Good Karma Sportfishing

Fishing Key Largo, Tavernier and Islamorada with Good Karma Sportfishing My name is Captain Ryan and I take extreme pride in offering a high end charter fishing experience. Good Karma is the only 24ft boat charter boat in the United States equipped with computer controlled gyroscope called a Seakeeper that eliminates most boat "rock and roll", including the fatigue. It is comparable to fishing on dock in the middle of the ocean! We are based at Tavernier Creek Marina and provide first class fishing gear, electronics and a customized charter boat. Good Karma offers private Key Largo, Tavernier and Islamorada fishing charter trips. This is not an open boat and we do not offer split charters. We are limited to 4 clients. I cater to all levels of fishing experience and work very hard at making sure your Florida Keys fishing charter is action packed. Capt. Ryan

This is a free visit that’s so worth it! It’s a great cause rehabilitating injured birds. Many of them are life long residents. They have a green parrot, Fred that can talk and Blue Jay, Flock that has so much personality. There are variety of birds: owls, seagulls, doves, woodpeckers, blue jays, hawks, turkey vultures, and parrot. My kids absolutely loved it. Be sure to leave a donation!
