5 star ratingFabulous 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.

5 star ratingI'm still going to give Bud & Mary's party boat five stars because I love the marina, the captain and the party boat itself 100% but for the first time in 7 to 8 years that I have been going on this boat I was a little disappointed with the crew. Ive never felt like they played favorites until yesterday. There was a particular customer that is also a regular and he and his family we're treated like royalty and others not so much. One of the other guest from out of town and I had a long conversation about it. It was definitely clear to all the other guest as well. I won't stop going on that boat because as I said I really like captain and love Bud n Mary's. My son worked in the service industry for years so I believe in tipping but I'll tip according to the way I'm treated as well.

4 star ratingBud 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.
