Make the most of your time in Marathon and go fishing with Captain Jay Charters. Your guide for the day is Captain Jason, which allows you to benefit from their knowledge and experience.

These waters are known for Amberjack, Great Barracuda, Bonefish, Cero Mackerel, Cobia, Black Grouper, Goliath Grouper, Lobster, Permit, Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. You can expect to do some spinning, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Jason also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Capt. Jason welcomes children aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Your boat for the day is a 23' Parker center console with room for 5 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

It's recommended to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. 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 Captain Jay Charters.

Good Trip, but need better conditions
3 Hour Trip on June 26, 20262 adults2 children

We had a good trip out. Ryan was great during our short trip. Knew just thr right spot to take us. Unfortunately, there was a storm coming in that we didn’t realize and the choppy waters made most of our family very sick. I wish the call the night before the trip helped to prepare us more. Thoughts on weather, asking about anyone who may end up sick/ needing medicine so we could prepare. Overall I think Ryan was great given the situation and took us back as soon as we asked.

Once in a lifetime trip!!!!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Reef/gulf on April 2, 20264 adults1 child

From booking the trip to the communication leading up to the day of the charter, Captain Ryan with Captains Js Charters was very professional and easy to deal with! The overall experience was nothing short of exceptional and Captain Ryan made sure that everyone was comfortable, safe, and having a great time! On top of that we caught a variety of fish including some yellowtail, snapper, a remora, a 4’ Goliath Grouper and a “once in a lifetime” 10’ LEMON SHARK! Truly an incredible day with an exceptional Captain!

Reported catch:
Goliath Grouper

Shark and barracuda trip with Ryan was incredible.
4 Hour Trip – Sharks on May 7, 20262 adults

Captain Ryan took my wife and I out to catch sharks and he didn’t disappoint.. we caught 9 of them all within 4 hours! Ryan’s an absolute animal and really knows his stuff. Very friendly, trustworthy and accommodating. This would be a great trip for really anyone who wants to see a shark up close and have a once in a lifetime experience. Can wait to come back and do it again next year! Thank you again!
