We Let Our Catches Do the Talking
We recently chartered a boat from Tradition Fishing Charters and had an incredible time from start to finish. Captain Miles cleary has great experience in these waters and knows where to take your group to catch a variety of fish. He makes you feel like a friend who he took out on his boat with his entertaining stories and jokes. I can't say enough about how wonderful this charter was. If you're looking for a memorable boating experience, Tradition Fishing Charters is the way to go. We will definitely be back for another adventure!

We had a great experience with Tradition Charters. They put us on fish and we caught the limit of snappers. If there is a type of fish you want to catch they will try and get you on them but if they aren’t biting they will get you on something that is. Crew was awesome and very helpful. Would definitely use tradition charters again

Captain Miles was very communicative about the weather and other conditions leading up to our trip. His crew was hustling and doing all the right things, and he and Miles had a good rapport so the vibe was very enjoyable. We caught a big mess of fish and had a lot of fun in the process. I highly recommend this company and would like to join them again sometime.
