What a great beginner fishing trip! My fiancé’s first time on the boat and they got her on some fish fast! We had a blast!
We had a great fishing trip with Captain Izaak and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly charter in the Keys. We have three kids, so when booking the trip my biggest request was plenty of action to keep everyone engaged, and Captain Izaak absolutely delivered. He was incredibly patient with the kids, easygoing, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. We ended up catching 24 yellowtail snapper, which kept the rods bent and the kids excited all morning. Captain Izaak shared great information throughout the trip, helped everyone feel comfortable, and created a relaxed atmosphere where we never felt rushed. He filleted our catch when we returned to the dock and we cooked the snapper that same day, and it was some of the freshest, most delicious fish we've ever had. If you're looking for a captain who is great with families, knows how to put you on fish, and genuinely wants everyone to have a great time, Captain Izaak is your guy. We'll definitely be booking with him again on our next trip to Marathon.
We had a terrific experience with captain Isaac. He communicated with me several times before the trip. Getting to his boat was easy and safe. We felt comfortable, welcomed and safe for 6 people. He was terrific and seamlessly helped 6 of us with reels, baiting, and procuring our catch. We caught over 30 fish! He even filed them at the dock and we got bonus shark feeding frenzy show at the dock. We will definitely hire him again.
Capt Izaak was the man! We caught our limit of mangrove snapper and threw a bunch back. Also caught a Spanish mackerel and a bunch of other species! Highlight of the day the boys caught a 8 foot bull shark that took about 30 mins to get in! Capt Izaak is very professional, kind and knows exactly what he is doing! We highly recommend and if we come back to Marathon, we will be sure to book with him again!
mostly yellow tail a nice snapper and some other fish this was kind of a trip for my twin grandsons and grand daughter they caught most of the fish! we saw two sea turtles and the captain let us see black tail sharks on a feeding frenzy. He was very knowledgeable about some of the history of the area. if you are booking give him a call!
Captain Izaak put us on the Mangrove and Yellow Tail right away. Even pulled in a Barracuda at the end of the trip.
