Book your next trip with Renegade Fishing Charters and find out what you're missing in Islamorada. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Cole can tell you all about the local fishery.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Amberjack, Great Barracuda, Mahi Mahi, Black Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Sailfish, Vermilion Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Swordfish, Tilefish, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, and anything else that bites. On these trips, it's common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Capt. Cole can also have you kite fishing.

Families making of a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites!

You'll be dropping lines from a 34' Hatteras sportfish that holds up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. It's customary to tip the Mate 20% to show your appreciation.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and a hat. There will be water on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own drinks. Alcohol is allowed.

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Renegade Fishing Charters is just a click away.

excellent trip
6 Hour Trip (AM) on May 22, 20262 adults
captain cole and crew jess are the perfect crew, explain everything thats happening and why, and the enthusiasm they have makes everything better. it also doesn’t hurt that captain Cole sees and knows everyrhing!!! We were treated very well before, during and after the trip, cannot recommend them enough. Absolutely incredible experience with Renegade Fishing Charters out of Islamorada! Captain Cole and the crew were professional, knowledgeable, and worked nonstop to put us on fish all day. The boat was clean, comfortable, and fully equipped, and the crew made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped aboard. We caught some amazing fish, had a blast the entire trip, and learned a ton along the way. You can tell these guys truly love what they do and care about making sure everyone has a great time. Whether you’re an experienced angler or going offshore for the first time, I highly recommend booking with Renegade.

“Best charter on the water — Captain Cole & Terry are the real dea
3 Hour Trip – Shark/Tarpon on May 28, 20262 adults
Cannot recommend Captain Cole and first mate Terry highly enough! From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. We landed a tarpon — an absolute thrill — and my 14-year-old son had the time of his life. You can tell these guys take real pride in their work and customer service. If you’re looking for a top-notch fishing charter, look no further. We’ll definitely be back!

Great Day Out!
6 Hour Trip (AM) on March 23, 20263 adults
The most important part for us was that Captain Colt actually included us in the decision making process. He asked what we wanted out of our trip and acted on it. He also didn’t hesitate to move after a spot wasn’t providing results. Once we got enough for a few dinners, he asked whether we wanted to stay or go after trophy fish. We went after the trophy fish. Didn’t end up catching any, but it wasn’t from lack of effort. We watched several big ones chase our baitfish, just couldn’t force them to bite. Also, First Mate Jessica was not only really helpful with getting us set up all day, but my daughter, wife, and I all agreed that she was just super cool to learn from and talk to. Not sure when we’ll be back to Islamorada, but we will definitely look this boat up again when we do!

BEST CHARTER EVER!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on January 10, 20264 adults
Captain Cole and Jessica...the absolute best. My family has been on several fishing charters in this area over the past year. The Renegade crew by far, provided the best charter my family has gone on. Captain Cole and Jessica were incredible at finding the "it" location to catch, catch, and catch some more. They taught us how to reel and catch the fish correctly without injury to the fish and to be able to ensure the fish got into the boat. If you are looking for a charter were you catch a lot of fish with an outstanding crew....Captain Cole and Jessica on The Renegade is the charter for you!!!!!
Reported catch:

Super experience
4 Hour Trip (PM) on June 7, 20262 adults1 child
This was a gift for the confirmation of my son. We live and fish in Italy but the experience was great. Capt.Cole changed anchoring point at least 3 time due to the weather variation and his assistant was prompt in each manoeuvre. Plus the constant and friendly suggestions about fishing technics
