... Read More of 2 or less. Depending on weather 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
Certified Damn Good Guide
30 Years of Experience
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
... Read More 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!” His friends often joked about the saying, but it stuck which led him to name his charter company exactly that! 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!
