yellowtail and limiting out on tuna. Boat was very comfortable and made for a fun and relaxing day. I would highly recommend Benofishal Sportfishing for your next Marathon charter!

Ben is awesome! If you’ve never bully netted lobster at night or haven’t done it with a charter, I would recommend giving Ben a call. We limited out on lobster in no time and had a great time doing it. It was a ton of fun and I look forward to doing it again!

Had a blast and hit our limit. Super fun way to catch lobster.

Captain Ben is as good as it gets! Got quick limits, really great guy and a great time. Super knowledgeable, learned a ton about bully netting and went home with a cooler full of lobster! Highly recommend

Had a great time Captain Ben was great we caught our limit in 2 hours he cleaned them for me before got back with my truck. Will go again next year also thanks for great experience see ya next trip

Wehad a great time with Capt Ben. He said after we tried bully netting we would never go diving for lobster again and he might be right. We managed a 4 person limit easily. This was the best evening we had during our stay and Capt Ben was funny and enterining enough to keep the converstaion and jokes going the entire trip. This is a fun and rewarding activity for the whole family to enjoy. Make sure to bring the kids!

Great team to fishi with! The crew put in the extra effort to make sure we got to accomplish our wish list. Everyone got to catch fish, laugh, and have a great time. Couldn't ask for more! We will definitely book again.

Captain Ben took us on a very unique fishing experience in Duck Keg, Fl. Drop netting spiny lobster was so much fun and Captain Ben knew exactly where to go to put us on the action. The next day we took the lobster to Porky’s restaurant where they cooked it up for us. I recommend everyone coming down to the keys try this! Go with the locals! They know what’s up!

During the trip the mate was rude because I cut the bait on the deck which I didn't know wasn't allowed there was slice marks already. And after still tipping him ten dollars for being rude he also refused to clean my fish after the captain said the cleaning was free. Not a good experience

Ben was great! Got our limit and definitely will be back. Had a blast!

I have been coming down to Marathon and Key Colony for years to go fishing. The charter I normally use was booked so I went out with Ben and his crew. Had an amazing day on the water and will be using Ben in the future. He also does Bullies netting charters too! Went out and hit our limit in just a few hours with 4 people on board. Thank you Ben for a great time!

Absolute world-class experience! We booked a 6-hour charter with Ben O'Fishal out of Marathon, and it completely exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Our group had a wide mix of experience levels, from seasoned anglers to total beginners, and Captain Alex and Jake couldn't have been more accommodating. Their patience, expert instruction, and incredible helpfulness made everyone feel comfortable and confident on the water. Not only did they put us on some great fish, we successfully reeled in a gorgeous mahi-mahi and a tuna. Everyone in our group left having learned so much more about both fishing and the local Marathon Key waters. This is easily one of the best charters we've ever been on. If you're visiting Marathon Key, checking out Ben O'Fishal is an absolute must!

Captains Ben, Alex and Sarah are true professionals with passion for delivering a great experience and tgen some. Good equipment, expert knowledge and fun, high character folks make for a memorable experience. Book now, you will, no doubt, be rewarded. Had a blast!! Already looking forward to my next adventure with Ben O'Fishal.

Fantastic trip with Captain Ben Zdan and Lobster Bully Charters! We limited out in just two hours and had an absolute blast. Captain Ben knew exactly where to go, and the country music was vibing the whole time. Pickup and drop-off from Duck Key was incredibly convenient. Highly recommend!

Five Stars all the way! We have 2 boats and they maxed out our limits! Very willing to help the kids and didn't even yell at me for missing the 10lb lobster the biggest he has ever seen. Definitely give them a shot you won't be disappointed!

If you’re looking for the best fishing and lobstering charter in the Keys, Captain Ben is the one to book! We had an incredible day on the water fishing and an amazing night lobstering. Both trips couldn’t have been a better experience!! Captain Ben and his team (Tyler) worked hard from start to finish to put us on the fish, 29 to be exact!! His knowledge of the area is seriously impressive. He made the trip so much fun while still making sure we had a successful day. You can tell he truly loves what he does, and it shows. The boat was spotless, the gear was top-notch, and everything was first class. Whether you’re an experienced fisherman or just looking for an unforgettable day on the water, I can’t recommend Ben O’Fishal Fishing Charter enough!!!! We went out with Captain Ben at night to lobster and it was an amazing experience! Again, he put on lots of lobster!! We made memories we’ll be talking about for years (and enjoyed an amazing late-night lobster dinner thanks to Captain Ben!). We’ll absolutely be back the next time we’re in the Keys. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🐠🎣🐟🦞

We had an absolute blast bully netting for lobster with Captain Ben! From the moment we pushed off, his determination to get us on the lobster was unmatched. He worked tirelessly to spot them and make sure we had plenty of opportunities to bring home a great catch. ​What impressed us even more was how he handled a pop-up storm that rolled in during our trip. Captain Ben stayed completely calm, made quick safety decisions, and navigated us through the bad weather without a single hitch. You can tell he knows these waters inside and out, and keeping his crew safe is his top priority. ​If you're looking for a captain who works his tail off to put you on lobster while keeping you safe in any condition, Captain Ben is your guy. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Captain Ben is simply the real deal. From the moment we stepped on the boat, he treated us like family. By the end of the trip, it honestly felt like we had made a lifelong friend in the Keys. What really sets Ben apart is how generous he is with his knowledge. Whether we were talking about fishing, the local waters, marine life, or just life in the Keys, he took the time to answer every question and share years of experience. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and wants his guests to have an amazing experience. He’s incredible with families and kids, making everyone feel welcome, comfortable, and involved. There’s never a dull moment, and he has a way of making every trip memorable. Whether you’re looking to catch trophy fish, fill the cooler, go bully netting, or experience just about anything the Florida Keys have to offer on the water, Captain Ben can do it all—and he does it at the highest level. I can’t say enough great things about Captain Ben and Benofishal Sportfishing. Professional, knowledgeable, hardworking, and one of the kindest people you’ll meet. If you’re considering booking a charter, don’t hesitate—you won’t just have a great trip, you’ll leave feeling like you’ve made a new friend. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a great time with Benofishal! The captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. Everything was well organized, and they worked hard to make sure we had a great experience on the water. We’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and memorable fishing trip, and we’d be happy to book with them again.

We had an amazing time on our fishing charter! Captain Ben and the mates, Sara and Tyler, were absolutely awesome. They were friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience so much fun. My boys especially loved it and had an incredible time! We would definitely recommend them and can’t wait to go fishing with them again! 🎣

The very best time me and my son have had in a long time. Captain Ben was great. First time me and my son have ever bully netted If you want to catch Lobster, this is the man you need to go with truly professional and great guy. Can’t wait to go again next year thanks again Captain Ben a great experience.

Captain Mike took us out on a day he doubted. Navigated the high waves masterfully and put us on fish when it was so rough, when you did hook one it was hard to keep you balance while reeling. They did great and we're wonderful. When one of our team got sick he road the waves back in to keep the up and down as smooth as possible. Got fish, had a good time and had a Captain that was really good. Mahi off the bucket list despite all odds !

This was one of the best fishing experiences we’ve ever had! We would absolutely book with Ben again if we have the chance to come back. Wonderful morning on the water!

Ben and Tyler were great to fish with. They both made sure that I and more importantly my son had a blast. Will book with them again next time we are in town.

Ben and Tyler were absolutely amazing for my group! We had a blast catching Yellowtail and just laighing. Highly recommend them!

Awesome time on the Ben O'Fishal! Comfortable ride on the bean bag chairs out to the reef and the wreck. Caught a 56 lb Amberjack and a ton of yellowtail. *Pro tip- take your catch to Lazy Days for dinner!

We had a great morning of fishing with Ben and his first mate Tyler. They were very professional and went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. I would highly recommend Ben as your guide in Marathon.

We had an amazing time on this fishing charter! Captain Ben was knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to put us on fish all day. Tyler was an excellent mate who was always helpful, kept everything running smoothly, and made the trip even more enjoyable. We caught plenty of fish and made some great memories. I highly recommend this charter and will definitely be booking again!

Wow we caught lots of fish. Ben is so knowledgeable and a local!

My son and I had a great time fishing with Ben. He worked us in on short notice and he and Tyler worked on getting us on a variety of species from yellowtail, mutton snapper and amberjack. We will contact him again when we get back down.

We had the BEST day with Ben and Tyler. Took our teen daughters to the keys for their first time and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Super knowledgeable on where the fish are, caught a ton, brought a ton back to cook. 10/10 🤘

We called a week prior and even with slight weather changes, this crew worked us right in on time and ready. We had a blast. Highly recommend this boat and crew! Great Yellowtail Day!!!

Myself and my father had a amazing time out on the water with these boys today i highly recommend!

We booked a four-hour trip with Ben, and we had so much action that we caught more than enough fish within the first two hours! I can’t even imagine what happens on a full-day charter. On top of that, his first mate, Tyler, was extremely knowledgeable. He explained everything in detail and gave us lessons we can use even beyond this trip. Five stars, without a doubt!

We have fished with Ben for several years, him and his mates have always been personable, professional, and very knowledgeable about fishing the area. We highly recommend you trusting the benofishal with your next offshore charter. If google had 10 star review we would leave 11 stars.
