A great fishing experience out of Marathon! - We had a wonderful afternoon on board the ship with Ed and Michael! They were very helpful and kind. They provided all the gear and bait as well as helpful tips. We fished in two different locations and along the way we saw dolphins, two sea turtles and a manatee! Our fished were cleaned for us and Ed recommended a place to eat that would cook what we caught.a It was great and we would totally do it again in a heartbeat!

Wet Tails is Number One - Captain Ed and Mikey are a Great Team! We highly recommend this private charter. Both Captain and Son are very personable and attentive to passenger comfort. And, we hope Mikey catches that record breaking Yellow Jack!

Family Charter Trip - It was a great overall trip. Captain Ed and his son Mike did a great job with us. It was windy so we could not go to the Atlantic side to the reef, but Captain Ed took us to the Gulf side and did everything he could to put us on the fish. Me and all the kids landed fish and had a great time. We plan to come back to do a an offshore trip with them.

Great day fishing! - 5 out of 5!!! What a great day fishing! Captain Ed and first mate Ian were the best. We had three super rookie fisherman and one more experienced fisherman in the trip and they were great with all of us! Both Capt. and Ian were helpful, attentive and entertaining. We can’t wait to take another trip with them.

Private Charter in Marathon FL - If you're looking for the best private fishing charter experience, look no further than Captain Ed! From start to finish, he made our trip absolutely unforgettable. His knowledge of the best fishing spots, patience with beginners, and passion for the sport made the whole experience fun and successful.
The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and Ed went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. We caught plenty of fish, enjoyed beautiful views, and even learned some pro tips along the way. Whether you're an experienced angler or a first-timer, Captain Ed makes sure everyone has a fantastic time.
I highly recommend booking with Ed—he’s the real deal! Can’t wait to go again!

Great fishing charter for all levels! We'll be back! - I booked a 4 hour charter with Capt. Ed for 5 Adults (one Dad and four college guys). Our experience level was from zero to average. There was more than enough space, gear and supplies. Capt Ed and his son Michael helped keep everything moving and gave everyone tips and directions on how to land fish. We had a great time and would do it again anytime. Easy access to the docks and a great location on Marathon Key.

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.
