I used Bud N Marry's marina to get on the Miss Islamorada Charter to do some reef fishing recently. It was a rainy day when we got there. I was excited we were still going to departure and be all day out. The rain shortly stopped. The ocean was calm and the fish were rambunctious. Captain Ben was true gentleman, so courteous, so nice and extremely caring. He was making sure that everyone hooked at least one good sized fish for dinner. Even though he is the captain he worked his tail off, even making bait ball for those of us in the back of the boat catching snappers.He took us to a great spot, even encountered some bull sharks.
Bring your own drinks and snack, none of it its provided for you. You will have great fun and you will go home with a bucket or cooler of fish. They provided an array of bait and they will help you every step of the way. The bait doesn't promise that you will catch fish but at least they will die trying for you. Great experience, gorgeous day to be out, turquoise waters and alligator reef beautiful as always. Nice boat, stable and smooth ride to the reef and back.

Nate is awesome Captain …. Super Experience We had an amazing fishing trip this morning with Nate Blackburn ..post hurricane / rainy conditions could have made for a miserable fishing trip . Nate went above and beyond to make it the best experience ever !! Made sure we went to plenty of different spots to achieve our “ dinner “ goal which we did ! Our limit of snapper ! And I also caught Tarpon and Goliath Grouper ( both catch and release , protected species ) .. Great conversations . Great Boat Ride . thank you so much Nate , we had an awesome experience .. Highly Recommend!

Great fishing for the kiddos Great half day reef trip this morning.
Two boys 6 and 7. Wanted a fun day with plenty of action and a good crew. Found everything we were looking for!!! Captain is a family man, and extremely nice. First mate could not have been better with the kids.
Not the best of water conditions but the A/c cabin was perfect for my green faced wife and the boys when they needed a rest
We fish a lot and can tell you that a great Capt and crew can make or break ur day
