My wife, myself , and my son (pictured above) went out at 8am with Capt. Wayne. He said we are going to fish for Mangrove Snapper. In 2 hours not only did we catch our limit of Mangrove Snapper (5 each), we caught yellow tail, trigger fish and puffer fish. We have been out with other Captains before but Capt Wayne was the best!. 31 years captaining in Marathon , he knows where the fish are, what they eat , when they eat , and what tackle to use. We hope to get back with him in late April... More

VERIFIED

Great trip with our two kids. Caught a ton of snapper, over 20 keepers. Captain filleted them for us and we went across the street to Burdines Waterfront restaurant at the captains recommendation. They cooked the snapper three different ways and we enjoyed with the incredible fresh cut French fries. A highlight of our trip. Would definitely recommend this fishing charter!

Capt. put us on tons of fish! We limited out of Mangrove snapper and filled a cooler with fillets. Wayne is very knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and fun to talk with. Highly, highly recommend him. I hope to book another trip soon.

Our family of four had a great time with Wayne. We caught all types of snappers which were promptly enjoyed for dinner that evening (thanks to Wayne’s fish prep). Definitely recommend Wayne for a great day out!
