Bud N' Mary's Fishing Marina

Located an hour and a half south of Miami, on the southern tip of beautiful Islamorada in the Florida Keys, you will find Bud N' Mary's Fishing Marina. Established in 1944 and home to over 40 legendary fishing captains and guides, it is the oldest and largest fishing fleet in the Florida Keys.

Islamorada is known as the Sportfishing Capital of the World, and rightfully so. More world record fish have been caught from our waters than any other location on earth. What facilitates Islamorada's reputation is that the Atlantic Ocean, Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico all surround this island in the central Keys. Every fish that swims in our hemisphere can be caught here.

Everybody who visits Islamorada and The Florida Keys loves the natural beauty of the area. There is no better way to see that than out on the water with your family and friends, with a knowledgeable captain who can take you for an ecotour, snorkeling & diving, for a sunset cruise, relaxing at the beach, sight-seeing, bird watching, or doing a little fishing! Many visitors, especially families with children, would love to do such a thing, but often find that most captains down here run strictly fishing charters.

If you would like an easy day on the water and not spend the money on an expensive charter, then a Florida Keys Ecotour with Captain Rick is your best bet! I run a 20' SeaCraft bay boat, which comfortably can take up to 4 passengers with snorkeling/diving equipment, fishing equipment, or just plain lunch, cameras, and beach bags! I've grown up in The Florida Keys <http://www.floridakeys.com> over the last 25 years, and know much about the history of the area, as well as great places to sightsee, fish, and get in the water. The wildlife in the keys is phenomenal, with a huge variety of different fish and marine mammals, tons of different migratory birds, and other unique creatures such as alligators and turtles. The only living coral reef in the U.S. is found here off of South Florida, and has amazing coral heads and different reef fish. The everglades national park has many different mangrove islands, channels, lakes, and beaches going up through towards the mainland of Florida, and is truly a unique place unlike anywhere else in the world! Many of the different islands that make up the keys are connected by very historic bridges, which hold many different kinds of sea creatures around them as well.
