Top Notch Sportfishing is located in Marathon and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters. Embark on an offshore, wreck, reef, or bay fishing adventure! Captain Bill customizes the charter to your dreams and expectations. With nearly two decades of professional fishing experience, he will get you tight with the fish of a lifetime.

Capt. Bill will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 4 to 12-hour trips, fishing for everything from Snapper and Grouper on the reef to Sailfish and Tuna offshore! The species also include Dolphin, Cobia, and Amberjack. On your trip, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, big game fishing, drift fishing, jigging, kite fishing, popping, and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 31’ Egret boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat comes with an ice-box and the latest in Garmin electronics.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Top Notch Sportfishing!

Half Day Trip – Reef/Wreck/Bay on April 23, 20252 adults
Our morning charter with Captain Bill was simply perfection 👌 We arrived early and he was ready for us. The ride out and the views were spectacular, and once we arrived, my husband had a fish on in 2 minutes. In fact, we caught so many, we actually had to throw some back! Captain Bill definitely ticked that box on bucket list with his knowledge and personality, and we will definitely be back for a full day trip with him in the future!

Captain Bill worked hard to get us a nice catch of Yellowtail Snapper. The conditions were a bit choppy, but everyone in our group of 6 caught fish and they were delicious.

Half Day Trip – Reef/Wreck/Bay (PM) on January 2, 20252 adults
Had an amazing day with my dad and Capt. Bill. We caught a wide variety of fish, we're comfortable and the captain was on it from bating bare hooks to removing fish and cleaning them when we were done. Super knowledgeable guy and definitely got us on the fish.
