Catch 22

The Catch 22 is the flagship of Bud N’ Mary’s fleet. Custom designed by Craig Blackwell, this is the ultimate Sportfisherman! It is a 54′ vessel powered by twin 800HP M.A.N Engines. She is fast and comfortable, with a large cockpit for all the fishing space you will need. The interior is plush with A/C and all the comforts of home. The Catch 22 is captained by Scott Stanczyk. He has a 25 year history at Bud N’ Mary’s, fishing 250 days a year. During this time he has helped many captains who presently operate out of the marina today. Scott has fished and placed in almost every tournament held in Islamorada, and has appeared in numerous TV shows. He has also been subject to many fishing articles by outdoor writers who have fished in Islamorada in the past 1/4 century!

Fabulous Captain and Sportfishing Facility Captain Nick Stanczyk is an absolutely fabulous guide and captain. He knew where to fish which put onto a giant fish very quickly. Then he never took his eyes off the line and kept the boat properly placed for the duration of an 8 hour plus fight. In the end, we landed a record size swordfish of over 757 pounds. As experienced captains ourselves we cannot say enough positive things about Capt. Nick, his boat or and his crew. In addition, Bud n Mary’s knows how to treat fisherman of all levels. The Galley Girls Cafe located at Bud n Mary’s puts together great early am breakfast in plenty of time to make the boat departures and their lunch boxes are excellent as well. If you are looking for great day trips or a trip of a lifetime Capt. Nick Stanczyk and Bud n Mary’s is the place to go.

These guys work hard to put you on the fish and help you catch fish. You are going to catch fish. Good trip for beginners and experts too. At the end of the day they will clean and fillet the fish for you to take home to eat or take to a restaurant and let them cook it up for you. I have been on other boats that were not a good. The gear is all in good working condition and they run a tight ship. I am local and I will be back.
