    Captain Ed and Ian were phenomenal. Ian hustled by keeping our bait on the hook and helped our kids reel the fish in. Captain Ed kept us safe as the storms approached. We caught so many interesting fish and had a delicious dinner with the snapper caught: highly recommend.

    Great fishing in challenging winds! Capt Ed was able to find the fish despite changing winds/currents.

    Fishing with my son!

    These guys know how to put you in fish and have a good time! The captain and first mate were honest and straight shooters.

    The captain and first mate were professional and personable. We caught a lot of yellow jacks- and they were cleaned perfectly. Would book again.

    Great fishing experience.

    Great fishing experience with Captain Ed and Mikey. Would definitely recommend and also repeat. They made our little family vacation just more memorable. He even recommend a local restaurant which would prepare our fresh catch. We can't wait to return.

    Awesome family fun!

    Captain Ed was just wonderful! He was patient & kind with myself, husband & 2 kids (11 & 14). He really knows his fish! We had an awesome day and a great dinner that night! Thanks so much for the memories!

    Great day fishing in marathon

    Wet tails fishing charter was a great experience. We had so much fun fishing and boating. Ed and Mikey worked together as a great team to make sure we caught our limit. They also gave us a great recommendation for a hook and cook experience in marathon.

    Awesome Captain and Crew

    Had a blast on this trip ! The captain and his son went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day … and that we did . I would highly recommend booking with this crew .

    Great day of fishing in Marathon!

    We had a great time on our fishing Charter, the father and son (Captain and first mate) made my wife and me feel like family within a few minutes of meeting them. We caught more that 30 fish of more than 7 varieties, my wife caught 2/3 of them, I think they were giving her lucky bait :) Best thing all is they aren't clock watchers, they were happy if we were happy. We are planning to go out again next month with another couple. Do yourself a favor and book this, you won't be disappointed.
