There’s a fish with your name on it in Marathon and Rapid Fire Sport Fishing will help you catch it! Your guides for the day are Captain Bill and First Mate Roger, who will do their best to catch the fish of your dreams. They will allow you to benefit from over 6 years of working as a mate for the the highly acclaimed Ana Banana Fishing Company of Marathon Keys, under the wing of Captain Joel Brandenburg, which has given them the expertise of fishing technics on the local waters of Marathon.

Mahi Mahi, Snappers, Groupers, and more could be biting if you come at the right time of year. On the day of your trip you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Capt. Bill also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! The Captain and Crew are non-cigarette smokers for your convenience. The Captain and Crew will make your day on the water one to remember.

Your vessel for the day is a 32’ Cape Horn center console with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Private Toilet for your comfort. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for some fishing! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Don’t forget to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Rapid Fire will clean and bag your catch, and can also recommend local restaurants to cook your fresh catch!

Now’s the time to experience fishing in Marathon for yourself, with Rapid Fire Sport Fishing!  Let’s Tighten up Lines with Captain Bill Sherman!!

4 Hour Trip – Reef/Wreck on February 17, 2025

Capt Bill and his right hand Roger were amazing! Boat and tackle were in tip top shape. Super comfortable and well maintained. They were friendly and knowledgeable. We had a fantastic time and would definitely book them again on our next trip. They made it memorable along with personal touches that the kids will never forget.

Special 6 hours trip for Jon Heil on October 1, 2024

What an amazing day!! Booked the trip the night before last minute. Wasn’t expecting much after the storm but these guys just killed it!! From the amazing communication answering questions before booking to cleaning a boat full of Mahi at the end of the day it was one of the best offshore experiences I have ever had. The crew was so much fun, professional, accommodating and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. 10 stars!! I’ll be back for more!!
