Fishtrips invites you for an exciting day of fishing! Come enjoy a few hours on the beautiful waters around Marathon, Florida. You can fish the famous 7-mile bridge or offshore, all having a large variety of quality fish species on the offer. Captain Shawn Reese will make sure you visit all the spots with the biggest chance for making a catch and have a great time on the water. Pick a day and set sail!

Your trip starts on a 27 ft power catamaran center console. It's big enough to accommodate 4 anglers and is powered by twin 150hp Mercury engines that can reach a maximum cruising speed of 35 knots. The boat uses modern GPS and fishfinder technology and is equipped with a livewell to supply you with live bait.

On your trip, you and the captain will target Mahi, Yellowtail and Mangrove Snapper as well as the occasional Grouper or Tarpon. you'll catch them using spinning on light tackle. You can choose whether to keep the fish you catch and take it home, or simply release it back into the water. Kids are more than welcome to join aboard, so feel free to bring them as well.

Captain Shawn will provide you with all the rods, reels, tackle, lures, as well as fishing licenses, and will even clean and fillet your catch at no extra cost. What you should bring on your trip are just the snacks and drinks of your choice.

Come to Marathon and have a great day on the water with Fishtrips!

Sunset trip with Shawn in Marathon FL

Reef, Bridge, Gulf, 4hr Trip (PM) on June 23, 2021 • 2 adults • 2 children

We had a blast fishing with Shawn on a 4 hour sunset trip. We caught about 35 fish of about 5 or 6 different types. Not to many keepers but we just had a blast fishing together as a family (and actually catching fish!). Shawn wasn't a stickler for time since he didn't have any appointments after us so we stayed out and watched an awesome sunset. Shawn splits his time between here in the keys (summers) and San Antonio TX, so give him a ring, he was able to book us same day (we called at lunch and was in the water by 3:45PM)

Shawn book us again for next year, I will bring some beer this time!

Half Day with Captain Shawn

Reef, Bridge, Gulf, 4hr Trip (PM) on May 25, 2022 • 2 adults

Went out with my dad on a last minute fishing 1/2 day with Captain Shawn. Lots of excitement and hit after hit, brining in several keepers and dozens of throw backs, including mangrove, yellowtail, shark, pufferfish, catfish, and hound fish. Highly recommend - an excellent experience and delicious grill up!

We had a great trip with Captain Shawn when we were visiting the keys last week. It was a rainy morning but we contacted him about an afternoon trip and he responded quickly and we went out on a 4 hour trip. Caught several mutton snapper, a few sharks, some yellowtail snapper, and grouper.
