If Foolish Pleasure Sport Fishing sounds familiar to you, it’s because you probably saw them on Wicked Tuna. Wicked Tuna is National Geographic’s hottest fishing show and they only partner with the highest caliber Captains and Charter Operations. Choosing Foolish Pleasure Sport Fishing, led by Captain Dale Lisi, was a no brainer!
With over 14 years of professional chartering experience and a lifetime’s worth of fishing knowledge, you’re in qualified hands with Captain Dale Lisi. Though he made his appearance on Wicked Tuna fishing the Outer Banks in North Carolina, he’s intimately familiar with the waters off the coast of Islamorada. With the Gulf Stream being just a stone’s through away from the marina, you’re never too far from the pelagic predators that you came to the Florida Keys to catch!
Foolish Pleasure Sportfishing offers a variety of trip lengths to choose from. The half day trips are popular for the anglers that are short on time and want to get a taste of the “Sportfishing Capital of the World”. The ¾ day and full day trips are highly recommended, this allows Capt. Dale to guide you further off the coast where the true monsters live. The combination of deeper waters, an abundance of baitfish, and less fishing pressure allows the Mahi Mahi, Swordfish, Tuna, White Marlin, Wahoo, Grouper, and Red Snapper to grow to trophy sizes.
If you choose to spend the day bottom fishing, you can expect to hook up on Mangrove Snapper, Cubera Snapper, Hogfish, Yellowtail Snapper, Grouper, Red Snapper, and Amberjack, to name a few of the species. You’ll be targeting pelagic predators while trolling. These species include Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, White Marlin, Blue Marlin, and more.
Charter boat Foolish Pleasure Sport Fishing was fully restored in 2012. She’s powered by duel 425hp Cummins diesel engines with tier 3 emissions. This means no smoke will be billowing in the cockpit and the notorious diesel fumes will be non-existent. Her cabin is equipped with A/C and a Saloon (living room) for you to relax in on your way to and from the fishing grounds. Captain Dale Lisi has hand selected a top notch first mate to be in the cockpit with you while Dale’s captaining from the flybridge. The first mate is included in the trip cost, but a 15-20% at the end of the trip is greatly appreciated.

A bucket list trip, not for the faint of heart. A typical fishing day includes trolling primarily for Tuna, Mahi, Wahoo, as well as Marlin. When it is productive, we do chunk for Tuna and deep drop for Swordfish and Tilefish.
