awesome capt. very knowledgeable! i personally own a charter company in key west and captain two of my boats personally. i may be the last person you'd want to take on a charter
Stayed on the Mama Linda houseboat at Bud n Mary's in Islamorada. It was a great time, waking up to fantastic views and enjoying it all over again in the afternoon
This is the second time in the last month I have written rented a boat from Bud N Mary’s. Timi specifically helped me on both occasions and bc of her our trip was an absolute success and I can’t thank them enough

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.
Captain Dylan Bryant and DH Craiger are fish catching studs. Aggressive pros who slam them. Mahi and yellow tail snapper fishing was freaking awesome! This is the Captain and deckhand you want. Do what Captain Dylan tells you and bring home some tasty fish. Great fun trip!!!
The Bud N Mary's Party boat fishing charter was everything we hoped it would be. After looking through many of the fishing charters available in the keys, and many times gasping at the prices, we decided on Bud N Mary's Party Boat. The location was easy to find and crew and captain was super helpful and friendly. All of the bait, license and poles were provided. Hooks were baited by crew if needed and fish taken off of the hook if needed. We boarded at 9:30 and away we went to several locations throughout the Atlantic Ocean. The one thing I noticed is several of the high dollar fishing charters were in close proximity to our fishing locations at each spot we visited. Sometimes we were first and sometimes not. We caught a slew of fish from The common Grunt to several very nice Yellowtail Snapper. Others caught Amberjack, Grouper,Snappers, Mahi Mahi and King Mackerel. Fish were biting all day and we visited multiple spots offering an array of fishing styles from Bottom fishing off the back trolling for the big ones. By 4:30 we were worn out.
