Glades & Bay Charters – Big Pine Key
Spend the day with Glades & Bay Charters and see what's biting in Big Pine Key! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Stephan knows them forwards and back.
Down in the Lower Keys, far from the crowds, Big Pine Key offers one of the most laid-back yet action-packed inshore fisheries in Florida.
If you're looking to chase tailing Bonefish, stalk trophy Tarpon in crystal-clear shallows, or hunt elusive Permit across the flats, this is your water—and the captain is here to guide you through it.
Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Stephan also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.
Trips with Glades & Bay Charters are open to the whole family, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to keep their stamina going!
Your day begins aboard a 18' East Cape flats boat that holds up to 2 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water.
Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that day dream into a reality, with Glades & Bay Charters.

Stephan was a great guide. Super helpful, patient and knowledgeable. You can tell he enjoys what he does and wants to show you the awesome fishing that the keys has to offer. I’m an experienced fisherman and my partner is newer to it, and I felt like Stephan guided to both of our skill levels.
We had an incredible fly fishing trip in the Florida Keys with Captain Stephan Alonso. He put us on plenty of tarpon and gave us great chances throughout the day—he really knows his stuff. Stephan was a fantastic guide and a great teacher. He was patient, clear, and genuinely wanted us to have a successful day. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or new to the sport, you’ll learn a lot fishing with him. On top of that, he's easy to talk to and made the whole day fun. We had a lot in common, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend booking with Captain Stephan—I'll definitely be back!

I have been fishing my whole life, my dad taught me at a very young age. I was born and raised down in South Florida and fishing is in my blood. The love I have for fishing has made me want to become a fishing guide because there is no better feeling than taking clients out to catch their first fish or their personal best fish or even just taking people out to just enjoy the outdoors and get to experience what I experience on a daily basis.
