Boats and departures
Offshore and inshore trips use a 31-foot Contender center console. Everglades outings use a 17-foot Maverick flats skiff and generally launch from Flamingo Marina. Those departure points are far apart, so confirm the selected trip and driving directions before booking.
Published rates
Half-day trips are listed at $800, three-quarter days at $1,000 and full days at $1,200. Daytime swordfishing is $1,700. A full Everglades day is $850 for up to two people. Credit cards carry a three-percent surcharge. Confirm the current price and actual hours.
Fishing opportunities
The operator advertises offshore sailfish and swordfish, plus special night trips for tarpon and snook when conditions suit. Everglades targets include snook, tarpon, redfish, jacks, seatrout and black drum. Fly anglers can discuss a skiff outing and appropriate tackle with Wylie.
Included gear and booking
Rods, reels, terminal tackle and required fishing-license coverage are included. Ask about bait, ice, food, drinks, park access and passenger limits for the larger boat. Request deposit, cancellation and weather terms along with the final meeting time.
