  Crystal clear waters, tropical reefs, beautiful weather, and incredible fishing: the Florida Keys have all the ingredients for a thrilling and memorable fishing trip. Let Fishing Kings show you these productive waters as you head offshore for some exciting sport fishing.

  Captains Steve and Izaak have been passionate fishermen their whole lives. Having fished from coast to coast, they settled on Marathon to set up their business and they look forward to sharing their passion with you.

  "Crazy Lady" is our 29' SeaVee she's the perfect vessel for us here in the beautiful Florida Keys. Strong and sturdy, she’ll keep you afloat against the biggest waves offshore, and she contains plenty of seating for your whole group, she’s fully fitted for a productive day on the water. She has a large livewell to keep your live bait fresh, and two large coolers to separate drinks and fish. She is equipped with top of the line Garmin electronics and Penn and Shimano rods and reels, She has everything you need for a fun and safe day on the water!
 
  Hit the nearshore reefs and wrecks for the chance to catch some dazzling fish. Bottom fish as you go after Yellowtail, Mangrove, and Mutton Snapper, along with Grouper, King Mackerel, Cero Mackerel, and many more. Or charge offshore chasing after Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Blackfin Tuna, and Wahoo! Most of our fishing varies based on the season so the best way to insure a fun and successful trip is to talk to your captain about the best targets based on the time of year
 
  At the end of your trip, your captain will clean and fillet your catch, so you’re ready to cook it up right away. Bring some drinks and snacks aboard and make the most of your time with Fishing Kings.

  Captains Steve and Izaak will do anything to make your trip as personal as possible, so get in touch and tell your captain your dream catch!

  Come and experience these pristine waters!

Half Day Reef Trip (AM) on April 11, 2025

Isaac was great! He was helpful in adjusting our trip due to windy days and it ended up working out fantastic. My wife, three daughters and I had a great time and caught a lot of fish. Captain Isaac was patient with us and helped everyone get comfortable with the rods and presentation and then let each of us do our thing. He was just as excited as we were to catch a variety of fish including plenty of keeper yellowtail/mackerel and coached my daughter to bring a huge nurse shark in to the side of the boat. On the way back to the dock he took a few extra minutes to linger when we spotted a pod of dolphins. He seems to truly enjoy what he’s doing and sharing the time on the boat with you. Really enjoyed our time and highly recommend booking a trip with him!

Yellow Tail Fishing Trip Fishing Kings

VERIFIED

Half Day Reef Trip (PM) on February 17, 2025

Captain Izaak has a nice boat with tackle and bait provided. A 4 hour trip to the reef and back landed us 18 yellow tails and 2 parrot fish. The fish were biting the entire time thanks to a steady supply of chum, good bait and excellent instruction by Izaak. My 12 year old won the day on the individual catch totals. Will charter with him again when we return. We took Izaak's advice and went to a local restaurant that cooked some of our fresh catch for dinner.

3/4 Day Reef/Wreck Trip on December 31, 2024

Captain Issac did a fabulous job getting us on the fish right from the start. He was super patient and took his time to explain the best techniques to help us be successful on our own. We changed fishing styles several times throughout the day as we would mark off different species. His knowledge of the fishery is obvious and his willingness to share information about the area made the trip more than just catching fish. Issac may not have the brand new fancy boat that some of the others do but you won’t find a guy that is more enjoyable to fish with. If you just want to flat out catch fish he is your guy. We will definitely be back. Thanks for the great trip John

Half Day Reef Trip (PM) on March 12, 2025

Izaak was a fantastic captain under probably tough fishing situation. He put us on fish early and worked hard when those holes weren’t biting. We had a great afternoon and our boys caught a few YT (just fried them…delicious). Captain Izaak is a great hang and knows what he is doing. As a bonus, he had a good music playlist and made great suggestion for nearby dining. Will use him again when we come back.

Took our 17yr old twins out for some fishing. Took 3 spots, but Isaac put us on the fish. One after another - got enough snapper for cook your own catch dinner and some others too! My son will never forget this day and his goliath :) Thank you, Isaac for a great afternoon! So friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Captain Steve and Captain Izaak have been fishing their whole lives, and always enjoy a day on the water. Having fished both coasts and every pond, river, and stream they've come across they both ended up in the Keys. They've found home
