LOBSTER CHARTERS!

(SORRY NO MINI SEASON DAYS AVAILABLE)

With Capt. Sara Stanczyk on the 25 foot Shallow Sport X3

Email Sara to book a charter at floridakeysecotour@gmail.com 

$1200 for a 4 hour trip for up to 4 passengers

Gloves, nets, lobster license included.  You must bring your own snorkel gear that fits correctly and is comfortable. 

August is the best month to catch lobster but we still do a few trips into September it just starts to slow down some then.  You must be comfortable snorkeling and holding your breath to dive down 10-15 feet deep on average to catch them.  This is not a good activity for small children or people who have never snorkeled before.

STONE CRAB CHARTERS

With Capt. Sara Stanczyk on the 25′ Shallow Sport X3

Email Sara at floridakeysecotour@gmail.com to book a charter

$700 for a 2-3 hour charters depending on weather conditions to go pull the traps, up to 4 people.

Stone crab season is October 15th through May 1st every year.  Learn how to pull and bait crab traps and harvest stone crab claws.  You get to keep the claws to eat!   This is a fun trip for kids and families, very hands on and messy with the fish scraps we use to bait the traps.

Fishing Reports

5 star ratingSuccessful day of fishing We went on the party boat at Bud N Mary’s and had a great day of fishing. Caught lots of fish- mangrove snapper, yellowtail snapper, mutton, porgy, strawberry grouper. And one of my sons caught a shark so he was super excited about that! The captain and deck hands are all very helpful and friendly. Always right there to assist you when you need them.

5 star ratingWe booked a trip with Captain Tyler Valles to fish the flats and backcountry. Captain Tyler was very accommodating, extremely knowledgeable, and motivated to provide everything we wanted to experience. His experience and professionalism made this an outstanding trip that we will definitely book again the next time we are in the Keys.

5 star ratingThis review is for Bud and Mary's 'Miss Islamorada' 'headboat' party fishing charter. My son and I were out in the Keys for a few days of
fishing looking to do some deep sea fishing. Bud and Mary's was recommended by several people. Called up - folks were super friendly
on the phone and booked my son and I for $70 each including licenses, tackle, and bait (great price!). Went out with them and about 20 others on the Miss Islamorada the following day and had a great day fishing. We rolled out of the harbor around 9:30 and got back in around 3:30. Stopped at around 8 spots throughout that time. Everyone on board caught fish and had a great time. Hats off to the Captain (Don't know his
name ) and especially deckhands Jude and Tyler - who ran around the entire 6 hours chumming, taking fish off hooks, baiting peoples lines, untangling lines...you name it. If you go out - tip these guys well after
