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

We tried to stay here and it was booked... but we stopped here on the drive. It was the highlight of the drive! Sharks, tarpon, pelican, great ibis and a manatee!! We just watched the animals for an hour.
Chartered a 1/2 day offshore trip. Captain and mate very professional. Whole operation is top notch. Ordered breakfast the day before and a box lunch to take out on the boat. With the marina located 5 miles from the fishing you get a real bang for your buck. The run out took 15 minutes then we started fishing. Weather was very nice and we caught 7 fish. Unfortunately the 2 black Grouper we managed to get out of their holes are out of season until NEXT week. Saw a sailfish but wasn't interested in the live bait we cast in front of him. I highly recommend Bud n' Mary's. The Stanczyk family run a fantastic business. They take care of the customers at any cost.
Epic bucket list fishing trip! Went fishing on the Broad Minded with Capt Mike Varney. There are no words to describe how excellent the day was!
