Early on I started fishing in South Florida and I have been a licensed Coast Guard Captain since I was 18 years old and still in high school. My father being a captain for over 30 years has given me the chance to fish around the world in tournaments and for fun mainly in pursuit of billfish. Having fished around the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America I believe there is no better place to catch a variety of fish than right here in the Florida Keys. My goal is to provide a memorable enjoyable experience for all my customers

    Excellent Captain

    2 Hour Trip – Captain's Choice • 1 adult

    Very knowledgeable and skilled Captain. Easy to chat with and (even though my trip was just two hours) put me right on the fish and we had some good early success. I'm just a beginner but he was very patient, will certainly try and book again for a longer trip.

    Reported catch:
    Tarpon

    Shawn is the man!

    4 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Highly recommend spending a day on the water with Captain Shawn! He’s a great communicator and his fishing enthusiasm + knowledge is next level. He called the day before our trip and said the tarpon were biting… a fish my 15 year old son and I had dreamed about but never landed. Shawn put us on the fish and was really patient with us tarpon newbies, teaching us about tarpon habitat and catching techniques. We caught multiple tarpon (among other species) and my son declared it “the best day of fishing” he’s ever had. We’ll definitely go out with Shawn next time we’re in Islamorada.

    Reported catch:
    Tarpon

    Great Family Fishing Trip

    2 Hour Trip – Captain's Choice • 4 adults • 2 children

    We did a 2 hour sunset trip with our 2 boys ages 12 and 9. Captain Shawn was very knowledgeable of the area. His boat is very comfortable and my kids were reeling in fish left and right. Captain Shawn was very patient with our kids as they are pretty new to fishing. He was cracking jokes and had them feeling comfortable and confident quickly. We seen a crocodile, shark and some manatees as well. Captain Shawn filleted a few of our fish for us and after our trip we went over to Lorelei and they cooked up our fresh catch. The whole experience was a lot of fun and our kids said it was the best part of our trip. We will definitely be coming back for the 4 hour trip next time we are in Islamorada.

    Awesome day in the Everglades

    4 Hour Trip • 3 adults

    Captain Shawn was incredibly knowledgeable and well prepared for our 6 hour trip. Even though we had a late season cold front we were able to catch our limit of Trout. Along the way we caught a Goliath Grouper, Tarpon, a few Red fish, and many more. I can’t recommend Captain Shawn enough. We had such a great trip, we booked him for a full day tomorrow!

What's biting with Prime Time Charters Pathfinder in Islamorada

The fall is the best time of year to fish the flats in Islamorada, and you'll see this in September. With fewer crowds, lots of Bonefish and Permit on the flats, and Snook in the mangroves, you're in for a treat.
