Join Captain Ben and BenOfishal Sportfishing for an unforgettable fishing adventure in the stunning waters of Marathon, Florida. Known for its world-class fishing, Marathon offers a variety of species, including Gag Grouper, Mahi Mahi, Great Barracuda, Cobia, Black Grouper, Red Grouper, Bonito, Amberjack, Bluefish, Goliath Grouper, and Cero Mackerel. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a first-time fisher, Capt. Ben’s expertise and passion for the sport will ensure you have an amazing day on the water.
Captain Ben, a Marathon native, has spent his life on these waters, mastering the art of fishing. With a background in commercial fishing and numerous tournament wins under his belt, Capt. Ben knows what it takes to put together a successful catch. Whether you’re trolling, bottom fishing, spinning, drifting, or even kite fishing, he’ll guide you every step of the way, sharing tips and techniques that only a local expert can provide.
Your journey takes place aboard a 42’ Morgan offshore sport fishing vessel, built for comfort and performance. The boat accommodates up to 6 passengers and is fully equipped with outriggers, rods, reels, tackle, lures, and even live bait (ask if you’ll be catching it yourself!). For your convenience, the vessel is wheelchair accessible and features a clean onboard toilet. Light snacks and drinks are provided, and you’re welcome to bring your own beverages – just avoid glass bottles and hard liquor.
A professional First Mate will be on board to ensure your trip runs smoothly, assisting with everything from baiting hooks to cleaning and filleting your catch. It’s customary to tip the mate 20% for their hard work. The charter also covers your fishing license, so all you need to bring is sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, a hat, and bottled water. With Capt. Ben at the helm, you’ll be in great hands as you set out for a day of excitement and adventure.
Whether you’re chasing Grouper close to the reef, trolling for Mahi Mahi in deeper waters, or targeting Amberjack in the wrecks, you’ll experience the thrill of hearing “Fish on!” as your rod bends under the weight of your catch. Along the way, Capt. Ben will share his knowledge of local fishing regulations, ensuring you stay within the rules while enjoying the bounty of Marathon’s waters.
