For fishing, we love to target Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Cobia, Grouper, Sailfish, and Hogfish, depending on the season and conditions on the day. We use techniques such as light tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, big game fishing, drift fishing, jigging, spearfishing, and spinning.

6 hr– Offshore Fishing on March 2, 2025

We have fished with Capt Ray multiple times and we always have a great time. Ray treats his clients with respect, invests the time to teach you the techniques if you care to learn! He works hard finding the fish, and will try lots of different spots and styles of fishing until he finds something that is biting. Always an enjoyable time!!

4 hr– Offshore Fishing on January 19, 2025

Went out for a second time with Livin the Dream. We fished for hours and I don’t think we went a minute without a bite, they lived and kept pushing the fishing and we had a blast! Can’t wait to come back and spend a couple of days with them on the water in September!

I am a Captain who grew up in the Lower Keys. I have extensive knowledge of the waters in this area. I've done commercial fishing, diving, island hopping, and even towing and salvage. As a Captain, I have been fishing, spearfishing, and lobstering since I was a kid. I can't imagine doing anything else, this is what I love!
