If you’re looking for an incredible charter fishing experience out of Marathon, Florida — look no further than The Huntress! From start to finish, Captain RD and Mate Nolan delivered an absolutely top-notch trip. Captain RD’s knowledge of the local waters is unmatched. He put us right on the fish within minutes, reading the conditions and moving us at just the right times to keep the action going all day. You can tell he’s been doing this for years — every move was confident, precise, and professional. Mate Nolan was equally impressive — friendly, hardworking, and constantly making sure we were taken care of. He had fresh bait ready, rigs perfect, and gave great pointers that helped even the beginners in our group reel in some serious catches. Between the two of them, the energy on the boat was fantastic — professional yet fun, and full of laughs. By the end of the trip, we had a cooler full of fish and smiles all around. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking for a memorable day on the water, The Huntress with Captain RD and Nolan is the trip you want. We’ll definitely be booking again next time we’re in the Keys!

Captain Goodman and first mate Nolan were the best possible choice for our fishing charter. We were amazed by their professionalism, and their knowledge of fishing. We highly recommend them and we personally will not risk hiring anyone else but them the next time we go!! We hit our mahi limit in three hours and also caught a variety of different species including snapper, cobia, tuna, and barracuda!! Thank you guys for the great experience and adventure!!

My son and I just got back from a trip with Capt. Goodman and his first mate Nolan, can’t say enough good things about the trip, when we showed up at 6:30 this morning they were already hard at work prepping for our journey and then it was nothing but fun and fish the whole day, we made our Mahi limit by noon and then fished some wrecks for some different species of fish after, which was also a blast!!! Highly recommend “Hooking” up with these guys if you want the best experience ever out of Marathon Key!!

If you’re in Marathon, look no further for a fishing charter! Captain RD is the best, most patient and knowledgeable fishing captain out there. He made our day so special, and we had a blast! We caught so many fish, and even helped the kids reel in some big ones. We can’t wait to book the Huntress again - such a fun day, on a beautiful boat!

Went on an offshore mahi charter with RD and Bobby. They knew where to take us an how to find and get fish. It was so great to have 5 or 6 fish at a time on lines all at once. Bobby running around on the deck and RD doing color commentary and directing from the tower. They go out when not many other boats can go out. They were so patient with novice fisherman and helped us have an absolutely great day on the water. When we are in the Keys again well definitely book again.nnLoved the controlled chaos!

What a trip...nIt is impossiblee to overhype the friendliness and expertise of the Huntress crew.nRD put us right on the most fun and tasty fish possible. There was action, there was humor, and there was plenty of opportunity to learn about the local fish and wildlife. nYou canu2019t help but leave with a greater appreciation of the Keys wildlife and Conch Culture. nnSave yourself the time of further u201Cresearchu201D and book the Huntress and RD right now. nnI will never fish with another captain.nnThis is your opportunity to enjoy a better vacation.
