Islamorada has a fish with your name on it, so let Salty Bowline Charters help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Trentin Leary can tell you all about them. His vast knowledge of the waters will get you on fish!

Around here it's common to catch Mahi Mahi, Snook, Amberjack, Wahoo, Sail, Mackerel, Tuna, Grouper, Snapper, Jacks and many more if conditions are right.

On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. We also love throwing live bait and lures. With twin Mercury 300 HP Verado's running to a fishing spot is quick and easy and will keep you fishing. There is plenty of power to run to a new location and find the bite. 

You'll be fishing aboard a beautiful 28' Caymas 281HB Center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.  This Caymas 281HB is even rigged with a Flir M-364C Thermal Camera, along with Simrad Halo 3004 Radar with open array to help find the birds and bait. For even more comfortability the boat is covered in gorgeous SeaDek. 

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, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

It's recommended to bring sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you as well as a coolers of ice for your beverages. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles while on the boat. Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Salty Bowline Charters. We will do our best to get you on fish and enjoy a wonderful day in the beautiful Florida Keys!

Best time ever with Salty Bowline Charters!
6 Hour Trip INSHORE on February 8, 20262 adults
We have done quite a few fishing charters, but our time with Salty Bowline was probably one of the best we have ever done. The Caymas they run is absolutely beautiful and top of the line. We were in comfort the entire time even in some wind and chop! Trent was our Captain joined by Jackson and they were such great guys! We loved there spirit and personalities so much! They busted their butts for us getting us on bait to use for the day and always getting us on fish at almost every spot we visited! Jackson kept our lines baited and great conversation going as well! We are already planning another trip for maybe summer or fall back to Islamorada just to fish with these guys! Thank you all for the wonderful time and we can't wait to come back again!

6 Hour Trip OFFSHORE on February 18, 20266 adults
Five of friends including me fished with Trent Leary, Captain of the boat. We caught fish and had them prepared at two different restaurants for our dinner. The restaurants were recommended by our Captain. Trent is very knowledgeable of the area, we were confident on his decisions and recommendations. His boat was clean, the equipment was as in perfect order and his attitude was always in our best interest. My friends and I highly recommend Trent as a Captain and a fishing guide. We will fish with Trent again in the near future.

Perfect for family of 4 with young kids
4 Hour Trip – FAMILY (AM) on February 5, 20262 adults2 children
Very pleased with Captain Trent’s clean boat and his ability to put us on the fish. First mate Jackson kept bait fresh and our lines in the water. He was great with our kids! With our boys being 7 & 8, safety was my top priority and I couldn’t be happier with our trip on the water. Bonus of having a hawksbill turtle swim up to the boat and seeing dolphins was amazing! We’ll be back to fish with you guys on our next trip to Islamorada!

Great Captain, great boat.
6 Hour Trip OFFSHORE on February 26, 20262 adults
Captain Trentin was very professional and knowledgeable. He definitely put the work in to find the fish and bait. We put the 28 Caymas through its paces. This hybrid style boat was comfortable and capable both in skinny water and off shore. We caught a bunch of different species and brought a bunch of meat home for a nice meal. Thanks Capt Trentin for a great day on the water!

Grouper, Snapper, Tuna, Fun.
6 Hour Trip INSHORE on February 14, 20262 adults2 children
Trent put us on fish first thing and Jackson kept our hooks baited. Enough Grouper and Snapper action in-shore that we went off-shore and landed a couple Tuna. My kids landed all the big fish, and the crew's patience and tutelage was excellent. 10/10 would book again. I ate the eyeballs out of a Blackfin Tuna in my hotel room, just thought you should know.
