Sundance Sportfishing Charters
Make some memories in Marathon and go fishing with Sundance Sportfishing Charters. With Captain Bob or Willie at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
Species like Amberjack, Tarpon, Bonito, Mahi Mahi, Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Sailfish, Mutton Snapper, Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna, Swordfish, and more could be biting, depending on the time of year. You’ll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Bob or Willie can also have you kite fishing.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Don’t forget your snacks.
You’ll find yourself aboard a 35’ Pursuit center console with room for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly and they work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain. It’s never a bad idea to bring sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

6 Hour Trip – Mahi/Offshore Combo
Great Catch
After the weather wouldn't cooperate, Captain Bob was able to keep us inshore catching various species and having a great time!

8 Hour Trip – Swordfish / Offshore
Communicate with your captain your wishes
My wife purchased a half day deep sea, half day reef trip for my 60th B-day present. She was very specific when booking the trip on this platform that we wanted to target Swordfish, Tuna & Wahoo on the deep sea portion and then Snapper & Grouper while we reef fished. We spent the entire day deep dropping for swordfish. Because we had some rough conditions, it took 2+hours to get to the swordfish grounds. On the way out we saw birds working and we caught a few dolphin fish. We basically spent the rest of our allotted time deep drifting for swordfish. I figured at some point since we only had one “bite” for the next few hours that we would call it quits, go to the the reef and finish the day catching the other species we mentioned in our initial request. That didn’t happen. We did target a few more working birds on the way in so we caught a decent amount of Mahi. I guess it’s my fault for not taking the initiative to advise our captain of something I expected would have been directly communicated by this site. I have to admit I’m confused about why the trip is labeled as half day deep sea/half day reef when we spent no time at all fishing the reef. Captain Willie and Mate Todd were great. I highly recommend them. I just wish I had done a better job of communicating that while it would have been really cool to catch a swordfish, it was far from my sole target species. I would’ve preferred to fill the box with snapper and grouper. Lesson learned ya’ll.

Great day offshore Marathon
Really recommend this experience offshore Marathon. A bit early for sails, but great catch of marcel and Mahi Mahi.
