Owned and operated by the same Captain since 1976, who has spend most of his adult life fishing the waters of the Florida Keys. This is a professional captain, not some retired or independently wealthy wantabee who bought a boat and became a captain with his checkbook. Not a business owned by someone who hires a crew to run the boat but one run by someone who loves what he has done for longer than most have been in town. Look Here!
In business for over 34 years, same boat and same captain since 1976. We offer reasonable rates and a top notch crew. This is not a business owned by some independently wealthy, retired or relocated person, the captain is not a hired hand, this is a professional captain with a lifetime of experience fishing the Keys who owns and operates his own boat. We want to take you fishing, this is all we do, all year, every year, for the last 34 years! The RESTLESS TOO is a 1964 34 foot Hatteras powered with twin John Deere diesels (we use biofuel, it has no diesel fumes), top quality tackle and a vast array of modern electronics. You will catch fish! And have fun doing it with our friendly professional crew. Our rates are much less than the typical charter in the Florida Keys but our catching isn't. No one wants to catch fish more than we do! Come get in on the fun! If you need more than one boat for your group we can arrange that too with other owner operated vessels. If you prefer a larger boat (i.e. more expensive) I will be happy to recommend other good captains.
Sailfish season is almost here! October until May
CALL or write me to book a trip (305-304-4422) for the light tackle experience of a lifetime. Last season bought more multi fish hookups than usual. We have lots of good dates still open.

"Reasonable rates and a friendly professional crew on a classic 1964 Hatteras 34' Sportfisherman."
Capt. Robert has over 34 Years of Fishing the Restless Too full time in the Florida Keys....
Sailfish abound in the Atlantic water off the Florida Keys from sometime in September until about May. We specialize in catching these fish on live bait using light spinning tackle. Captain Robert Mathias has been fishing the Restless Too for Sailfish for over thirty four years. Live bait has proven to be the most productive, exciting method for catching these magnificent billfish in the Florida Keys. Most of the time you will actually see the Sailfish before it eats the bait. Often we do sight fishing which is looking for sailfish swimming in shallow water and chasing bait showers. When the sailfish are spotted we cast a live bait at them! This is the most exciting method of sailfishing you will ever experience! Often the fish will be only a few feet away from the boat and you will see the sail go up and see it chasing the bait before it actually catches it! These fish are lit up in colors that you have to see to believe. We use 12 to 20 pound spinning tackle so it isn't strength, but technique that's involved. Even children can handle this tackle. We have guided many folks to catch their very first billfish, often on the first charter they have ever been on. The goal is to have a good time and teach you what you need to know to hook and catch your own sailfish. Our seasoned crew will explain exactly what you need to do catch these beautiful fish. It is an experience that you will never forget! To book a charter call 305-304-4422 or email the Captain. Our rates are some of the most reasonable and the Restless Too, a classic 34' Hatteras built in 1964 and refitted in 2005, is as seaworthy a vessel as they come. She is powered by twin John Deere diesels that do not produce any harsh diesel fumes. We are now burning biodiesel fuel which has as a very slight odor like you might smell down wind of a McDonalds! We welcome any questions you might have. We have many dates open for charters in Islamorada. We are presently docked at the famous Whale Harbor Marina, MM 83.5 in beautiful Islamorada, Florida, Sportfishing capital of the world!
