The Aqua Lodge is the newest addition to our houseboat accommodations at Bud n’ Mary’s. It was outfitted in February 2016 and is ready for rental! The boat has a master bedroom with a full size bed and TV, another full size bed is mid ship with 3 walls around it (it’s open on the hallway side), there’s a bathroom with a walk in shower, and in the the living room there’s a tv, couch, and a small dinette area with a table for 2. The Aqua Lodge Houseboat is docked on the inside sections of where our other houseboats are and has a patio area overlooking the marina basin. You’ll see our pet tarpon swimming as you relax on your fishing vacation and enjoy the charter boats returning to their slips at the end of the day. We do not allow cooking on the aqua lodge or any of our other houseboats! We also do not allow children under 15 to stay on the houseboats. There is a fridge and microwave in the kitchenette area. Give the marina office a call at 305-664-2461to book your stay on the Aqua Lodge!
Deposits for staying on the Aqua Lodge are non-refundable.

If you want a lot of fish, this is the place! We have been on 3 fishing trips during our vacation here in the Keys, all at different times of the day and night and on different boats. Our most recent was on the Miss Islamorada and it was by far the best trip of all. We caught way more fish, which was due 100% to the mates help and professionalism in providing a wide variety of baits and techniques and it really paid off. There are other good trips you could take if you want to pay up to 10x as much money but for an all day fun adventure this is the best! We will be back asap.
I wish I could give more stars! This was my first fishing trip here, and it was amazing! The Captain and Crew were truly knowledgable, friendly and helpful. I WILL book again! Paul Browne
Successful day of fishing We went on the party boat at Bud N Mary’s and had a great day of fishing. Caught lots of fish- mangrove snapper, yellowtail snapper, mutton, porgy, strawberry grouper. And one of my sons caught a shark so he was super excited about that! The captain and deck hands are all very helpful and friendly. Always right there to assist you when you need them.
