Split charters in Islamorada let solo anglers and small groups book seats on a shared 6 or 8 hour offshore trip with DirtyBoat Charters out of Robbie's Marina, so you split the cost instead of booking the whole boat.
A split charter gets you out on the Islamorada deep sea without paying for the whole ship. We cap the crew at four anglers. After years of running these trips, that is the number that keeps everyone in enough reel time and sends people home with a real haul. DirtyBoat runs split trips that fish like private charters.
Although we hold a United States Coast Guard license for as many as six passengers, limiting the headcount creates a premium experience. You aren't just a passenger; you're part of the crew.
What It Is
A shared offshore trip where you book a spot instead of paying for the whole boat.
Who It's For
Solo anglers, couples, and small parties who want real offshore fishing at a lower cost of entry.
What To Expect
A maximum of 4 anglers, quality reel time, tournament-grade gear, and a crew that fishes hard instead of overcrowding the deck.
