This marina is great! Came with a few friends for MDW and within 5 minutes on the phone, we had a boat locked down. It was super easy and the boat was new and in great shape! Perfect for the sandbar adventures that we had planned. The whole team is very helpful and pretty funny as well. Couldnt have asked for an easier situation.We will 100% be using this marina to rent our boats every year!!

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.
