About Your Trip

Join Captain Pete on an unforgettable Trolling/Wreck fishing adventure off the shores of Islamorada, Florida! Step aboard his impressive 37-foot Sea Ray Sportfishing vessel, powered by not one but two mighty 350hp Caterpillar motors, guaranteeing a thrilling and smooth ride through the stunning waters of the Florida Keys.

Captain Pete, a seasoned angler with years of experience, will be your guide on this exhilarating charter. Known for his passion and expertise, he knows all the secret spots where the big fish roam. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner, Captain Pete will tailor the trip to your skill level, ensuring a memorable experience for everyone on board.

As you venture into the depths, get ready to battle some of the most prized fish in the area. With the trolling technique, you'll have a chance to target a variety of species such as sailfish, marlin, wahoo, and mahi-mahi. These waters are teeming with life, and you'll be amazed at the sheer power and beauty of the fish you'll encounter.

But the adventure doesn't stop there! Captain Pete will take you to the hidden wrecks scattered beneath the waves, where an entirely different kind of excitement awaits. Prepare for the possibility of reeling in trophy-sized grouper, snapper, and amberjack. The wrecks are home to a rich ecosystem, attracting an impressive array of marine life that will leave you in awe.

Safety is always a top priority, and Captain Pete ensures that his vessel is equipped with the latest navigation and safety equipment. You'll feel confident and comfortable throughout the journey, allowing you to focus on the thrill of the catch.

Whether you're seeking a thrilling fishing excursion, a chance to bond with family and friends, or simply a day of relaxation in the pristine waters of Islamorada, Captain Pete's Trolling/Wreck fishing charter is the perfect choice. Book your trip today and create memories that will last a lifetime. Get ready to experience the thrill of the hunt and the joy of reeling in that trophy fish!

Captain Pete also has a smaller 23' Nautic Star they use for groups of 2 or less. Depending on whether conditions, Captain Pete will offer it as an option for your group after you book to see if you’d prefer it. Fishing from a bay boat offers faster travel time before fishing spots and more mobility (shallower draft) to get to reefs that the bigger boat can’t get to. For groups of 2 you can overall just pack more into your day on the Nautic Star but its always up to you!

About Your Guide

Captain Pete

Certified Damn Good Guide

Independent Guide 31 yrs of exp.

Our very own Captain Pete has been absolutely obsessed with fishing from a very young age. He is from West Monroe, La and has fished both freshwater and saltwater. Over 30 years of fishing and diving experience from south Texas to south Florida. He decided to move his boats to the keys sometime ago and has a passion for fishing and also helping put others on the fish. He loves to joke, have a good time, and make everyone around him happy! At the end of each day his favorite thing to say is that was "the best day ever"! He loves taking customers to snorkel at the local reefs and hangout at the sandbar. At the end of the day there is nothing like experiencing Islamorada's beautiful sunset on one of our sunset cruises. While he loves to entertain, his greatest passion is to see customer's faces light up as they spend the day catching fish!

Pete and his 1st mate, his wife were great. They’re an enjoyable couple. When I booked I understood they had more experience then they actually had. We seemed to wonder a bit till we found the fish.
