Eye Catcher Charters – Key Largo

Eye Catcher Charters can make your trip what you want it to be. Join Captain Bry for serious fishing offshore or a fun day with the family on the reef – it’s all about what works best for you and your loved ones. Anglers of all skill levels are welcome to join, so no one gets left behind. And we specialize in teaching young anglers to love the sport of fishing.

Captain Bry is an experienced captain with over 40 years on the water. He carries a USCG Merchant mariner credential (captains license), CPR certification, a Life Guard Certification, and is fully insured for commercial operation.

You’ll be fishing on a 30’ Sea Hunt with brand new state-of-the-art Garmin electronics and use Penn fishing equipment for both trolling and patch fishing. This 2020 center console is powered by twin 300 HP Yamaha engines and reaches the speed of 54 knots. The boat also features a private toilet, a cooler, and outriggers.

All trips are half-days, so you won’t stay on the water for too long. You can explore reefs and target different types of Snapper, Grouper, and Sharks. If you prefer trolling, there are great offshore species to go after, such as Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Sailfish.

All bait and fishing licenses are included in the price of the charter. You only need to pack your food, drinks, and sun protection.

Eye Catcher Charters welcomes you aboard! Let’s go fishing!
