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!

A great day on the water!

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 24, 2025 • 2 adults

We had the best time on the water with Stephen! He knew exactly where to take us and made the whole experience unforgettable. We caught a huge variety of fish— snook, barracuda, jack, trout, snapper and even catfish. On top of that we saw sharks and stingrays up close which made the day even more exiting. He was super knowledgeable, patient, and made sure we were having fun. We’ll definitely be booking again next time we’re in town!

Best experience of our trip!

Half Day Trip (AM) on March 3, 2026 • 2 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!

Fun day!

Half Day Trip (AM) on April 15, 2026 • 2 adults

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, 2025 • 1 adult • 1 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!!!!!
