Glades & Bay Charters

When you book a trip with us, you’ll experience some of the most iconic inshore fishing Florida has to offer. Trips launch from Flamingo Marina, located at the southern tip of Everglades National Park—an incredibly remote and beautiful area known for pristine waters, endless mangrove shorelines, and vast grass flats. Travel distances vary depending on conditions and target species, but most fishing spots are a comfortable boat ride from the marina, maximizing time on the water. Depending on the time of year and what’s biting, we’ll tailor the trip to give you the best possible experience. We may head into the Everglades backcountry to target snook along mangrove shorelines or chase big, migrating tarpon, or we may run out to the Florida Bay flats to sight-fish tailing redfish in clear, shallow water. Every trip is customized around seasonal patterns, tides, and your goals. Our trips are family-friendly and welcoming to all skill levels, from first-time anglers to experienced fishermen. Beginners are encouraged—your guide will provide patient instruction, tips, and support to help you learn and have fun, while more advanced anglers can enjoy technical sight-fishing opportunities. What makes our trips unique is the flexibility and variety Flamingo offers in a single day. Few places allow you to choose between remote backcountry waters and expansive saltwater flats, all surrounded by the untouched beauty of the Everglades. Each trip is personalized, unhurried, and focused on creating a memorable, high-quality fishing experience in one of Florida’s most wild and scenic destinations.

A full-day charter offers the ultimate opportunity to explore the diverse and legendary waters surrounding Flamingo Marina, located deep within Everglades National Park. This remote and unspoiled area is known for its winding mangrove creeks, open bays, and endless grass flats. With a full day on the water, we can comfortably travel farther and adjust our plans as conditions change, allowing us to truly dial in the best fishing available that day. Based on the season, tides, and current bite, we’ll customize the trip to target the most productive waters. We may spend the day in the Everglades backcountry, fishing mangrove shorelines for snook and intercepting large, migrating tarpon, or take advantage of the extra time to explore the vast flats of Florida Bay, sight-fishing for tailing redfish in shallow, clear water. Full-day trips also give us the flexibility to split time between areas or make longer runs to follow prime conditions. Our full-day charters are family-friendly and open to all experience levels, including complete beginners. With more time on the water, instruction is unhurried and tailored to each angler, making this an excellent option for learning, improving skills, or pursuing more technical sight-fishing challenges. What sets our full-day trips apart is the freedom, flexibility, and depth of experience they provide. Spending a full day in the Everglades allows you to slow down, explore multiple fisheries, and fully immerse yourself in one of Florida’s most unique and wild fishing environments. Each trip is fully customized to you, the conditions, and the incredible opportunities this fishery has to offer.
