Man, what a day.  We arrived at the dock, and Captain Robert’s military influence was apparent.  We were given a quick tour of the boat, life vest locations and he clearly outlined the safety measures we would follow while fishing with him.

A quick and comfortable 25 minute ride in his air conditioned cabin aboard his 47 foot Sea Ray had us feeling like royalty.

We started with drift fishing for Yellowtail Snapper, and in less than 2 hours, the 3 of us had caught our limit.

Next, we hit the big water trolling for Mahi.  I knew it would be tough as the heat index for a solid 2 weeks had been above 105°.  The warm water forces the Mahi to hunt squid at night and just reserve energy during the hot day.  Regardless, the captain worked hard to get us on the fish, and we each had an opportunity to get at least 1 in the boat.

We finally hit “the wrecks” for Amberjack and that’s when the trip became epic.  On our very first attempt to bring one aboard, SOMETHING else grabbed onto our Amberjack.  Big grouper? Shark? Loch Ness?  Who knows.  We fought it for 45 minutes gaining some ground, while the beast then pulled line off.  Captain Robert backed the boat up numerous times attempting to help us bring it in.  But after 45 minutes, the rod finally snapped.  We all let out a moan of disappointment, and I was shocked to hear the Captain yell “Keep Going”!

Gotta tell ya…a shorter rod makes reeling in Moby Dick much harder and it was only a minute or 2 after the rod broke, that the line broke as well.

We LOVED our day on the water, and we will have a “one that got away” story to tell to family and friends FOREVER.  Just wish we could have got a peek at what this thing was.

Thank you so much Captain Robert.  You are a helluva Captain, and we hope to fish with you one day again soon!  Truly we thank you for a GREAT, great day!

We caught just about every species we could catch even though the wind was making it a bit difficult. Captain was prudent and kept us on the reef and back to the bay for the afternoon, so we wouldn’t be in 6’ seas. Thanks Captain, for keeping us safe and putting us on the fish!

If you want to see what we caught, I have a quick couple minute video on YouTube of my daughter catching a Goliath grouper! She’s only 12 yrs old! Our channel is “Our Tribe Outside”

My family of 4, including 2 teens, with some fishing knowledge and experience and my in-laws with no experience had the best time fishing with Captain Robert and mate Gabe. They were very professional and knowledgeable! Teaching us and guiding us to catch so many fish! We booked a 3/4 day trip and got to spend time bottom fishing and then switched gear and troll for Mahi. We finally hooked a fish and it broke off so Captain Robert rerigged the line and turned around to make sure we landed a Mahi to take home! It made everyone’s day! We hope to return and fish with them again!

Captain Robert and his crew worked with us to work around several days that were too windy to go out, which we were thankful for as we scheduled our trip around this fishing excursion. 

Once we got out there the crew was very helpful and patient with us, including two of us who are pretty inexperienced with fishing.  Both caught many fish and had a great time, and never felt stressed at all. 

We ended up with a good haul of fish despite being limited to the bay by the windy conditions.  All four of us were very happy with this outing and are likely to schedule another one with this crew in the future.

My family and I recently enjoyed an incredible 8-hour fishing charter with Infinite Blue Charters out of Marathon, FL, and it exceeded all our expectations. From start to finish, the trip was a fantastic adventure, made even better by the exceptional service and pristine condition of the boat.

We had an absolute blast reeling in a ton of yellowtail, and the highlight was landing an early-season mahi mahi while trolling—an unexpected thrill that made the day unforgettable. The crew knew exactly where to take us and provided expert guidance, ensuring we maximized our time on the water.

What really stood out was the condition of the boat—it was hands-down the cleanest charter vessel we’ve ever been on. Every detail was spotless, which made the experience that much more enjoyable. You can tell this is a family-run, veteran-owned business that takes pride in what they do. The team was professional, friendly, and went out of their way to make sure we had a great time.

Whether you’re an avid angler or just looking for a fun day on the water, I can’t recommend Infinity Blue Charters enough. We’re already looking forward to booking our next trip!
