Triple D Charter offers quality inshore and Backcountry trips on the pristine flats of Islamorada, Florida. Captain Aaron “Nick” Dykes is a stand-up captain who likes to take his guests to the most advantageous spots and make their fishing dreams come true. His skill and knowledge are extraordinary and he is great with kids! You couldn’t really ask for more!

Fishing is done aboard a 24’ South Shore center console, originally built in 2016 with a capacity for 4 guests. Powered by a 300 HP Suzuki engine, this vessel is perfect to access the shallow flats and take open deep bay crossings. The GPS and fishfinder are used to locate the most productive spots, and the super shallow ones are accessed using the wireless trolling motor.

Triple D provides spinning rods, reels, live bait and lures for a successful day out on the water.

The captain will clean, fillet, and bag you catch. He says kids within age are permitted on the trips, but please specify when booking to ensure the correct size of life vest is prepared in advance, or you can bring your own for children under 6.

Explore the productive fishery out of Islamorada with Triple D Charter and have an exciting fishing trip!

    8 Hour Trip, starts at 8:00 AM
    US $1,150
    Fishing Flamingo and East Cape is a one of a kind experience. The waters are rich in sediment with less visibility than what you'd expect out of the Florida Keys, but that definitely doesn't hinder the fishing. Targeted fish here is Snook and Tripletail. The reason for the higher price is fuel to reach these out of the way places.
