Island Life Fishing is located in Miami and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Come on aboard with Capt. Ed, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, fly fishing, drift fishing, jigging, and spinning, based on the species you’re targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 4 to 8-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Barracuda, King Mackerel, Tarpon, Snook, Jack Crevalle, and Snapper, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.

Your adventure begins on board an 18’ Panga Marine boat that can fit a maximum of 3 anglers. The boat is fitted with a wireless trolling motor. All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that’s up to you is to use it as best you can.

No need to worry about fishing licenses, as they will be provided and handled by the charter. You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so. This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.
