Spend the day with Glades & Bay Charters and see what's biting in Islamorada! With Captain Stephan at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Bonefish, Permit, Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, Speckled Trout, and plenty more. On the day of your trip you're likely to spin using light tackle. Capt. Stephan also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! 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 stay fueled throughout your trip!

You'll be welcome aboard a 18' East Cape flats boat with space for 2 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Don't forget to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Glades & Bay Charters!

Best experience of our trip!
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 3, 20262 adults

Captian Stephan made our time out on the water one we won’t forget! He knew all the places to look for what we were wanting to catch and even with the weather being not in our favor he truly made the most of it and guided my husband to hook some great fish!

Caught some snook and speckled trout, saw a bunch of redfish. Captain Stephen was great at getting on us fish. Additionally, saw a bunch of manatees, turtles, sharks, and big stingrays. A fun day on the water for me and my son.

Great time!
Half Day Trip (AM) on September 26, 20251 adult1 child

My son and I had a blast. Stephan was an excellent captain. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient (dealing with the barage of questions from myself and my 9 year old and not just the elusive fish). He had us fish on nonstop catching 5-6 different species on only a half day trip. I would highly recommend Stephan to anyone to show them a great time!!!!!

Great day on the water!
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 29, 20252 adults

Stephan was very easy to deal with. He messaged promptly as soon as I booked and was very responsive in his communication. Out on the water he expertly navigated around an inbound rainstorm, put us on snapper, and even gave us some lessons on saltwater fly fishing. Would definitely repeat!

Reported catch:
Snook

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.
