What Our Customers Say...

 Fabulous Captain and Sportfishing Facility Captain Nick Stanczyk is an absolutely fabulous guide and captain.  He knew where to fish which put onto a giant fish very quickly.  Then he never took his eyes off the line and kept the boat properly placed for the duration of an 8 hour plus fight.  In the end, we landed a record size swordfish of over 757 pounds.  As experienced captains ourselves we cannot say enough positive things about Capt. Nick, his boat or and his crew.  In addition, Bud n Mary’s knows how to treat fisherman of all levels.  The Galley Girls Cafe located at Bud n Mary’s puts together great early am breakfast in plenty of time to make the boat departures and their lunch boxes are excellent as well.  If you are looking for great day trips or a trip of a lifetime Capt. Nick Stanczyk and Bud n Mary’s is the place to go.

The staff was friendly and very helpful with any questions or request for assistance. I stayed at the marina on the "Lucky Lady" houseboat and couldn't have been more satisfied. Fully equipped, clean and comfortable accommodations with a deck overlooking the ocean. I took advantage of their boat rental service and enjoyed a few days fishing in the back water. I look forward to a return trip for Tarpon season and will definitely stay @ the "Lucky Lady" again . . . Highly recommend

 Successful day of fishing We went on the party boat at Bud N Mary’s and had a great day of fishing.  Caught lots of fish- mangrove snapper, yellowtail snapper, mutton, porgy, strawberry grouper. And one of my sons caught a shark so he was super excited about that!  The captain and deck hands are all very helpful and friendly.  Always right there to assist you when you need them.
