For anglers who crave a real challenge, Captain Todd Malicoat specializes in shark and tarpon fishing. If you’ve ever wondered what fish are biting in Key West, you’ll be thrilled to know tarpon and blacktip sharks are frequent stars of the show. These powerful fish aren’t just fun to catch — they put up a fight that makes for unforgettable action on the water. Captain Todd’s expertise ensures you’re always in the right place at the right time.


Captain Todd isn’t just a guide — he’s a USCG-licensed OUPV captain with decades of experience fishing Florida’s coastal waters. He’s known for reading the tides, picking the right bait, and keeping the energy light and upbeat. You won’t find a captain more dedicated to helping you get hooked into something big, whether it’s your first cast or your fiftieth.


Your trip will be aboard the Nana III, a 16-foot Maverick Mirage motorboat powered by a 70HP engine. This sleek and agile boat is perfect for navigating the flats and shallows where tarpon and sharks like to lurk. With a top cruising speed of 35 knots, you’ll get to the action quickly — and enjoy every second of it. The boat is equipped for two passengers, making it perfect for couples, parent-child trips, or close friends.


All necessary fishing gear and fishing licenses are included in your trip. Just bring the basics: a hat, sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and weather-appropriate clothing. Don’t forget food and drinks to keep your energy up while you’re reeling in that next big catch. Whether you're experienced or brand new, we’ve got everything set up so you can focus on the fun.

Refit '95 Maverick Mirage with a 2020 Yamaha 70. The boat has been meticulously rebuilt, and great for push poling skinny water, or chasing big tarpon. This rig is built to fish and fight large fish from a little boat. Floats in 8" of water, and is a stealth flats fish finder.
