The Boat

The EarlyBird is a 43-foot Alex Willis Custom Carolina sport fishing boat with a wide 15-foot beam. She was constructed on the outer banks of North Carolina, which are known for their huge “Carolina Flare” which make them fast, dry, ocean handling, fishing vessels. The Early Bird has an air-conditioned salon which is a must in the heat of the Florida Keys and she has a large cockpit with fighting chair for plenty of fishing room! The EarlyBird is powered by a 660-horsepower single turbo Cummins diesel engine. She is fast and, being that she has only one engine, she is very fuel efficient, making her the most affordable 43’ air-conditioned boat in Islamorada. 

Guests will receive a world class fishing experience the minute they step aboard the EarlyBird at Bud-n-Mary's.

This fishing machine is rigged for kite, troll, wreck, deep-drop, jigging, bottom fishing, live baiting; we do it all! We use top of the line Shimano-Diawa- Penn reels all freshly spooled with Ande line ready to do battle with your fish of a lifetime or load the cooler to the top with our catch. The cockpit has ample room and 2 huge livewells. The salon has 2 a/c units to keep it cool during the heat of the day.

We will make sure you catch fish and treat you and your guests to a catchy experience regardless of your fishing level.

Enjoy a comfortable charter aboard deck of the EarlyBird. We have everything you need to catch fish and a comfortable air-conditioned salon for your group to relax in with a bathroom downstairs inside the cabin.
