Explore an absolute fishing paradise with Billy B Charter Services! The crystal-clear waters of the Florida Keys are bountiful year round and they’re a second home to your guide, Captain Billy. He’s been catching fish in the area his whole life and helped hundreds of people do the same. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or you’re just getting accustomed to this sport, you’re welcome to join.

It all starts on a 24’ Ranger boat that accommodates up to 6 guests. This bay boat is powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine and also features a remote trolling motor. Besides navigational electronics and safety gear, the boat also has dry storage for personal belongings and a cooler for your food and drinks.

The only decision you need to make is which trip to take. There are specialized trips that target only one species, such as Tarpon, which is a great option if you’re ready to handle a hard fight. If you’re here for the excitement, take a Shark trip instead. For anglers who value precision and patience above all, fly fishing trips are just what you need. Some of the species you can go after are Snook, Redfish, Trout, Snapper, Mackerel, and many more.

All you need to do is pack some snacks and drinks and be at the dock on time. Everything else is covered by the captain - your fishing licenses, rods, reels, lures, and even catch cleaning service. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with the captain in advance.

Catch the fish of a lifetime with Billy B Charter Services!

4 Hour Trip – Mixed Species (AM)

Best day catching!!

VERIFIED
NEW

We went fishing with our three kids, ages 8, 4, and 2 1/2. Captain Billy was so patient and helpful with our kids so my husband and I could both fish. He did some of the casting for our 8 year old, he gave her fishing tips to help her be successful in catching her fill of trout. She caught a bunch of fish and she was “tired” of catching so many fish and needed a break. Captain Billy gave us options to how far of a ride we could do and what we could catch. After the charter, he cleaned our fish and recommended a local restaurant to go where they cooked it. He explained exactly what to order and what to tell the server!! (The restaurant was amazing too!) I would definitely recommend Captain Billy, he is the best around, is great with kids, and will put you on fish!

Easily best decision we made on vacation!

Billy was phenomenal with our group and we had 4 children 12 and under with us! Everyone caught multiple fish and his demeanor and patience with the kids was amazing especially the two youngest ones. By the end of the trip he had our 7 year old daughter looking like a professional angler! He makes it really fun and definitely knows how to tailor a trip to your parties needs. I would highly recommend him to any of our friends and I will 100 percent be back to book with him again. If you want to make sure you’re getting the most out of your trip this is the charter to book!

The other half of our family had to cancel day of so it was just me and my son. We had a blast with Captain Billy! He took us up to the Everglades and we were able to catch fish the whole time we were up there. It was definitely a memorable experience for my son and I. His equipment and music choices are top-notch! More importantly, he is very patient and positive when helping less experienced anglers learn to fish. Would recommend to anyone!

Awesome Trip. Even Better Captain

VERIFIED

I’m not one for typing up many reviews but when you find someone so deserving here it goes. Billy is amazing. Such a good kind person who absolutely knows the Keys and how to fish them - but even more knows how to make the guests on his boat feel welcome. Would recommend him to any and everyone looking to explore the fishing here. We were down from Wisconsin and last minute booked with him - ended the day so grateful we did. Lost count of probably the 40 or more speckled trout we caught along with a few other various species. Billy recommended a local restaurant to take a few fillets to for lunch immediately after and it was some of the best fish we’ve ever had. Would 110% book with him again if we ever get down this way. Great guy. Great fisherman. Great day on the water. Thank you sir!

Captain Billy provided my family with the best chartered fishing experience we have ever had. We had three adults and one 10-year-old. Captain Billy took the time to show us the technique we would need to be successful at fishing for Spanish mackerel. He also was able to teach the 10-year-old to cast and land the Spanish mackerel on his own. To me and the family that was very impressive to be teaching the kid how to cast and fish while removing fish from our landings, rebaiting our hooks and tying new lures. Captain Billy spared no expense on our trip. He took us to where the fish were and explained every step he took to put us on the fish. I can't say enough about Captain Billy's expertise, professionalism, and his awesome boat. Thanks again Captain Billy for the best charter experience we have had to date!
