Having a fishing tradition in Key West waters for over 40 years starting from Captain Joe Mercurio Sr. in the 40s and 50s, Mercurio family has also developed a keen ecological awareness. Captain Joe Sr. – father of Captain Joe – has passed the tradition to the next two generations. Therefore, the Mercurios value the richness of this sea which occurs in form of an extensive variety of fish – dolphin, swordfish, sailfish and the most coveted catch for any angler – the marlin.
Key West was the home of Nobel Prize winner legendary author and sportsman Ernest Hemingway who brought forth the Sothernmost waters as ideal region for marlin fishing. Though several captains talk about marlin fishing today, only a few actually catch this awesome fish, and our Captain Joe is one of them, as he is very well-acquainted with the position of the fish and knows how to hook them.

It’s a sheer joy to embark on a Key West fishing trip on Triple Time with Captain Joe where you can target marlin and sailfish in the deep blue waters of the Gulfstream, troll for your dinner of mahi mahi or dorado dolphin, explore the reef for snapper or hook the big jacks. Mercurios also provide you a fishing calendar with which you can decide what to target based on the time of the year.
So, if you want to have an unforgettable fishing experience, Key West is your destination where Triple Time’s Captain Joe and his crew are ready to welcome you aboard.
