Islamorada Charter Boats – Houseboat 

Join Islamorada Charter Boats for an unforgettable 3-day, 2-night fishing adventure deep in the backcountry of Everglades National Park. This unique trip includes two full days and two half days of fishing while staying aboard our fully provisioned 42-foot houseboat mothership.

The houseboat serves as your comfortable home on the water and remains docked throughout your stay. Each day, you'll head out to the fishing grounds aboard our 18-foot Hewes Redfisher before returning to the houseboat to relax, enjoy your meals, and spend the night.

After breakfast, we’ll fish our way back toward Islamorada, targeting opportunities along the route before returning to the dock.
