This is an awesome Marina to fish out of. Lots of charter boats available with a restaurant that opens early for breakfast and will pack you a lunch to take on your trip. Ample fishing gear and bait with a awesome atmosphere. If you're looking to fish out of a great Marina you cannot go wrong with Bud and Mary's

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.!

This review is for Bud and Mary's 'Miss Islamorada' 'headboat' party fishing charter. My son and I were out in the Keys for a few days of fishing looking to do some deep sea fishing. Bud and Mary's was recommended by several people. Called up - folks were super friendly on the phone and booked my son and I for $70 each including licenses, tackle, and bait (great price!). Went out with them and about 20 others on the Miss Islamorada the following day and had a great day fishing. We rolled out of the harbor around 9:30 and got back in around 3:30. Stopped at around 8 spots throughout that time. Everyone on board caught fish and had a great time. Hats off to the Captain (Don't know his name ) and especially deckhands Jude and Tyler - who ran around the entire 6 hours chumming, taking fish off hooks, baiting peoples lines, untangling lines...you name it. If you go out - tip these guys well after
