Eric’s son, Dylan, was our captain and was excellent! He gave us options on places to catch fish and then led us to embark on an excellent fishing adventure. We caught numerous Spanish mackerel, just as he predicted. Then he did a great job filleting our catch, so we had a really delicious dinner on Spanish mackerel. We could not have been more happy with our services. Thanks Dylan!

They prepared the fish for us and it didn’t break the bank. Hope to come back and fish with him again.

Extremely knowledgeable with a focus on having a good time.  We fished in many different areas and caught several different species.  It was a great day and I would recommend BLACKWATER charters for all types of fishing in Islamorada.
