    Great afternoon trip

    4 Hour Trip – Lobster - 2:30 PM • 4 adults

    While visiting the Keys my family booked this trip with Capt Garret. We had never snorkled for lobster and honestly didnt know what to expect. Capt Garret worked patiently with my teenage sons, and by the time our 4 hour trip was done, he had them both snaring bugs like a pro! Couldnt have picked a better afternoon trip, or guide service!

    Very good trip

    6 Hour Trip – Lobster/Sandbar • 6 adults

    Went lobstering with Captain Garrett. Visibility was poor on the Atlantic side so we went to the bayside. He dove with the rest of us rookies and showed us what to do. He worked super hard to get us lobster. Highly recommend him.

What's biting with Islamorada Charter Boats 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.
