Above & Below Adventures is a family business in the sunny Florida Keys dedicated to providing our guests with unforgettable fishing experiences tailored just for them.
We believe that fishing isn’t just something you do – it’s an experience everyone should be able to enjoy and share.
That’s why we strive to create a fun and safe environment for our guests, utilizing top-of-the-line tackle and nuanced instruction on the best techniques.
Meet Capt. Jose Jr.
For Captain Jose “Jr.,” life on the water started early. Growing up in the Florida Keys, fishing wasn’t just a hobby but a way of life. He had to be on the water if he wanted to spend time with his dad. That saltwater got in his blood young, and it’s been there ever since.
While his love for the ocean never faded, Jr. also had big dreams on land. A talented left-handed pitcher, he earned a college baseball scholarship, stepping away from the sea to chase another passion. But after a few years in the mountains of Tennessee, the ocean called him home.
Back in the Keys, Jr. picked up right where he left off—diving, spearfishing, and fishing commercially alongside his father, Captain Jose Sr. What started as sharing a few catches online quickly grew into a thriving social media presence. People were drawn to the action, the fish, and the adventure—above and below the surface.
Meet Capt. Jose
As a young boy, Jose Rodriguez spent countless days staring out at the ocean. As a child growing up on the island of Cuba, all he could do was dream because the government strictly controlled boats.
Even at that age, he knew one day he would be a sea captain plying his craft on the waves. When Jose was just seven, his parents won the citizen lottery and were allowed to emigrate to America and become citizens.
With a small sense of sadness and a great sense of the wonders to come, Jose and his family took their first charter. Once here, Jose took to the water like a fish, spending all of his free time diving in the waters offshore his new home in Miami.
