Islamorada Family Fishing Charters

Book your next trip with Islamorada Family Fishing Charters and find out what keeps anglers coming back to Islamorada for more. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Scott knows them forwards and back.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Mangrove Snapper, Snook, Tarpon, Great Barracuda, Blacktip Shark, Yellowtail Snapper, Black Grouper, and whatever else is biting. You can expect to do some spinning, 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! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Your vessel for the day is an 18’ Sea Fox bay boat that holds up to 4 passengers. Capt. Scott will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures, live bait, and/or fresh-cut bait. There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle!

Don’t leave home without sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

Hello, my name is Captain Scott. I'm a Coast Guard-licensed captain and a 3rd generation native Floridian. I've been handed down the tradition and local knowledge of fishing in Florida waters by both my grandfathers and my father. I've been fishing our local waters for the last 35 years. I have a love for the outdoors, and I know these waters like the back of my hand. I'm a proven tournament winner – first place 2018 Suncoast Tarpon Shootout, first place for the biggest Tarpon in the 2017 White Buffalo Suncoast Tarpon Shootout, third place for most releases in the 2016 Suncoast Tarpon Shootout, and 2nd place overall, and at the 2018 Economy Tackle Bass on Fly tournament, I got 1st place. I have a passion for sharing our great fishery and the outdoors with the next generation. I love fishing with kids, and it shows. The look on their face when they reel in the big one keeps me going. I pride myself on being patient, helpful, and attentive. I promise to do everything I can to make your experience on the water a great one!
