A Day on the Waters of Islamorada: Exploring the Depths with Makaira Fish Company Nestled within the sun-kissed shores of Islamorada lies an adventure waiting to unfold - a day with Makaira Fish Company. Embark on a journey that promises not just the thrill of the catch, but an immersion into the vibrant tapestry of marine life that calls these azure waters home. With each wave that laps against the boat's hull, anticipation surges, for what lies beneath is a world teeming with Mahi, Wahoo, Kingfish, Tuna, Sailfish, Grouper, Snapper, Sharks, and more.


As the sun begins its ascent over the horizon, casting a golden hue upon the endless expanse of sea, you step aboard the 33’ Tournament Sea Hunter center console, a vessel renowned for its prowess in navigating the unpredictable currents of the ocean. Here, amidst the gentle sway of the waves, you are greeted by the seasoned crew of Makaira Fish Company, their passion for angling palpable in the salt-tinged air.

With a nod from the captain, the engines hum to life, propelling the boat away from the harbor and into the boundless realm of the open ocean. It's a journey defined by the rhythmic hum of anticipation, each passing moment a testament


to the infinite possibilities that await beneath the surface. Whether trolling or bottom fishing, the choice is yours, guided by the expertise of the crew who know these waters like the lines etched upon their weathered palms. As the day unfolds, so too does the symphony of the sea. The thrill of a taut line, the adrenaline-fueled chase as a majestic Sailfish breaches the surface, the triumphant reel as a prized Mahi emerges from the depths

We had a great morning with Captain Mike and first mate, Chris. They are both very knowledgeable about the Keys and provided a chill and fun setting for my 12 and 9 year old boys. We really got into some yellow tails and mutton snapper…the boys arms were sore! Thank you guys for a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Captain Mike. His boat is awesome as well! The 33 foot Sea Hunter! Wow!
