Burton lll Sport Fishing

Burton lll Sport Fishing offers a perfect way to experience the highlight of your vacation. Join Captain Mario, a 3rd generation fisherman, who’s been catching fish in the area since he was only 4 years old. For years, he has been showing these waters to other people, teaching them different ways to get to their trophy, and helping them to enjoy their day to the max. Now it’s time for you to experience the same.

It all starts on a 28’ Nava boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. This center console is powered by twin 60 HP Mercury engines and reaches the speed of 26 knots. The boat features everything you’ll need for a successful day on the water, such as a fighting chair, a live bait tank, outriggers, and navigational electronics. For more comfort, there’s also a private toilet.

The trips range from short inshore tours to full day big game adventures. You can go after Jack Crevalle, Snapper, Roosterfish, and Mackerel, or take a challenge and target Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Barracuda, and many more. If fishing is not the only thing you want to do, there’s also an option to combine it with snorkeling and island hopping.

It’s very easy to get ready for your trip - just pack some food and sun protection. Everything else is covered by the crew, including your fishing licenses, equipment, and bottled water. The crew will also clean your catch after the trip, so feel free to bring your cooler.

Burton III Sport Fishing has never-ending adventures, as they tend to spend every day on the water. One of those days can easily be reserved just for you. All you need to do is say when you’re coming.
