5 star ratingMy boyfriend and I went on an all day fishing trip on the Early Bird with Captain Ross and Justin. We had a fantastic time! Water was a little choppy but Captain Ross made it feel like it was calm. Justin kicked ass at setting us up to catch fish, very quick and efficient! They knew were the spots were! Very friendly and fun. On the ride back to the doc, we both fell asleep. What a great day! Thank you to Bud and Mary and Ross and Justin for making a great memory for us!

5 star ratingAwesome Fishing Trips Our family enjoyed two half day fishing trips in March 2019, while on vacation in The Keys. Both our Captains were exceptional and we highly recommended them! The trips were out of Bud n’ Mary’s Marina. One trip booked through the captain ahead of time and one booked through the marina the day before. The first trip was with Captain Mike Walter, in search of a big tarpon to fulfill our daughter Chelsea’s Bucket List. Captain Mike immediately put us on the tarpon and Chelsea was thrilled with the fight of her 80 pounder. The second trip with Captain Dave Peck was for a variety of different species and we caught a lot of fish, which we enjoyed. But the last fish of the day was the highlight and we will remember it as “The Fish of a Lifetime” a 250 lb Goliath Grouper! It truly was an Amazing Experience! More

5 star ratingThe accommodations at Bud N' Mary's exceeded all my expectations! The staff was friendly and very helpful with any questions or request for assistance. I stayed at the marina on the "Lucky Lady" houseboat and couldn't have been more satisfied. Fully equipped, clean and comfortable accommodations with a deck overlooking the ocean. I took advantage of their boat rental service and enjoyed a few days fishing in the back water. I look forward to a return trip for Tarpon season and will definitely stay @ the "Lucky Lady" again . . . Highly recommend
