Adventure awaits with Prime Time Charters Islamorada! With beautiful reefs, productive backcountry, and the Everglades National Park all easily accessible, there’s no telling how many fish you can catch. Head out with Captain Shawn MacMullin, a second-generation captain who’s always ready for memorable fishing experiences.

We are located in Islamorada, Florida Keys, at the Islamorada Yacht Basin in slips 22 and 23 adjacent to the world-famous Lorelei Restaurant and Bar. A great place to depart and return with a lot of activity at the dock.

Your vessel for the day is a 2021 25’ Pathfinder bay boat, powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine. This state-of-the-art fishing machine is ideal for navigating the diverse terrains in the Keys and you’ll have the opportunity to be one of the first to fish on it. There’s plenty of space for 4 anglers to fish at the same time comfortably and a T-top to keep you sheltered from the Florida sun.

Fishing doesn’t get much more diverse than in the Florida Keys! Choose to explore the backcountry and take in stunning wildlife as you fish, or explore the Everglades National Park. Your targets in these inshore waters include Snook, Tarpon, Redfish, Seatrout, and Snapper. Head a little deeper and the crystal clear waters are stocked with Snapper, Grouper, and Hogfish!

Capt. Shawn provides all the rods, reels, and tackle you need for maximum efficiency. If you’d like to do some fly fishing, let him know in advance and he can bring along equipment for that too. He’s also happy to clean and fillet any keeper catch at the end of your trip. Just pack any drinks and snacks you’d like to enjoy throughout the day and you’re ready to go!

Whether you are an experienced angler or a beginner you’ll have a great time with Prime Time Charters!

Shawn is the man!

VERIFIED

Highly recommend spending a day on the water with Captain Shawn! He’s a great communicator and his fishing enthusiasm + knowledge is next level. He called the day before our trip and said the tarpon were biting… a fish my 15 year old son and I had dreamed about but never landed. Shawn put us on the fish and was really patient with us tarpon newbies, teaching us about tarpon habitat and catching techniques. We caught multiple tarpon (among other species) and my son declared it “the best day of fishing” he’s ever had. We’ll definitely go out with Shawn next time we’re in Islamorada.

Awesome day in the Everglades

VERIFIED

Captain Shawn was incredibly knowledgeable and well prepared for our 6 hour trip. Even though we had a late season cold front we were able to catch our limit of Trout. Along the way we caught a Goliath Grouper, Tarpon, a few Red fish, and many more. I can’t recommend Captain Shawn enough. We had such a great trip, we booked him for a full day tomorrow!

Great Family Fishing Trip

VERIFIED

We did a 2 hour sunset trip with our 2 boys ages 12 and 9. Captain Shawn was very knowledgeable of the area. His boat is very comfortable and my kids were reeling in fish left and right. Captain Shawn was very patient with our kids as they are pretty new to fishing. He was cracking jokes and had them feeling comfortable and confident quickly. We seen a crocodile, shark and some manatees as well. Captain Shawn filleted a few of our fish for us and after our trip we went over to Lorelei and they cooked up our fresh catch. The whole experience was a lot of fun and our kids said it was the best part of our trip. We will definitely be coming back for the 4 hour trip next time we are in Islamorada.
