Linda D Sportfishing

Linda D Sportfishing is a Key West legend, established in 1938 by Captain Bill Wickers Jr. as the Wickers family followed the fishing heritage of their grandfather and great-grandfather, making them one of the oldest continuously operating fishing charter families in the Florida Keys. Now led by fourth-generation Captain Billy Wickers at Dock 19 & 20 at Garrison Bight Marina, the fleet consists of the Linda D IV — a 40-foot offshore open cabin sportfishing boat — and the Linda D V — a 40-foot air-conditioned twin-engine diesel with full galley — both custom-built for deep sea and offshore adventures accommodating up to six anglers on half-day (8 AM–noon or 1–5 PM), three-quarter-day (7:30 AM–1:30 PM), and full-day (7:30 AM–3:30 PM) charters. Linda D Sportfishing has held the award for Best Charter Fishing Boat in Key West and has maintained the #1 record for most catch-and-release marlin and sailfish in Key West since 1990, having hosted notable guests including Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Curt Gowdy of American Sportsman, and Nashville Network's Celebrity Outdoors. All bait, ice, fishing tackle, and fishing licenses are furnished, with children welcome and senior discounts available.
