Marquesas Keys Fishing Charter

Our journey begins at our marina located on Stock Island on board one of our custom built bay boats. Fueled up and ready to go your captain will greet you and go over the hopes and dreams of the anglers on board for the day that lies before you.

We only offer The Marquesas fishing charter in full 8 hour day for 3 persons or less. The trip out takes roughly 30 – 40 minutes to get to some of the first fishing spots on board our bay boats. We set the day up for what will be working best and what our anglers are anticipating.

Loaded with the best fishing gear money can buy we fish the Marquesas Keys with Spin fishing tackle and fly fishing gear. Your choice. We are always equipped with artificial lures, live bait and jigs for a great shot at all the species we will encounter. 

Flats Fishing

Fishing the flats of the Marquesas is very rewarding. The Marquesas Keys are listed as one of the best places to flats fish for permit. Technical anglers will enjoy the hunt mixed with casting accuracy needed to catch a trophy permit or bonefish and many other species including large barracudas, jacks and cobia in the winter. There are a vast amount of flats in the Marquesas Keys that keep the day interesting and fun. Our custom built bay boats are the best way to fish the flats, however we can set up a technical flats skiff on special request.

Explore These Types Of Fishing

Inshore Fishing: The inside of the Marquesas are like a shallow lake. A group of island surround the body of water called Mooney Harbor. Here there is tons of life. Tarpon, sharks, barracudas, Jacks and permit freely swim through. Our flats fishing boats pole you into location and our bay boats use trolling motors to get you silently to the fish to make your presentation and get you hooked up.

NearShore Fishing: Around the perimeter of the Marquesas Keys we have some amazing nearshore spots that really hold a mixed bag of fish. The light tackle spin fishing enthusiast will enjoy casting artificial lures and catching a fish every other cast. The water is breathatakingly clear and anglers really enjoy watching the fish eat the lure. It’s really a lot of fun. We use our bay boats here as they are able to work in a little deeper waters.

Shallow Wrecks: Scattered all around are the shallow water wrecks that really hold some fun fish. Some are pretty close to the Marquesas and some are a bit of an additional run but well worth it. We find great fishing using top water plugs and fly fishing for large barracudas, jacks and cobia. Year round one never knows when a big school of hungrey (very large) permit will make their way past us offing an opportunity to catch one. Quite often we get double hook ups. Watch out for the bull sharks.

Reef Fishing: Through the years we have realized our bay boats can fish the Marquesas Keys reef on nice days as well as any other boats. This opened a HUGE fishery for us to add to the list of things to do. Using mostly artificials we get into large yellowtail snappers, mutton snapper, Grouper, big jacks and barracudas on light tackle. Certain times of the year we target some palegic species such as sailfish and dolphin. Most are amazed again by the Gin clear water and the amount of life they see on the reef.

All In Wonder Fishing Charter: The All In Wonder fishing charter is a great way to see it all. Try a piece of everything from the flats fishing to the reef in one day. This is a Dream Catcher Signature Fishing Charter. We incorporate a species hunt to help you try and sample as many different species of fish that are available on your day.
