Ron Varona aboard his classic,  restored Sea Vee, the Green Eyed Girl. With over 30 years of experience fishing the upper Keys, Capt. Ron will share his knowledge and passion for fishing, with you and your family.

You’ll also be able to try your hand at a wide variety of fishing techniques, including kite fishing – if the weather allows for it.

The things you should pack for the trip are food, drinks, a cooler for your catch, sunscreen, and sunglasses. If you have this short checklist taken care of, take a look at the captain’s calendar, find an opening that works for you and meet Green Eyed Girl Charters on the water!

Born and raised in South Florida, the fishing bug struck Capt. Ron at a very early age. His family spent summers and weekends fishing and boating in the upper Keys and that’s where his obsession grew. While in college he began mating on private and local charter boats in the Miami area. His travels took him to the Bahamas, Hawaii, and Costa Rica. After achieving his goal of a career in the fire service, he still craved to be on the water as much as he could. In 2003 he started Green Eyed Girl Charters, and began a journey of making life long friends and memories in the Florida Keys.
