Jason also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.
Capt. Jason welcomes anglers of all ages, including kids, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!
Your trip begins aboard a 24 ft Sea Hunt center console that holds up to 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. Some essentials to bring are sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. Bottled water and ice are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now’s the time to experience fishing in Marathon for yourself, with Captain Jay Charters II!

6 Hour Trip – Inshore/Reef (AM)
Fishing trip with Captain Bryce
We all had a great time with Captain Bryce! He knew a lot about the different fishing locations and what kind of fish we would be wanting to catch for dinner. Captain Bryce was really kind and patient. We didn't have much experience fishing on a boat so he taught us a lot about how the fish behave and what to do when we had a bite. We caught different types of fish as well and saw a couple big sharks and some barracudas who were hunting our fish. And the end of the trip we had enough good fish for 6 people to eat. (They were delicious) Captian Bryce kindly cutt them up for us when we got back to the dock. All in all it was a very fun trip and we definitly would recommend anyone to go fishing at this location! Big thank you to captain Bryce for the great day.

so fun, full of surprises and lots of fish
My family had a blast with Capt. Bryan. We were in good hands the whole time and he was very knowledgeable and patient. He found a great spot and my boys, dad and I caught lots of mangrove snapper and a surprise grouper. At one point, all four of us had fish on our poles! We saw many other species on the reef and learned a lot. You just never know what you are going to see and experience. Be flexible, relax and enjoy the beauty, catching fish, and you will have an incredible time.

Brilliant day out
On the trip was me, my brother and nephew, with last two having zero fishing experience. Captain Pryce was excellent made sure we all caught fish and drunk plenty of water. We caught yellow tail and lane snapper, a shark and Walmart tuna, which made us laugh. We came from the UK and would definitely go again.

Captain Jay Charters 2
Captain Bryan took my 11year old son and myself on the 3 hour charter. Although Mother Nature didn’t cooperate fully…At no fault of the captain, We did catch yellow tail snapper, grouper and pin fish. Captain Bryan did everything he could to make sure it was a fun and successful charter. We did see a manatee, a few nurse sharks and a big tiger shark, which was very cool! Captain Bryan is very knowledgeable, personable and a great fisherman/captain. Overall it was an awesome experience. I would absolutely book with Captain Jay Charters again if the opportunity presents itself, and highly recommend it!

Unforgettable charter
My son and I had truly the best experience with this fishing charter lead by Captain Bryce! We caught many fish and learned a ton about the Gulf and fishing technique and about different species. The boat ride to our destination was smooth, peaceful and gorgeous. I felt safe and cared for on this well equipped boat. Captain Bryce is so knowledgeable, enthusiastic, friendly. A true professional who obviously loves his job. We didn’t want the trip to end although we were exhausted from all the fishing action. We had our catch for dinner in a local restaurant. Can’t wait to go back!
