We fished other party boats in the past and had a good time but never the service we had on the Miss Islamorada. Jude , Logan and Josh were great. I couldn't ask for more. Captain Andrew put us on fish every day. While some days fished better than others we never went home empty handed. I highly recommend the party boat experience on the Miss Islamorada.

Review for "Miss Islamorada" fishing charter: Captain and the mates worked very hard to put us on fish. Moved around a few times. Full charter and everyone had a chance to fish in the back for yellowtail- played no favorites. They may have read prior reviews; they worked really hard to make sure everyone was happy. Would definitely go again.

Best in the keys. Great location great ppl. Real family feel around here. The cafe Saylor Ashton’s has the best food to take out in the boat. And their cook the catch was top notch.
