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.

Great experience Mike & Matthew were great. Couldn’t ask for a better trip. Running out on a 42’ freeman was nothing but the best. We caught tons of fish and will be back again.
Captain John was an incredible guide!! My husband and I are experienced boaters, he ( husband) an experienced angler. Within the 1st few mins. of meeting Captn John we knew we were in trusting & experienced hands. John took his time with me ( not experienced angler) & taught me step by step & within mins it was “ fish on!”. He sought out the good spots to catch fish, and catch we did! John is a very 
Great Trip with Max Gaspeny Max took our 3 sons (24, 14, and 12) out today while my wife and I went with another guide. It was the younger two’s first time with a guide and first time on salt water. Max asked them what they wanted to do and the boys answered you do this for a living so you make the call. The first spot they went they caught 50 plus fish of 11 different species and the boys had a blast. Then Max asked if they wanted to try for some Tarpon he spotted the night before. They said sure. They hooked 8, boated three a couple smaller and one Max thought was around 50 pounds. Needless to say they came back to the dock on cloud 9. Today wasn’t a great fishing day either as my wife and I landed one Jack-our only other bite was a hammerhead. On top of that Max was just so good with the boys. They all came back telling me about the stories they heard and what a great time they had. He was super patient with the little guys and shared some very kind words about them when the got back in. I really can’t speak highly enough about the experience he gave my kids today. Thank you Max.
