Exact launch location will be confirmed prior to your trip.

Target Species

Depending on the season, we’ll focus on:

  • Tarpon – April through July (prime migration)
  • Permit – Year-round with spring and fall peaks
  • Bonefish – Excellent year-round sight fishing
  • Sharks, barracuda, jacks, and more available seasonally

Booking & Deposits

A $200 deposit is required to reserve your date.

The remaining balance is due on the day of your trip (cash, Venmo, or card).

Cancellations within seven days of the trip may forfeit the deposit unless weather conditions make the trip unsafe.

Weather Policy

The Florida Keys can be unpredictable, but I’ll always prioritize safety and the quality of your experience.

If conditions make the day unfishable, we’ll reschedule or refund your deposit — no questions asked.

The Boat

I run a 17’ Maverick HPX-V II skiff with a 70HP Yamaha 4-stroke outboard, built to quietly pole shallow flats and handle rough runs. It’s stable, fast, and perfectly designed for stalking fish in calm, clear water.
