Captain Dylan and his team invite you to experience the incredible variety of fishing that makes Islamorada one of the most celebrated destinations in the Florida Keys. Alongside Dylan, the team includes Captains Travis and Peter, experienced inshore captains who help cover the backcountry, flats, and surrounding waters of Islamorada.
These guys spend their time fishing the local waters and understand that a successful day starts with being flexible. Tides, currents, bait movement, water color, weather, and the season all play a role in determining where they'll fish and what they'll target. Instead of sticking to the same routine every day, the crew builds each trip around what's happening on the water.
Their trips cover everything from shallow backcountry and Florida Bay fishing to reef fishing and offshore runs into blue water. Depending on the adventure you choose, you might find yourself casting around mangroves for Snook and Tarpon, working the flats for Redfish and Trout, dropping baits over a productive reef for Snapper and Grouper, or heading offshore in search of Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Sailfish, and Wahoo.

The fleet gives Dylan, Travis, and Peter plenty of flexibility. Their 26' Pathfinder is a versatile hybrid bay boat capable of working shallow backcountry water or heading offshore, while the 39' Contender provides the speed, space, and offshore capability needed for serious reef and deep-sea fishing.
Most importantly, Dylan and the crew want the experience to fit the anglers onboard. Whether you're an experienced fisherman looking to chase a specific species, bringing the family out for a fun day, or wetting a line in the Florida Keys for the first time, they'll work to make your time on the water comfortable, engaging, and memorable.
