Hop on board with Captain George to explore the beautiful waters of the Florida Keys! Captain George launches his boat from Layton Key, just south of Robbies Marina. The nearshore waters in this area are a great spot to catch some of the sought-after gamefish that Florida is known for—without going too far from the dock.

About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain George to explore the beautiful waters of the Florida Keys! Captain George launches his boat from Layton Key, just south of Robbies Marina. The nearshore waters in this area are a great spot to catch some of the sought-after gamefish that Florida is known for—without going too far from the dock. Venture a little farther out into the offshore waters, and you might be rewarded with some prized big game fish.

On any trip with Captain George, you can expect to target a selection of fish including Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, Mutton Snapper, Sailfish, and Yellowtail Snapper. You'll be using a variety of techniques such as live bait, artificial lures, bottom fishing and trolling. Just let Captain George know what you want to catch and he'll get you set up with the best method to get one on your line!

You'll be fishing aboard 27' Blackfin that was designed to attack these nearshore and offshore waters with a vengeance! This do-it-all vessel comes with all the necessities including GPS, Fishfinder, a Live Bait Well, Outriggers, and an Ice Box to store your catches.

George will provide all the rods, reels, and licenses, to cooler space, ice, and waters, so all you need to bring are your favorite snacks and drinks, weather appropriate gear, and a camera to document your catch! Whether you'd like to sit back and wait for the reel to start screaming, or if you want a rod in your hand the whole time, Captain George is there to make sure you catch a pile of fish and have the best possible time doing it!

Captain George is one of those Captains that just has the bug. Captain George may be young, but he's is full of that firey passion that all the best guides have. It's everything about the Florida keys estuary for him. From the beautiful grass flats littering the lower keys, to the mangrove biome North at Flamingo, to the offshore waters just south in the Atlantic. There is no better place to grow up for an avid fisherman like himself. Captain George has two boats a 16' technical poling skiff for maneuvering the flats and everglades, and a 27' center console for exploring the deep water. Head out with him for a great time out on the water!

George was great. Incredibly knowledgeable, charming, and patient. He was prepared to fish for all kinds of fish of different size and environs. We hooked a couple sharks, barracudas, yellowtail snappers, and a Goliath grouper. Great fun and we feel like we made a friend.
