We had an amazing experience fishing out of Marathon with Big Game Charter and Captain Ariel Medero. He put us on fish all day and made sure we landed plenty, capturing great photos along the way. The boat was very comfortable and well maintained, and the gear was top-notch—everything you’d want for a smooth, successful day on the water. The entire trip was pleasant, relaxed, and truly enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend Big Game Charter with Captain Ariel for anyone looking for a great fishing charter in the Keys

An Unforgettable Fishing Experience with Captain Ariel

If you’re looking for a first-class fishing experience, Captain Ariel is the real deal. From the moment you step on the boat, you can tell you’re in the hands of a true professional who knows the water, the fish, and how to deliver an incredible day on the water.

Captain Ariel is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about what he does. He puts you on the fish, explains what’s happening and why, and makes sure everyone on board—whether beginner or experienced—has an amazing time. His attention to safety, detail, and comfort is top-notch, and his boat and equipment are spotless and well maintained.

What really sets Captain Ariel apart is his attitude. He genuinely wants you to have a great experience, not just catch fish. He’s personable, easygoing, and professional, which makes the trip fun, relaxed, and memorable. This is the kind of charter you talk about long after you’re back on shore.

I’ve fished at least 2 to 3 times a year with Ariel for the last 15 years.  I’ve never even considered fishing with anyone else and never will.  He’s always works very hard to put me on fish and he has always produced fish for me.  If you want a professional who will take care of you and do what is needed to catch fish, Ariel and Big Game are it!

Awesome day on the water with Captain Austin! He’s professional, knowledgeable, and clearly runs a safe, top-notch operation—but still keeps things fun and relaxed. Super patient, great with everyone on board, and he absolutely knows how to put you on fish. We caught plenty and went home with fish for dinner. Can’t recommend Big Game Sportfishing enough! 🎣

Ariel is a local to marathon and knows the water better than most. He always finds the fish! I have been fishing with him for many years and I’ve never been disappointed. He runs a tight ship and is as professional as they come, you will not be disappointed.
