Moondance Charters Marathon 

Captain Sal is originally from Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, where he cut his teeth fishing with his dad for all species of fish of the Atlantic. He brought his considerable experience to Montauk where he runs Moondance Charters of Montauk, fishing there from May to November. And now Marathon, where he’s fished over a decade. Now you will discover the beauty and bounty of fishing the Florida keys for a multitude of species.

You will fish with Captain Sal Trapani aboard “Lola Maria Rose”, a beautiful, fast, and safe 22’ Grady White center console. She’s powered by a 225 HP Yamaha engine and reaches the speed of 40 knots. There’s all kinds of gear that will make fishing go smoothly, such as a live bait tank, a cooler, downriggers, and tuna tubes. There’s also a toilet, to make the trip more enjoyable.

Your targets depend on how far off the coast you go. Stay closer on a short trip and you’ll have the chance to catch King Mackerel, Cobia, and all kinds of Snapper (Mutton, Yellowtail, Mangrove). Head out offshore and you’ll find Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Amberjack, Sailfish, and Tuna.

You only need to pack your snacks, drinks, and sun protection. Everything else is covered by the captain, including your fishing license, equipment, and even catch cleaning service.

Don’t aim for the biggest fish, aim for the tastiest one. Capt. Sal will clean and fillet it for you, so you can take it straight to the frying pan.

Moondance Charters Marathon offers a fun fishing experience for all levels of anglers. Families are welcome! Captain Sal will make sure you catch fish, have fun, and enjoy your day on the water!
