Fintastic Fishing Charters is a fishing outfitter based in Islamorada, Florida, offering inshore and bay charters aboard a range of purpose-built vessels.
The company operates three primary trips: the 18' Action Craft Charters, the 22' Tritan Charters, and the 22' Pathfinder Charters. The 18' Action Craft trips focus on targeting inshore species such as tarpon and bonefish aboard a custom-built skiff, and are guided by Captain Mike Patterson with an emphasis on expert techniques and a family-friendly atmosphere. The 22' Tritan Charters run aboard a fully equipped 22' Tritan bay boat and are led by veteran anglers; the vessel is supplied with necessary gear and onboard amenities and guests are asked to bring snacks and drinks. The 22' Pathfinder Charters are offered as an additional boat option.
Trips concentrate on the local inshore and nearshore fisheries around Islamorada and are suitable for anglers seeking tarpon and bonefish opportunities. Equipment and tackle are provided on many departures, allowing guests to come ready to fish without bringing specialized gear. Instruction and guidance are available from experienced captains and crew, helping anglers learn techniques specific to the targeted species while maintaining a comfortable day on the water.
Featured on The Adventure Collective, Fintastic Fishing Charters lists trip options, boat details, and booking information so anglers can choose the right charter for their group size and experience level. Trip durations, seasonal target species, and availability vary; anglers should consult the charter's listing or The Adventure Collective for current schedules and pricing before booking online.
