Chartered 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.

Bud and Mary's Marina is an icon in Isla Morada they have the greatest Fleet of Charter fisherman in all of South Florida if you are looking to Charter a boat you can't go wrong at bud and Mary's Marina. They also have a great variety of gear and a variety of shirts and clothing. There is a small restaurant next door for picking up breakfast before you go on your Charter. Many of the famous record-breaking fisherman keep their boats at bud and Mary's Alex Adler who happens to be one of the greatest fisherman of all time keeps his boat here and we fish with him quite often he always seems to get the limit for us we like to bring home lots of mahi mahi so that's why we come to Bud and Mary's to Charter our boats.

Well we got this place as a recommendation to cook our fish that we just caught! Great and staff super nice. The Conch Fritters were delicious. Our Snapper was cooked in a sautéed way. But be specific on how you want to cook "your" fish. We thought it was sautéed but actually came sautéed in a battered egg covering. We just wanted the delicious fresh fish taste which didn't happen.
Cole slaw God and basic salad was fine.
Would recommend this place. Good service, good fritters and of course my fish.
