A Lifelong Connection to the Water
Captain Izaak King isn't just another charter captain – he's a second-generation waterman with the Florida Keys literally running through his veins. Born and raised in Marathon, Izaak grew up on the water and earned his Master Captain's license at just 19 years old.
The Early Years
Growing up in a fishing family, Izaak was on the water before he could walk. His father, a respected local captain, taught him not just how to fish, but how to read the water, understand the weather, and most importantly, how to put his customers on fish. "I learned from watching my dad that being a charter captain isn't just about fishing," Izaak says. "It's about creating memories and making sure everyone has an incredible time on the water."
10+ Years of Full-Time Experience
For over a decade, Izaak has been running charters full-time in the Florida Keys. This isn't a part-time gig or weekend hobby – it's his passion and his livelihood. Day in and day out, he's on the water studying fish patterns, finding new spots, and perfecting his craft. This dedication shows in his results and the loyalty of his customers.
Master Captain's License
Earned his Master Captain's license at age 19, one of the youngest ever in the Keys. This license allows him to operate vessels up to 100 tons and demonstrates his commitment to safety and professionalism.
Local Knowledge
Born and raised in Marathon, Izaak knows every reef, wreck, and secret spot. This local knowledge, passed down through generations, is what sets him apart from captains who learned these waters as adults.
Customer Focused
"My job is to make sure every person on my boat has an amazing experience," says Izaak. His approach combines expert fishing with genuine hospitality, creating lasting memories for his guests.
Wreck Specialist
Wreck fishing is Captain Izaak's specialty. "I love the challenge and the fight these fish put up," he explains. His knowledge of wreck locations and techniques is unmatched in the area.
Captain Izaak's Philosophy
"Every trip is different, and every customer is unique. Some people want to catch their first fish ever, others want to land a trophy. Some families just want to spend quality time together on the water. My job is to read what people need and deliver an experience they'll never forget."
