Professional Fishing guides of the Key West fishing team

Kyle Kelso and Steven LampThe Key West fishing team of Dream Catcher Charters is an assembly of dedicated watermen that have chosen guided fishing charters as their career.

Nowhere in the Key West area will you find a better collection of young men to take you fishing and show you a stellar time on the water with only a few things in mind - your enjoyment, your safety and your fishing.

The Professional Guide

A professional fishing guide is a waterman that makes his full time living as a fishing guide. Day in and day out this is all that he does. Our professional guides are on the water 300+ trips per year they have little time to do anything else.

Hard Work and Training

To make it as a Dream Catcher Charters fishing guide it takes dedication, dicipline, desire to be the best and personality. Many dont make it and wash out when they find that they will be kept to a higher standard than an ordinary Key West pro fishing guide. A higher standard that requires them to know more about their particular fishery, take better care of the boat they are on and offer clients a customer service level that will be outstanding every day. To run at a level the rest dream of acheiving.

The advantage

Going with a Professional fishing guide gives you an advantage of experience, networking and being in the loop.

Experience is key to knowing how to show you a great day on the water. Let's face it. Finding and catching fish is the easy part.. Knowing what you want in your day of fishing is the challenge, only a professional fishing guide can master this

Networking is essential to fishing here in the Key West area. Networking with other guides on the water will improve any days fishing. Getting quality information from other professional guides and peers on the water will help show you the best day possible. At Dream Catchers we have a "there is no secret" policy. If one of our professional fishing guides is on a spot that is being productive the rest know of it and if there is room all can fish it. Kyle Kelso releases a trout

Being in the loop is essential to complete the trilogy of professional guiding. Rule number one.. You have to be on the water.. Rule number two. See Rule number one. Being in the loop knowing day to day changes in tide, weather, temps, water salinity, cloud cover effects, current changes, wind direction effects and the list goes on.. Being in the loop is primary to a guides success here at Dream Catchers. Our guys fish every day...

As a company Dream Catcher Charters has gained the reputation of quality, perfection and professionalism. This did not come from one person. This came from years of professional fishing guide being a part of a well oiled machine the machine that is The Key West Fishing Team. Just check out our Trip Advisor recommendations or our client feed back page here on this web site to see what our huge repeat clientele thinks of us.

These are Hired Fishing Guides and We are Proud of them

Our competitors spend a ton of time trying to tear us down. They will tell you that our guides are "hired" fishing guides.. They are right. All of the fishing guides of Dream Catcher Charters are hired by you to go fishing, even the Owner. Can you imagine a fishing guide that does not have to answer his phone to book business while on your charter? How about not having to worry about marketing, boat payments, insurance and breakdowns. Further more new motors every year on the incredible boats we run here made by Yellowfin Yachts. Take all that stress away from a fishing guide and you have a fine tuned device for finding you fish day in and day out. Always happy and always smiling always ensureing his custmer service is the best to make sure you want to come back next year and fish with him.... All because he is living the dream.

Seems better to me... And to our 1400 charters a year with 40% repeat clinetele.

permitIF a fishing guide is good enough to make our team they start the training process. In that process most fall out, some make it. We dont ever just throw a guy on the water. The training process can take up to 4 months to do just the most basic of fishing charters. Most catch on faster than that. Most have extensive backgrounds fishing other arenas.

The fishing guides that work for Dream Catcher Charters are all aspiring independent fishing guides who want to learn, not just how to fish, but how to make guided fishing a way of life and living. We give them the tools to take on their own. We are proud that a few of our alumni have made a great life for themselves as independent fishing guides here in Key West and elsewhere.

Our competitors have some of the fishing guides that used to work with us and some that did not make our team, some that just moved on. If they would spend more time focused on their dedication to quality like we do, they might be formidable, till then, compare our reviews and see for yourself.

Reputation

Not only have we been around since 1993 but we have earned a reputation of quality and service with no bounds. Often imitated but so far, hardly duplicated.
