Riplines Charters / Johnny Maddox Charters 

Riplines Charters welcomes you to Marathon, Florida to enjoy some of the world’s best fishing. USCG licensed and insured, Captain Rip Slendak is a tournament-winning angler who invites you to an interactive approach to the Riplines Charter fishing experience by being an integral part of the fishing team. Hop aboard and fish offshore, inshore, reefs, wrecks, the Atlantic, and the Gulf. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned angler, the crew welcomes you aboard its fishing adventure.

Your boat for the day is a 23’ Tidewater center console that fits up to 4 guests. It runs on a 250 HP Yamaha engine, uses all the modern navigation electronics… For a better fishing experience, the boat uses a live well, for live bait and outriggers for trolling.

Using light and heavy tackle, you and Captain Rip will attract fish by bottom, deep sea, drift, and kite fishing, as well as trolling, spinning, and jigging. Some of the species you can expect to chase are Mahi Mahi, Yellowtail Snapper, Tarpon, Blackfin Tuna, Black Grouper, and Blue Marlin. If you choose to keep the fish you catch, the captain will clean and fillet it for you, free of charge. You’re welcome to bring your kids aboard.
Captain Rip provides all the fishing tackle and licenses are provided, so just bring your sunglasses, food, drinks, and sunscreen.
