About

Greetings, I’m Captain David Perry of the offshore fishing boat Final Final, located at the Hawks Cay Marina on the island of Duck Key. I’ve spent my entire life fishing in the Florida Keys and I am excited about the opportunity to put you on some truly memorable fish! I specialize in fishing the reef for Snapper, Grouper, Sailfish, Kingfish and more!

No matter if you’re a beginner angler who’s never tied a hook before, or an old salt who’s reeled in your share of trophy fish, when you step aboard the Final Final, we will go out of our way to ensure your Florida Keys fishing experience is one you will never forget!

Captain David Perry:

Born and raised in the Florida Keys, I have been fishing since I was a small child. Over the years I have accumulated the local knowledge and the experience to not only find the fish, but to help you get them to the boat.

I have fished in Mexico, the Bahamas, and up and down the East Coast, but my favorite place to fish is still here in the Florida Keys. We have a diverse collection of sought-after game fish found nowhere else in the world, and each time I leave the dock I get excited about what we might catch.

I strongly believe that every trip should create a lasting memory for every angler on board, and I will work hard to catch fish and exceed your expectations.
