The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip. You’ll be fishing inshore, targeting species like Spanish Mackerel, Barracuda, Mangrove Snapper, Grunter, Shark, and more.

Ratings & Reviews Summary
July 5, 2025
Captain Shad guided us to Sombrero Reef where we landed six yellowtail snappers on a sunny day with calm currents. He offered expert advice to refine our fishing techniques and adjusted our location using various rods suited for different depths and fish species. Despite the slow bite, Captain Shad ensured our catch was cleaned and filleted. Following his recommendation, we enjoyed our freshly cooked fish at a local restaurant prepared in multiple delectable styles. Captain Shad’s punctuality, amiability, expertise, and dedication left a lasting impression—we look forward to another outing with him!

Our fishing excursion was incredibly enjoyable. Captain and crew member Garret were exceptionally friendly and well-informed about the local fish and surroundings, patiently answering our numerous questions. My 10-year-old had a fantastic time catching fish, and we were mesmerized by the abundance of fish swimming around the boat. The onboard bathroom was convenient, and the coolers with ice kept our drinks cold throughout the trip. I highly recommend this experience for everyone, particularly families with children who might appreciate some assistance in catching fish.

We had an incredible morning on our 4-hour calm water charter. Captain Shad and Mate Garrett were exceptional! Their expertise and enthusiasm made the trip both educational and enjoyable. We caught numerous Yellowtail Snapper, and half of them made for a delicious dinner tonight! I am already looking forward to booking another charter with them!

We thoroughly enjoyed our fishing trip to the reefs off Marathon. The journey to the fishing spots was brief, and we had steady catches throughout, despite it being an afternoon charter. We returned with enough fillets for several meals, along with wonderful memories shared with our captain and mate, who now feel like lifelong friends. It was a truly relaxing and enjoyable fishing excursion.

Captain Shad was exceptional! He provided the perfect outing to ignite my young daughters' passion for fishing. He positioned us perfectly to teach my girls how to fish, ensuring plenty of action to keep them engaged. The water slide was also a huge hit! A definite 10/10 experience—we'll definitely book again.

The fishing, swimming, and touring cruise offered the perfect blend of activities for our family. Cruising through Florida Bay was smooth sailing, ensuring no concerns about seasickness. Captain Mike guided us to abundant snapper and other exciting catches for my sons. After an enjoyable fishing session, we moved to a swimming spot, where the whole family loved using the slide into the water. We even had the pleasure of spotting dolphins swimming nearby. It was a fantastic 3-hour tour for us all.
