Great, fun experience. Highly recommend Took my two sons (17 and 21 years) and my brother there. We stayed in the Ocean Front House and went deep sea fishing for one day and backcountry fishing for one day. We had a great time. It was a great experience. It was kind of slow days for fishing but we caught fish and had a fun time. The boat captains did everything they could to put us on the fish
The Ocean Front house we stayed in was simple and clean. And about 20 yards from where we stepped on the boat. That is super convenient so you could sleep longer in the morning without having to drive a ways to get to the boat and you could get to your room for a nap after a long day of fishing.
Despite not getting the catch of a lifetime we hoped for, it was still a great experience and everyone had a great time. All the captains, mates, staff, and anyone else involved in the operations there were friendly and helpful. I will come back again 100%! Even once we catch the fish of a lifetime, we will keep coming back.

Epic bucket list fishing trip! Went fishing on the Broad Minded with Capt Mike Varney. There are no words to describe how excellent the day was!

2 keeper swords
3 dolphin
2 queen snapper
Several small, but tasty, tuna
And a couple of good smokers

Capt Mike is fantastic- he knows the fishing spots, and he’s very pleasant. All you have to do is listen to him and follow instructions and you will have an amazing day.

We were targeting Swords and made sure that we booked the trip on the appropriate days for prime swordfishing. If your target is a swordfish, please do your homework.

Highly highly recommend this boat and this Capt.!

Party boat fishing at its best! I decided to go fishing on the Bud and Marys Islamorada party boat! I had a great time and caught my limit of snapper! This was only $110.0 and I caught as many fish as I would spending $1000.0 and I met a lot of very nice folks from around the country! The captain was top notch and they have a very fair system of rotating folks around to the good spots.to fish. I highly recommend this boat and Captain!
