Mile Marker 27 Fishing Charters provides personalized fishing charters in the lower Florida Keys from Big Pine Key to Key West. These unspoiled waters hold a huge variety of fish, thanks to the numerous islands and reefs dotted around. Captain Jim Loftus has been fishing for his whole life and has the necessary experience for a memorable fishing trip.
You’ll be fishing aboard a popular and versatile 2025 Coastal Skiff 23' center console that offers a comfortable ride and excellent visibility for fishing for up to 4 guests. Powered by a 140 HP Suzuki engine and equipped with a GPS and fish finder, the boat can reach the fishing spots quickly. She also features an icebox to keep your drinks cool throughout the trip.
Mile Marker 27 Fishing Charters gives you the opportunity to explore a wide range of fishing grounds, from backcountry shallows and flats to reefs and wrecks nearshore. Whether you want to test your skills against Bonefish, Permit, and Tarpon, or spend a few enjoyable hours fishing the reefs and wrecks for Groupers and Snappers, there’s a trip for you.
Captain Jim will provide all the bait, gear, and licenses needed for an enjoyable trip. You will mainly be fishing with live bait, although cut and artificial baits can also be used.
There really is something for everyone aboard with Mile Marker 27 Fishing Charters. So book a trip today and join Captain Jim on the water!

Half day with Capt. Jim
Half Day Trip – Backcountry on July 17, 2023 • 2 adults
I took my mother on a half day trip with Captain Jim. He was an excellent guide, as good as any I have been fishing with (and I have been on guided trips from the northern end of British Columbia to Ixtapa Guatemala). He was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and above all knows where to find fish. You would be hard pressed to find any better guide in the Keys. He even shared his recipe for blackened snapper with me and stuck around for cocktails at the tiki bar.
Whether you are an experienced fly fisherman or a novice looking to have fund you will get you money's worth with Captain Jim.
P.S. He is the preferred guide for Texans visiting Key West.

Full day trip with Cpt. Jim
Full Day Trip – Backcountry on January 5, 2023 • 2 adults
The ONLY reason I gave 4 stars for experience was because the fishing was awful as far as what Cpt Jim says he usually catches with people. We DID catch a lot of fish, but 1 keeper Snapper and that was all. Everything else too small. You can't control where the good fish are! It was a fun trip and we learned a few different fishing setups we can use in the future. Cpt Jim is very knowledgeable and didn't mess around if we stopped at a new spot and weren't catching a lot; he would tell us to reel in and we would move again. Overall, would definitely recommend to anyone, and will book with him again if we go to Marathon in the future.

Half Day Trip – Backcountry on July 31, 2023 • 2 adults
Jim is a great captain who really knows the area and has some amazing knowledge when it comes to fishing. He was very informative from the start of the charter all the way until the end. We filled the cooler fast and had a blast doing it, we will be eating good for days. If your visiting the keys and want to do some fishing I would definitely recommend Capt Jim. Great experience throughout the whole trip, I'll be booking him again during the next tarpon migration!
