Wet Tails Charters

Wet Tails Charters is a Marathon-based fishing charter service founded by Captain Ed Traylor, who operates out of Captain Hook's Marina at 11833 Overseas Highway in Marathon with a family passion for the Florida Keys fishery that extends well beyond the charter business. The charter runs a 31-foot Stamas — a sturdy, comfortable vessel with a private onboard bathroom and wheelchair accessibility — offering 4, 6, 8, and 10-hour fishing trips for up to four anglers targeting yellowtail snapper, mutton snapper, mangrove snapper, grouper, hogfish, Mahi Mahi, blackfin tuna, wahoo, sailfish, swordfish, king mackerel, and barracuda across the reef, wreck, nearshore, and offshore waters of Marathon. Wet Tails Charters has earned a 4.9-star rating across 133 reviews on FishingBooker, with guests consistently praising Captain Ed and first mate Mikey's hard work, deep local knowledge, and genuine enjoyment of the fishing craft. All water, bait, tackle, fishing licenses, and fish cleaning are included in the charter price, with service animals welcome aboard.
