5 star ratingCaptain Bill Bassett at Bud and Mary’s My husband and I are boat owners and fish out of OCNJ for the past 30+ years. We came to Islamorada to fish a full day back country through the Everglades for a new experience; catch some fish new to us and see some cool wildlife. Friends referred us to Bud and Mary’s and after chatting with us for a bit, Chrissy paired us with Capt Bill Bassett saying that it would be a great fit, and she was right. Capt Bill is a master of his craft, knows where to fish, how to catch and cater to his clients. We caught snook, bonefish, sea trout, a bunch of jacks and saw some crocs 😀. He’s also an entertaining conversationalist, the 8 hour trip passed in a blink. What a fantastic experience, thanks so much Captain Bill and Bud & Mary’s Marina!

5 star ratingGreat fishing for the kiddos Great half day reef trip this morning.

Two boys 6 and 7. Wanted a fun day with plenty of action and a good crew. Found everything we were looking for!!!
Captain is a family man, and extremely nice. First mate could not have been better with the kids.

Not the best of water conditions but the A/c cabin was perfect for my green faced wife and the boys when they needed a rest

We fish a lot and can tell you that a great Capt and crew can make or break ur day

Today was a great day.

I’d recommend this crew!

5 star ratingWe came for breakfast. Had a breakfast burrito and a breakfast croissant. Very tasty. With our coffee. They brought warm milk! And then we got to watch them feed the pelicans and the other birds. Chaos. Delightful chaos. This is worth a stop at Bud and Mary's fishing. Marina to catch this site in the morning and have a great breakfast
