AI ReviewAI Generated Review Summary

Fishing in Marathon, Florida offers diverse opportunities across inshore waters, offshore depths, and productive reef areas targeting yellowtail snapper, mahi-mahi, mutton snapper, grouper, blackfin tuna, tarpon, sharks, and wahoo. Anglers fish productive spots like Sombrero Reef, the Hump, and the 7 Mile Bridge area, with both reef fishing and deep-sea adventures available.

Our fishing trip with Harmony Charters was an unforgettable experience! My husband, sons (17 and 22), and I caught over 50 fish during our 6-hour adventure. Captain Arthur and his first mate, Roger, were incredible, working tirelessly to ensure we had a great time. We started fishing near the 7 Mile Bridge and then headed out into the Atlantic Ocean. Although I'm not the most experienced fisherman in the family, I had an absolute blast! Huge thanks to Captain Arthur and Roger for making this a day we’ll always remember!

We had an amazing 3/4 day trip and caught plenty of fish! Ben and Alex were incredibly friendly and helpful, and they were fantastic with our two teenage boys. We reeled in tons of yellowtail snapper, a few large mutton snapper, a giant Amberjack, and more! We also hooked a couple of sailfish, though we didn’t land one. The boat was very comfortable, with shaded areas to relax (perfect for my son, who loves taking boat naps) and a functional head, which is always a plus on longer trips. It was a great experience, and we’ll definitely book again on our next trip to Marathon!

We scheduled this trip months ahead of time to celebrate my birthday in Marathon. Unfortunately, weeks of windy weather made it impossible to fish the reef or wrecks. However, Captain Rip worked his magic! We still had a fantastic day, with all three of us—including our nine-year-old son—catching fish. We spent the day fishing near a bridge, where our son acted as First Mate. We ended up landing Mangrove Snapper, Black Grouper, and a few other species. It was a fun time on the water, complete with great conversation! Thanks so much!

Captain Josh was incredible! From the top-notch equipment to the great fishing, it was an unforgettable experience. We hooked into Blackfin Tuna right away at the Hump, and the action continued all afternoon. We landed our final tuna just as it was time to head back in, and the ride home was smooth and relaxing, with some good tunes to set the mood. We’re already planning our next trip with Josh. Thanks for the poke recipe – we were enjoying our fresh catch by sunset. And Go Vols!
