About
Hard work, commitment, and sacrifice are how I built the business I operate today. My name is Mike Lewis and I’m the owner/operator of the Eagle Eye. Fishing is my passion and when you fish aboard the Eagle Eye, rest assured that I will do everything I can to ensure you have an unforgettable trip. My goal is to give my clients a great experience and customize the trip based on the needs of my clients. The boat is designed to take advantage of the many different types of fishing the keys has to offer, from offshore, reef, wreck, and gulf fishing. I am very flexible and can cater to the needs of all skill levels from novices to experienced anglers. Children and families are welcome as this is a very family friendly operation.
About the Boat:
The Eagle Eye is a 33’ Palmetto Custom center console. The boat is equipped with top notch gear, electronics, a large t-top that provides adequate shade, and plenty of dry storage for personal belongings. Powered by twin 300 Suzukis, the boat will get you to the fishing grounds and back quickly, especially on calm days. Additionally, having over 80 gallons of livewell space keeps the essential live baits healthy. The Eagle Eye can accommodate up to four anglers. Eagle Eye charters is very family and kid friendly. Please do not use spray sunscreen on the boat as it is hard on gelcoat, vinyl, and aluminum.
