Everglades Fishing Charters

Captain Kip is a native of South Florida. Soon after moving to Key Largo in 1980, he received his captain's license and began chartering light tackle and fly fishing enthusiasts into the Upper Keys and Everglades National Park. Kip specializes in targeting bonefish, tarpon, permit, redfish, snook, sea trout and, of course, shark fishing. Most of his charters are sight fishing the flats in a 17-foot custom L & H skiff. The boat is powered by a Mercury 60 horsepower outboard and drafts a mere 6 inches. The only means of propulsion he uses on the flats is a push pole, therefore, no electric motors to spook the fish.

In addition to flats fishing, Captain Kip operates a custom 23 foot Albury Brothers Boat center console powered with a 250 hp Mercury outboard. Albury Brothers Boats are, with out a doubt, the smoothest riding, dry boat of its class. The larger boat will carry up to four anglers comfortably. This boat opens the door to the reef and blue water fishing on the Atlantic Ocean. Yellowtail snapper, grouper, dolphin (mahi-mahi), kingfish, and sailfish are some of the target species.
