There's a fish with your name on it in Marathon and Wet Tails Charters – Keys Fishing Experience will help you catch it!

Boat is a 31 Stamas, a very sturdy comfortable vessel with (private bathroom) onboard. Wheelchair accessible with plenty of room to move around. Service animals are welcome too!

Wet Tails Charters was created to share our knowledge of offshore fishing in the Florida Keys with you! Not only do we offer charter fishing services, but in our off time, you'll often find us fun fishing with our friends and family. Fishing is in our blood!

Around here, it's common to catch Snapper, Sailfish, Blackfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, King Mackerel, Grouper, and more, depending on the time of year. On these trips, the captain will take you for a short ride into the Great Florida Reef, where you'll be bottom fishing and/or trolling in the crystal clear waters of the Florida Keys to hook your fish.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome!  Some essentials to bring are snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.  ( Bathroom equipped! )

Never Give In
6hr Offshore Big Game on November 9, 20252 adults
Captain Ed and first mate Ian are true professionals that never give up. A beautiful day on the water but no boats were getting any action. Ed and Ian continued to strategize and change approaches and locations until we got on the fish. Even keeping us out a few hours past our booked time limit to make sure we had a great time and caught all the fish we could eat once we got on them. On a day when most captains were throwing in the towel, Captain Ed made it happen! I have fished for multiple years in marathon and finally found the right outift with Wet Tails. Honest, Generous, kind, and great company. I cannot recommend them enough. Well done!

4 Hour Nearshore Reef/Wreck (AM) on November 25, 20255 adults
We have been on a few charters and by far Capt. Ed’s charter was the best. Capt. Ed and First Mate Ian were excellent with information, assisting with the equipment and bait etc. We were hoping to catch enough for a few meals and ending up exceeding that. Capt. Ed picked a great spot and they were biting. I would recommend Wet Tails and Capt. Ed for your charter. We will be back in the near future. Thanks for a great morning on your boat. Marc

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Day on the Water!
10hr Offshore Big Game on October 18, 20253 adults
I booked a half-day fishing charter with Wet Tails Charter and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived at the dock, Captain Ed and the crew were professional, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the necessary gear. Captain Ed knew exactly where to take us—we were reeling in fish within the first 30 minutes! We caught a mix of mangrove snapper, yellow tail snapper, yellow jacks, grouper, and even hooked some tarpon, which was a huge thrill. The crew was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, especially for those of us who aren’t expert anglers. They patiently helped us with baiting, casting, and gave us tips throughout the trip. They even filleted the fish for us at the end and gave some great recommendations for local restaurants that would cook our catch. It was a fun, stress-free, and memorable experience. Highly recommend this charter for anyone looking to enjoy a great day of fishing, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro. Can’t wait to go again next season!

Great 40th bday present!!!!!
10hr Offshore Big Game on August 16, 20252 adults
I took my boyfriend on this trip for his 40th birthday. Even though the captain previously had trouble with his boat, he drove seven hours each way to obtain a boat and make sure we had something for our charter. Captain Ed and his first mate Ian were so incredibly knowledgeable about everything! My boyfriend is a long time fisherman from New Jersey, and even he was impressed by the equipment and their knowledge. I don’t particularly enjoy fishing, but I had a great time. We even saw a pretty big pod of dolphins. I can’t thank them enough for making his 40th birthday surprise such an amazing success!!’

8 Hr Offshore Big Game on August 15, 20252 adults
Brought my dad down for his birthday and we had an absolute blast. We kicked off the day with what we thought was a tuna that nearly spooled us before eventually breaking off. After that we started trolling and picking off mahi one by one and before we knew it we had 8 in the boat. We were feeling pretty good about the day already, but things were just getting started. Not long after, my dad hooked into another mahi. While Ian, our first mate, reeled in the other rod he hooked into one as well. As I was reeling mine in I started seeing flashes of blue and green all around us and that is when we realized we were in the middle of a big school. Dad flipped his into the boat and I left mine in the water to keep the school close. Then all hell broke loose. The bite went off and in the next 15 minutes we put 7 more in the boat, giving us a total of 17 mahi. If my story is not enough to convince you to book with Captain Ed I do not know what is. He will find the fish and keep you on them and both he and Ian will work their tails off to make your trip unforgettable. On top of that they have great taste in music, which makes it even better. I cannot thank you both enough for the memories my dad and I made that will last a lifetime!
