5 star ratingEpic bucket list fishing trip! Went fishing on the Broad Minded with Capt Mike Varney. There are no words to describe how excellent the day was!

2 keeper swords
3 dolphin
2 queen snapper
Several small, but tasty, tuna
And a couple of good smokers

Capt Mike is fantastic- he knows the fishing spots, and he’s very pleasant. All you have to do is listen to him and follow instructions and you will have an amazing day.

We were targeting Swords and made sure that we booked the trip on the appropriate days for prime swordfishing. If your target is a swordfish, please do your homework.

Highly highly recommend this boat and this Capt.!

5 star ratingMiss Islamorada 300 fish caught A great day on the water. Crew was kind and professional. Over 30 people on the boat and there was room to fish. A little overhang provided some shade. Capt went to three spots and rotated positions so everyone got a chance to fish off the back for yellowtail. Boat pulled in over 300 fish and my daughter and I walked away with 10 mangroves and three yellowtail, best drift boat experience for me personally! Great job to the capt and crew of Miss Islamorada!

5 star ratingChartered a 1/2 day offshore trip. Captain and mate very professional. Whole operation is top notch. Ordered breakfast the day before and a box lunch to take out on the boat. With the marina located 5 miles from the fishing you get a real bang for your buck. The run out took 15 minutes then we started fishing. Weather was very nice and we caught 7 fish. Unfortunately the 2 black Grouper we managed to get out of their holes are out of season until NEXT week. Saw a sailfish but wasn't interested in the live bait we cast in front of him. I highly recommend Bud n' Mary's. The Stanczyk family run a fantastic business. They take care of the customers at any cost.
