Just Cuz Fishing is a charter operation based in Islamorada, Florida, offering sportfishing, night swordfishing, multi-day offshore trips, and private snorkel and sandbar excursions across the Florida Keys and nearby Atlantic waters.
The fleet operates the vessel Just Cuz for extended trips and provides customizable itineraries to match angler goals and family outings. Trips include targeted night Swordfish excursions that use specialized gear for Atlantic deepwater fishing; Pulley Ridge sportfishing runs of three to five days departing from Stock Island that visit offshore structure, shrimp-boat grounds, and iconic radio towers; and Night Snapper trips departing at 7pm that focus on yellowtail snapper and reef techniques such as flat lining with live bait. Shorter options include Half-Day charters ideal for families and beginners in Islamorada — often billed as the “Sport Fishing Capital of the World” — plus 3/4-day and Full-Day Gulf Stream charters targeting mahi-mahi, tuna, marlin, and wahoo with top-tier gear and guidance.
For anglers seeking pelagic excitement, Shark & Tarpon trips travel from Islamorada toward Bimini and Cay Sal to pursue tarpon and large sharks.
