You can cancel at no cost if you do so at least 14 days prior to your scheduled trip, and the amount will be credited back to your account. If you cancel within 14 days of the trip, your deposit will be retained by the guide. Cancellations made on the day of the trip or failure to show up will result in a charge of the full trip amount to your payment method.
We provide all rods, reels, and tackle for your convenience. However, we suggest you also bring sunglasses, sunscreen, clothing suitable for the weather, and any personal gear you'd like to use during the trip.
Experience the ultimate Florida Keys adventure with this full-day offshore fishing trip departing from Marathon. Perfect for families or groups of up to six anglers, this 8-hour excursion combines thrilling fishing action with breathtaking ocean views, all guided by seasoned experts dedicated to making your day unforgettable.
Your journey begins at 8:00 AM as you venture into the deep Atlantic waters, ranging from 100 to 250 feet in depth. Take advantage of prime fishing spots near the Florida Keys Great Barrier Reef and a variety of offshore wrecks, where the catch comes consistently. Depending on the season and current conditions, you may target species such as Mutton Snapper, Amberjack, African Pompano, Grouper, Wahoo, Sailfish, and even Sharks. The captain will tailor the fishing techniques—trolling, drifting, or bottom fishing—to maximize your chances of a successful catch.
Fishing will be done with the best bait suited for the day’s conditions, including live, dead, or artificial options. When live bait is required, the captain may pause at the start of the trip to gather fresh bait, ensuring it is lively and enticing. This process can take up to 30 minutes or longer on challenging days, but it greatly enhances your fishing experience.
This trip goes beyond catch-and-release—you are encouraged to keep your legal catch as regulated by the Florida Wildlife Commission. The crew will clean most fish species at the dock, except for potentially dangerous ones like lionfish.
All necessary licenses, tackle, and bait are included, with compliance to local and federal fishing regulations guaranteed. Just bring your personal comfort items: sunscreen, snacks, beverages, a hat, a long-sleeved shirt, and non-slip footwear. Life jackets are provided for adults, but if children are on board, please bring properly fitted life jackets for each child.
From the thrill of spotting Sailfish leaping to the powerful fight of an Amberjack, this trip promises a memorable offshore fishing experience with a warm, family-oriented crew who treat every guest like part of their own family. Discover firsthand why fishing is a passion that runs deep here in the Florida Keys.
