Everything you need to know about our charter trips in Marathon
What types of fishing trips do you offer?
We offer a variety of fishing experiences to match your interests and skill level. Our most popular trip is reef fishing, perfect for beginners and families, targeting yellowtail snapper, grouper, and other tropical species on the third-largest barrier reef in the world.

Every trip is customized to your preferences and the current fishing conditions.
How long are your fishing trips?
Our standard trips are 4 hours, which provides plenty of time to reach productive fishing grounds and enjoy great action. We can also arrange half-day (6 hours) and full-day (8+ hours) trips for anglers wanting extended time on the water or targeting specific species that require more travel time. The 4-hour trip is our most popular option and perfect for families, first-timers, or anyone wanting a taste of Florida Keys fishing without committing a full day.
How much does a charter fishing trip cost?
Our 4-hour reef fishing trip is $750 for up to 6 anglers, making it an excellent value when split among a group. This price includes all fishing equipment, tackle, bait, ice, fishing licenses, fish cleaning, and professional instruction from Captain Izaak King. Half-day and full-day trips are priced accordingly. We recommend booking in advance, especially during peak season (December through April), to secure your preferred date and time.

What a fantastic trip with Captain Izaak! He took us out to the reef and every time we threw in a line we caught something--quickly! Yellowtails, mutton snapper, cero, and a grouper (not in season so we threw it back). He's extremely helpful with tips for those new to fishing, safety conscious, and a whole lot of fun. Highly recommend.

Went on a fishing trip with Captain Izaak with a group and it was absolutely the highlight of our trip to the Keys. Izaak is incredible at what he does. Not only is he an expert fisherman, but he is also so knowledgeable about the Keys, and incredibly friendly. My crew were all newbies when it comes to fishing but he was a great teacher, and each one of us caught multiple yellowtail snapper. The fish were abundant! I would book this trip with Izaak every time I am in the Keys, no question!

We had a half day scheduled for four people. The owner of the business called us and gave us warning of potential strong winds and large swells on the day we were scheduled to go. While we were very excited to go fishing, we headed the warning and canceled the trip. The owner didn’t have to do that. He could have taken us out to have bad weather and potential for crappy fishing and a low probability of catching anything just to get paid!! He didn’t!!! I can’t begin to explain how much this young man has impressed me!! I fully support this man’s business and implore guests to utilize this honorable man. He is most certainly not in it for just the money!! He was truly genuine and I will use him on my next trip and tell others to as well!! Thank you Captain for putting guests as your top priority!!
