If you’re ready to have fun fishing in the Florida Keys, we’ve got you covered on Only Fins. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Richard can tell you all about the local fishery. Our guides have been on these waters more than 30 years.

Mahi, tuna, wahoo, sailfish, tarpon, snapper, grouper and more could be biting if you come at the right time of year. On these trips, you can expect to troll using light tackle.

If you’re traveling with the family, you 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 for kids over 45 pounds. If the children are smaller you must bring your own. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

You’ll be dropping lines from a 28’ Sea Fox center console with room for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Penn and canyon reels are utilized. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.

We carry a vessel fishing license and most NOAA permits for the Atlantic side,

lobster license is included in the trip if you are interested and they are in season. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don’t leave home without sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with the Borden Company.

4 Hour Morning Reef and Wreck Trip

Awesome Experience

VERIFIED

Captain Richard went above and beyond expectations. We caught a variety of fish while on the boat. Captain Richard was on point with baiting our lines and assisting us in any way possible. I would highly recommend this fishing charter to anyone. And we can honestly say we will be back and will be rebooking with Captain Richard.

Captain Rich was absolutely phenomenal with our entire family. I am wheelchair based and he made it work as much as I needed! He got us on fish and continued to make sure that we had fun and continued to catch all day even. Would recommend him to absolutely everyone!
