If you're in the market for a day to remember, look no further than Off The Hook Charters – 35' Contender. With Captain Collin at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
These waters are known for Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Mutton Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, Sailfish, Amberjack, Cobia, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before "Fish on!"
You can expect to do some spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!
You'll be welcome aboard a 35' Sportfishing that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.
You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Off The Hook Charters – 35' Contender!

Perfect Weather, Perfect seas, Great Captain (Rich), and plenty of fish in some great spots. 20+ fish including mangrove and yellow tail snapper, a 30+ pound cobia, several other speices, plus multiple lost fish that made a clean get away.... 3 distinct sharks on the lines...a 6foot +/- nurse shark and an 8foot +/- bull shark brought to the boat and released !!! Lost another big shark in the battles ! Could not plan a better day on the water !!!

Captain was very knowledgeable about fishing
thanks for the great review mark!
Our family of 6 very much enjoyed our fishing trip. Capt. James and Mate Dalton were very outgoing and were attentive to all our needs. They were very quick to bait our hooks and help us (rookies) with our fishing with lots of tips. Within less than 5 minutes of arriving at our first fishing location our youngest member (age 10) made the first catch (yellow fin) - he was thrilled. We fished at our first location for ~1 hour and caught lots of yellow tail, most we kept and a few were too small and were thrown back. Also, I had a big amberjack on the hook and got it back to the boat, but then the line broke and we lost a big one. We then moved to a second location we immediately caught some mutton snapper but then the fish decided not to bite - so we moved to a third location. As we arrived at the third location, we started having some snacks and it was at this time we learned that it is unlucky to bring bananas on a fishing boat (well, at least that was the story Dalton told us and Capt James seconded that tale). In any event, we did catch a mackeral at the third spot and even tho there were lots of fish showing on the screen, none seemed interested in our bait. After trying hard to get some nibbles, our time was up and we headed back to the dock and Capt James cleaned our catch. If we make it back to Marathon on a future trip we would again go on a fishing excursion with Off the Hook. Next time we'll remember to not bring bananas but might bring a pineapple as that is supposedly good luck. Also good luck is to have some whiskey before fishing and one other good luck charm is to throw a crew member overboard (Dalton, you get volunteered !). Thanks to the crew for the memorable trip !
