The team operates a diverse fleet designed to cover just about any kind of day you could want in Islamorada. Their two large Hatteras sportfishers provide the range and comfort for serious offshore fishing, including overnight Swordfish adventures, while their 25' bay boat gives families and light-tackle anglers access to productive nearshore reefs and calmer waters. For groups that simply want to enjoy the Keys, their 23' tritoon offers a comfortable platform for private sunset cruises.
This is also a family-run and veteran-owned operation with a story that goes well beyond fishing. The fleet was built in tribute to Brian and co-owner David's father, and David, a retired U.S. Air Force veteran, now handles much of the logistics behind the scenes.
Whether you're bringing the kids out for their first fishing trip, chasing pelagics offshore, hunting a Swordfish through the night, or simply watching the sun disappear over Florida Bay, Brian and his crew will work to build the experience around your group.
