“What can I say about Stuart, Florida? It’s a growing town with a small-town feel. I call it the ‘Goldilocks Zone’—where the offshore fishing of South Florida meets the inshore fishing of Central Florida. It is truly one of a kind. Stuart is known as the Sailfish Capital of the World, but we are so much more than that. In a single day, you can catch a Snook, a Tarpon, a Mahi-Mahi, and a Sailfish… and then drive 20 minutes west and harvest a deer. Or drive 10 minutes to the beach and surf a wave. We truly live in a unique area.” – Captain Dennis Kelly.

Captain Dennis Kelly grew up in Martin County and is an avid outdoorsman, local conservationist, and dedicated surfer.

While chartering aboard “My Last Honey,” you might hook into Sailfish, Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi), Mutton Snapper, Snapper, Amberjack, Blue Marlin, Wahoo, Grouper, Cobia, Blackfin Tuna, Swordfish, Tilefish, and more.

Depending on the species you’re targeting, you may find yourself trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or trying something more specialized, such as Fly Fishing (available upon request).

Your adventure begins aboard “My Last Honey,” a 46-foot Post Sportfish that can accommodate groups of up to 6 passengers. The boat features ice-cold air conditioning, a spacious salon, galley, and two heads for your comfort and convenience.

A First Mate will be onboard to ensure everything runs smoothly. Mates often work for tips, and it is customary to offer a gratuity starting at 20%.

There is no need to purchase a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a great time! Please keep in mind that some species may have special regulations or limited seasons. If you’re unsure what to expect, feel free to call for a current fishing report.

Complimentary bottled water is provided. Alcohol is welcome in moderation. Catering is available upon request. Chips and small snacks are included for you and your guests.

I grew up in Stuart, and fishing is my passion. I come from a family of avid fishermen and fisherwoman. A prized possession of mine is a photo of my great grandfather with a sailfish back in 1940. Whether backing down on a Sailfish or throwing a fly at a Peacock bass, I have a weird addiction to fishing. I am truly blessed to get to fish for a living. This will be my sixth year as a full time charter captain and I couldn't imagine doing anything else. Besides captaining full time, I mate, tournament fish, do repairs on boats, surf, and spear fish. My life revolves around boats, water, and family.
