The Sailfish Houseboat is a classic house boat completely remodeled in 2014. It sits with an Ocean View on the outside dock of Bud n’ Mary’s marina. The boat is secured to the dock and doesn’t leave. There is NO cooking on this boat. We also do not allow children under 15 to stay on the houseboats.
The Sailfish houseboat has one bedroom with two full size beds, a bathroom with shower, a futon, Satellite TV, A/C, a mini fridge and a microwave. If you want to experience Islamorada in true Key’s fashion, try the Sailfish House boat! Wake up on the water as you watch the sunrise over the Atlantic ocean! We have a minimum of a 2 night stay on the Sailfish Houseboat.

Awesome day swordfishing!!! Fished with captain Mike varney and first mate Lee on Tuesday Oct 22 on nicks 42 freeman “Broadminded”! Specifically targeted swordfish and what an epic day!! Despite the rough seas we were able to land 2 and release one. Captain and first mate worked well together to give us a great experience and memorable day! Will definitely re book and highly recommend!!
I'm still going to give Bud & Mary's party boat five stars because I love the marina, the captain and the party boat itself 100% but for the first time in 7 to 8 years that I have been going on this boat I was a little disappointed with the crew. Ive never felt like they played favorites until yesterday. There was a particular customer that is also a regular and he and his family we're treated like royalty and others not so much. One of the other guest from out of town and I had a long conversation about it. It was definitely clear to all the other guest as well. I won't stop going on that boat because as I said I really like captain and love Bud n Mary's. My son worked in the service industry for years so I believe in tipping but I'll tip according to the way I'm treated as well.
This is my third trip on this full day party boat fishing trip. Had a great time and the entire boat caught lots of yellowtail, snapper and other bottom fish. I love the fact that the mates are there to help you in every aspect of the fishing trip. I highly recommend this boat. Also, please note you must bring your own cooler with water, sodas, beer ( no hard liquor allowed), food & snacks as they are not sold or provided on the boat.
