Captain Juan invites you to the beautiful fishing grounds of Islamorada. With the third largest coral reef system in the world, Islamorada boasts a great variety of fishing opportunities.

Beats Land Charters are proud to offer anglers many different techniques of fishing on their Ranger bay boat. Restored in 2017 and powered by 250 HP Yamaha engine, this beauty will have you on the fish in no time, reaching speeds of 45 knots. You'll be grateful for the speed, as this will allow you, on the longer trips especially, the ability to fish multiple grounds in one day.

You could go from reef fishing to backcountry to offshore. The possibilities are endless, with the species of fish you can target huge. You need only let Capt. Juan know what you want to target, and, weather permitting, he will make your fishing dreams come true. You can go from targeting Snapper, Grouper, Mackerel and Sailfish on the reef, to Redfish, Snook, Speckled Seatrout and Tarpon in the backcountry. Both reef and backcountry fishing are perfect for anglers of all levels of experience.

When the winds are light, his bay boat can even go offshore, for a completely different fishing experience. Unlike the big sport boats, his bay boat will be closer to the water and won't have that diesel smell. You'll have the opportunity to fish Mahi Mahi, Tuna and Wahoo, to name a few!

All you need to bring are snacks and any other drinks you fancy. It is customary to give a 20% tip to the captain at the end of your trip, which is not included in the price. Capt. Juan hopes to show you why being out on the water always Beats Land!

3/4 Day Trip on August 5, 20202 adults1 child

Captain Juan did it again. Made my son put down the iPhone for at least half the day. My son caught 5 sharks which was the highlight of his trip and me and my bride caught enough snapper and trout to feed us for an entire weekend. If your looking for a consummate professional, with a keen attention to detail and one who knows how to make kids happy (catching Sharks or whatever they fancy) than Captain Juan is your guy. Thank you again captain and looking forward to the tarpon trip in April!!! Ryan, Ashley and Nick
