An incredible, curated charter experience - We did a 4 hour charter and could not have asked for a better experience. We caught so many incredible fish - yellow tail jacks, Spanish mackerel, snapper, hog fish, and more! Some of the largest and most unique fish we’d ever caught! The father/son duo of Captain Ed and first mate Mikey were super knowledgeable about the area and where to fish for different species. I don’t love baiting my own line, and never needed to - Mikey always had bait at the ready. When our time was up, he had our catch filleted in no time. They even recommended a local restaurant that prepared our catch for dinner. We loved our sea to table experience and will definitely be booking with them again on our next trip to Marathon! Highly recommend.

Best Charter for Families! Lots of fish 🐟 - Fantastic! Best fishing charter we have ever been on. In fact, the first trip was so good we booked a second Charter during our trip . Captain Ed and his first mate Mikey (son) were very friendly and knowledgeable in our trip. Great experience for families! My boys wanted to catch lots of fish and my husband wanted to catch some fish that would put up a fight Captain Ed delivered on both! Despite weather conditions, they put us right in the best places to catch what we wanted. He even slowed the boat down to have the dolphins play in the wake for us. Captain Ed give us some restaurant suggestions that served hook and cook options that were amazing with our catch. He even recommended how we should pack our fish to keep them frozen on our flight home. We were able to bring lots of fish home to share with ourfamily when we got back. Don't wait to book your fishing excursion with Wet Tails Charters, you don't want to settle for another company! We will definitely refer our friends and when we are in the area and we will book again with Wet Tails Charters!! Thank you Captain Ed and Mikey for a great experience!

A great day in February - Had a great trip catching yellow jacks and sierra macs with Captain Ed and mate Mikey. They are both knowledgeable and extremely helpful and certain know where and when the fish are biting. The equipment provided was high quality and it's clear that they quickly assess your skill level and respond accordingly. We'll be fishing again with them in the future.

Exciting fishing for family - Captain Ed and first assistant Mikey were very knowledgeable and patient with us. I took my 2 sons (14 and 11) and father in law a few days before Thanksgiving. We all had a blast. We trolled for Mahi on the first portion of the trip about 10 miles from shore and 400 foot depth. We caught 4 Mahi (lost one as we were reeling) and then headed to 7 mile bridge and caught several jacks, snapper, and other fish. The trip lasted from 8-145. They cleaned the fish for us and we made delicious fried fish tacos the same night. I would highly recommend Captain Ed and We Tail charters.

Amazing day on the water! - Everything about this trip with Wet Tails Charter was excellent! Ed and his sons showed my husband and I a wonderful time! They were fun to be talk to and very knowledgeable about all the fish we caught. If you are thinking of doing a fishing trip in the Keys, look no further! The rates were very reasonable for a private charter and you will catch fish! Ed will even recommend where you can take them so they can cook them for you. We ended up going to Island Fish Company, but we also have enough fish for a second night too! Ed will have plenty of ice, but bring a small cooler with you to take the fish home. We will definitely book with Wet Tails again!

Great day on the water! - Captain Ed and his son Mike (the Mate/basketball player/traveler/fun guy!) took us out to the seven mile bridge. Although it was windy, they did a super job putting us on fish! They are not only entertaining to fish with, they are friendly and courteous! They really cared about our trip and we learned alot about the area! Thanks for a great time in Marathon!

Top of the line charter. No need to go anywhere else - They did an awesome job putting us on the fish. Could not ask for a better guide and the Capt and his son went above and beyond and made sure we had an awesome time. We are differently going to book them next year.
