4 star ratingA Great Place for Anglers A great spot for anglers. We fished for five days and, with one exception, the guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The offshore boats were serviceable, if not spotless, and the skiffs were all very nice. We stayed right at the marina in dated but clean rooms, and there's a great restaurant (Lazy Daze) next door (but the on-site cafe is poor). Everything is on island time so don't expect efficiency, but that's part of the charm. We would absolutely come again.

5 star ratingNate 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!

5 star ratingBest head boat. They used shrimp and mixed there own chum. I limited out on Yellow Tail Snapper in about 1 hr flatlining off the back and fished the trip bottom fishing (very slow) but the best charter in the Keys that I found (I went on both in Islamorada and both in Marathon).
