The trip is family-friendly and suitable for beginners, with Ray providing guidance tailored to your experience level throughout the day. For the best experience, book at least a week in advance, especially during peak seasons.

Other customer memories from this trip
Ray's specialized flats boat is perfectly designed for the shallow waters around Florida City, featuring a remarkably shallow draft that allows access to skinny water areas where other boats simply can't go. The stable platform provides comfortable fishing positions whether you're sight casting from the elevated casting deck or preparing to step off for wade fishing. With ample storage for gear, coolers for your catch and refreshments, and cushioned seating for rest between spots, the boat combines functionality with comfort. The quiet trolling motor enables stealthy approaches to fish-holding areas without spooking your targets, while the push pole allows for precise positioning in the shallowest zones where the big fish often lurk.
