Couples Fly Fishing Trip
My wife and I spent an amazing full day out with Captain Dan fly fishing on Florida Bay in the Everglades! We met just up the road from our hotel in Islamorada at the boat launch and spent the day chasing tarpon and snook! Even though the weather was not the best (pretty windy even for the Keys) Captain Dan got us behind islands and found the fish. His Maverick skiff with a casting platform and custom rail made casting a lot easier compared to my other salt water fly fishing trips in the past. Dan has spent thousands of hours perfecting his guiding skills in the Keys and it shows. In addition to all the fish we also saw manatees, dolphins, spoonbills and rays. Look forward to chasing fish with Captain Dan again hopefully in the near future!

Worked hard to Find Fish
Fishing success can often depend greatly on the weather and day I fished was after cold front moved through and was very windy to start morning. After first spot was slow guide said where he felt best fishing would be was a little out of way for half day charter. I said less fishing time and catching more fish was more desirable and after a long run we had a decent day considering the conditions. I really appreciated the guide being honest and giving me option. He worked very hard to find fish!

Worth the trip!
Great experience. Got me on all the fish I wanted. I’ll book again for sure! The boat, tackle and advice were all top notch. Fished at my pace and needs!

Awesome trip with Captian Dan
Captian Dan was an absolute blast to fish with. Very knowledgeable about the area and the species locally. Not only did he put us on fish but was willing to teach us different techniques to target different areas and species. 100% recommended to any fisherman!

3 Days of the Best Fly Fishing in the Florida Keys
Fly Fishing in the Florida Keys in Key Largo and Islamorada (also in the Everglades) with Captain Dan's guide service, Goldenglare Fly Charters was a blast! We had a chance to fly fish for Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, Jacks and we even spotted a giant Barracuda! This was our first time fly fishing in the Florida Keys and Captain Dan was great at putting us on multiple fish of each species. If you're looking for one of the best Florida Keys Fishing Guides, Dan has to be on the top of your list!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Golden Glare Fishing Charter with Experienced Captain: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Islamorada.
How much does Golden Glare Fishing Charter with Experienced Captain cost?
+
Prices start at $650 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Islamorada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Golden Glare Fishing Charter with Experienced Captain take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Islamorada is not rushed.
Is Golden Glare Fishing Charter with Experienced Captain worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Islamorada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Golden Glare Fishing Charter with Experienced Captain?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Golden Glare Fishing Charter with Experienced Captain suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Golden Glare Fishing Charter with Experienced Captain?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Islamorada can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Islamorada and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Golden Glare Fishing Charter with Experienced Captain start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Islamorada within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Islamorada?
+
Islamorada, FL packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Islamorada by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Islamorada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 4 Hour Private Ecotour and Snorkeling Boat Tour, Private 3-Hour Islamorada Sandbar Tour, Half Day Private Charter. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Islamorada?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Islamorada, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Islamorada?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
