The warm, tropical climate and the outstanding beauty of the Florida Keys attracts visitors from around the world and Fish Finder adventures is here to show you why. Join us and discover the area’s long and rich fishing tradition, as you go after some prized creatures in stunning waters.

Who better to show you around than a passionate, experienced angler? Captain Mark Sampson has been working in the recreational fishing industry since he was young, and has now been running charters since 1987. He knows exactly what makes a successful trip, and can’t wait to show you the riches of the Keys.

Step aboard the “Fish’n Fly”, a 17’ Maverick flats skiff, designed and rigged specifically for shallow water fishing. The boat is fast and quiet, equipped with a push pole and electric motor to allow you to sneak within casting range of even the spookiest fish. Up to 2 anglers are welcome aboard to fish areas inaccessible to many other boats.

Sight fishing the flats is a combination of fishing and hunting, as the angler stands on the bow, searching the shallow waters for a fish before firing a cast. While the waters may be "skinny," the fish are anything but! Get ready to come into contact with huge Tarpon, enormous Sharks, Barracuda and a host of other gamefish.

Join us in !arch or April to chase Tarpon, Bonefish, Sharks, Permit, Jacks, Barracudas, Redfish, Snook and countless other species that thrive in the shallow waters of the backcountry flats.

In between fish bites, you’ll explore waters full of sea turtles, coral, sponges, jellyfish, as you explore the mangrove islands full of tropical plants and stunning birdlife. Come and discover the unique and stunningly beautiful ecosystem of Florida’s shallow water backcountry.

Fish Finder Adventures promises you an all-rounded fishing adventure to discover the incredible beauty and rich history of the Florida Keys. Come aboard and see for yourself!
