Captain Billy started fishing in the bass ponds of Maryland when he was a kid. It was his favorite thing to do! He fully dedicated himself to this sport when he moved to Palm Beach County, where he fished competitively both inshore and offshore. Fishing the Florida waters for almost 3 decades got him the experience and knowledge not a lot of captains have.

    One of the best charters we’ve ever done

    8 Hour Trip – Backcountry/Flats • 4 adults

    Everything was spectacular from start to finish. We caught a lot of fish, and he was always attentive to everyone on board, making sure each person had a great experience. What impressed us most was how well he managed to keep everyone happy, even though some of us were doing fly fishing while others were fishing conventionally. He really worked hard throughout the whole trip, paid attention to every detail, and made the experience enjoyable for everyone. We have done many fishing charters throughout our lives, and this is without a doubt one of the best we have ever experienced. On top of that, he is genuinely kind, friendly, and a pleasure to spend the day with. Highly recommended!

    Here fishy fishy!

    4 Hour Trip – Mixed Species - 2:00 PM • 3 adults • 2 children

    Our afternoon trip did not disappoint! My 8 and 11-year old boys kept Captain Billy on his toes, catching lots of Mackerel, a black tipped shark, a cobia, and a puffer fish. We really lucked put with almost non-stop action. We also had a visit from a Tiger shark! The ride out was worth the price of admission, alone. Thank yoy so much for the great afternoon! We took our catch to Lazy Days after for a great dinner. Thank you, Captain Billy, for the memorable experience! We will be back!

    Reported catch:
    Spanish Mackerel
    Blacktip Shark

    Captain Billy is AWESOME!

    4 Hour Trip – Tarpon - 2:00 PM • 2 adults

    Can't recommend Captain Billy enough. if you want a shot at tarpon (or, probably, anything else) in the Keys, he's your guy. 4 hours *flew by as we chatted, pontificated, and covered everything from fly patterns, to current events, to life lessons. Truly a magical afternoon. Thanks, Cap! Hopefully see you in May 2027. ❤️

    Serenity Trip

    4 Hour Trip – Mixed Species • 2 adults

    Billy was a awsome captin! He is five stars and then one more. He suggested a change in what we booked and Im so glad we trusted him. my hisband and I caught fish non-stop. He told me when we started I would become a expert at casting! Well he was right, I caught more fish than my husband lol. We plan to come back next year with our girls! Also his suggestion to have our fish cooked at Lazey days was five star.

    Great experience

    4 Hour Trip – Tarpon - 2:00 PM • 2 adults

    Captain Billy was awesome. He provided all bait and even baited our hooks! I wasnt planning on fishing. This trip was mainly for my husband, but he encourage me to fish as well. I ended up catching more fish than my husband! To anybody looking for a laid back fishing charter, i would reccomend captain Billy. Looking forward to our next trip to the keys and another charter with captain Billy!

    Billy took us out to a great spot to fish. He was able to handle multiple types of fishing easily and was very knowledgeable and fun. We caught our limit for speckled trout pretty easily and had a blast doing it. This was my first fishing charter and I can't wait to go back and book another. Thanks Billy.

    Awesome Trip. Everyone had a blast. All three of our kids enjoyed being out on the water and catching fish. Highly recommend Billy.

What's biting with Billy B Charter Services in Islamorada

Cobia start to appear, sometimes in big schools. The mullet migration brings Sailfish close to the shore, along with the last of the Blackfin Tuna. This is also a great time for Trout and Redfish in the shallows.
