5 star ratingMy Husband & I were on Miss Islamorada for our 20th Wedding Anniversary on January 27th, 2021, it was SO Beautiful out and we had the most Amazing Full Day of Fishing! We had the Best experience and So much fun, we caught So many different types of fish. Ray was so helpful and knowledgeable, he took his time before we went into the deep water to show me how to use the reel and basically show me how to fish myself and not bother my husband so much.. I haven't been fishing in years. I highly recommend Miss Isalmorada and definitley hope to see Ray again, we will be definitely back. They provided everything needed to fish, just get there and bring some food and drinks.

5 star ratingI was there on a 2 day backcountry fishing trip with my 18 year old son. We had Capt John Johansen the first day and captain Ted Wilson the second day. We caught a tarpon and quite a few sharks. We had a most pleasurable trip and hope to do it again soon. Captain John and Captain Ted thank you for a great time on the water. You represent Bud and Mary's very well. I hope to see you guys soon!
