Harrison’s Chew Charters has the deepest, most consistent review record on this stretch of the Treasure Coast, a near perfect rating across roughly 198 reviews. Captain Kevin runs a versatile 34 foot Twin Vee catamaran with mate Jack, fishing the mix the area offers, mahi mahi and sailfish on the troll, snapper and grouper on the bottom, and the price includes the gear and the license. The one thing to know up front is the base: it launches from Jensen Beach, a few miles north of Stuart, on the same Treasure Coast grounds.
The verdict and where it ranks
At 8.3 Harrison’s Chew is a strong choice and the second ranked boat in the Stuart area, just behind Off the Chain Fishing. The case for it is simple and strong: a captain anglers single out by name across more reviews than any other boat here, all of them near perfect, on a comfortable catamaran at a fair price with the gear thrown in. Two honest trades keep it a half step below the top. It is a 34 foot catamaran, a versatile boat rather than a dedicated big game sportfisher like D-n-T Charters or Hate 2 Lose Sportfishing, and it is based in Jensen Beach rather than Stuart proper. For seats by the person, the Lady Stuart party boat is far cheaper. The full field is on the Stuart ranking.
The boat
The boat is a 34 foot Twin Vee 340 catamaran, a center console on twin 350 horsepower Suzuki four strokes, licensed for up to 6 anglers. The catamaran hull is the strength: it rides flatter and drier than a monohull center console, which makes a versatile offshore and bottom boat that handles the Treasure Coast chop well. It is not a big cabin sportfisher, so for a long, hard offshore day chasing sailfish or swordfish the larger boats in the port have the edge on range and shelter, but for the mix of fishing most visitors want, it is a comfortable, capable platform.
The fishing and what you target
Harrison’s Chew fishes the full Treasure Coast spread and is built around versatility. The troll produces mahi mahi and sailfish in season, and the bottom and reefs give up snapper, cobia, kingfish, goliath grouper, and shark, worked with bottom, drift, and trolling techniques depending on the day. That range is part of why the reviews run so deep: the captain fishes to what is biting rather than forcing one style. The Atlantic seasons set the targets, sailfish a winter release fishery, gag grouper open in summer, and red snapper, the prize, paused for 2026 by a court order.
Trips and prices
Private, whole boat trips start around $1,200 for up to 6 anglers, with the tackle, lures, and licenses included, so the only thing left to bring is food and drinks. Trips run half to full day, with the longer runs reaching better offshore ground. The value is a real part of the case: a fair price for a private offshore boat with the gear thrown in, cheaper than the higher priced sailfish sportfishers in the port. Confirm the current rate and the trip length when you book. Our cost guide and the party boat versus private charter guide set that against a party boat seat.
The crew
The crew is the reason the boat ranks where it does. Across roughly 198 reviews at a near perfect rating, the deepest record on this stretch of coast, the steady themes are Captain Kevin and mate Jack treating anglers like old friends, putting first timers and families on a variety of fish, and running a personal, attentive trip. That kind of volume at that rating is rare for a single boat and is the clearest signal of a consistent operation. As an owner run charter, the captain you read about is the one running your trip.
Booking and what to know
Book through the FishingBooker listing or direct, and book ahead in the winter sailfish season and the summer. Note the Jensen Beach launch if you are set on leaving from Stuart itself, and confirm the trip length and the target so the plan matches the season. The tackle and license are covered, so bring food, drinks, sunscreen, and a cooler for the catch.
How we scored it
Harrison’s Chew scores 8.3: the deepest, most consistent review record in the area on a comfortable, fairly priced catamaran, held just below the top by a smaller boat than the dedicated sailfish sportfishers and a Jensen Beach base rather than Stuart proper. Captain and crew and track record are its strongest factors by a clear margin. See how we scored this boat for the rubric, and the Stuart ranking for where it lands.
