“Fishing on Ms Islamorada”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 16, 2013 NEW

I have been coming to Bud n Marys on and off for 44 years. I have also fished on most of the party boats on the east coast and this boat is the best on the east coast. Captain Ben and the mates know how to put you on the fish and you will catch fish!!! Unlike other party boats... More

“Sport fishing”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 13, 2013

Great off shore fishing on the Man of War excellent captain and mate got us cobia, permit, dolphin and a sailfish! Very good day on the real deal bonefish and permit flats fishing. Bill Bassett could find the fish and worked hard in tough wind to get us shots.

We appreciate the great review and you're honesty. Fishing will always be fishing, there will be action packed trips as well as slow trips, but most importantly we are glad to hear how much you enjoyed fishing with Capt. Tim! I'm sure next time you go out you'll make it for it and catch a couple of big Tarpon! Bud... More

“So far Awesome!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 24, 2013

As a guide myself I drove down from Maine and last minute decided to book a backcountry tarpon trip with my wife. The first place we went to (a rather famous outfitter in these parts) they were no help at all, held a chip on their shoulder, and said head down the road to Bud and Mary's. I work retail... More

“Shark fishing with Captain Nick on the BNM Charter-best charter!”

I highly recommend Captain Nick Stanczyk and BNM Charters for a great sport fishing experience. I grew up in South Florida, and have been out on a lot of fishing charters, Captain Nick and his mate Matt are by far the best I have ever experienced! Nick took my wife, friend and I out for a day of shark fishing.... More

We visited Bun N Mary's in November 2012. The accomodations were very nice, an the staff was more than helpful. The planning of the trip was excellently handled. We first went inland with John Johansen and had a fantastic day. Captain "Johnny" knows his "stuff" and is also a very cool dude. Then we spent two days on the BnM... More
