CAPTAIN BRAD PICARIELLO
​
The Picariello Family has grown up in Marathon, FL since the 1960’s and have been in the Commercial & Charter Fishing business since the 70’s.
Winning many Tournaments over the North Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico; Sailfish, Marlin, Tarpon and many others, the family is well known and regarded as such. My father Joe Picariello a WW2 Hero gave me a gift of fishing & making people happy, and to this day I do this to the best of my ability, making him proud. The family business now has 5 kids; Todd, Dylan, Isabella, Saraha, and Luca. My oldest son Todd Picariello is a 100grt Master Captain and runs fishing charters. The rest are to follow. We are looking forward to making a lasting impression, an incredible fishing experience for you and your family.

Our Fishing Destinations
The Florida Keys is a beautiful location to catch some of the finest fish in the world.
Fish the reefs and wrecks for yellowtail, mangrove, and mutton snapper, along with grouper, mackerel, and barracuda. With its beautiful coral reefs, Marathon is directly in the middle of 170 mile long natural reef.
Offshore, troll for Gulfstream pelagics such as sailfish, dolphin fish, and wahoo. The Marathon West Hump rises from depths of 1,100 feet to a peak of 480 feet, an underwater platform that is a veritable dinner table for gamefish, like blue and white marlin, blackfin tuna, amberjack and sharks.
Marathon’s tarpon fishing is explosive, and one of the most action-filled ways a novice angler can catch a large fish.
Mahi Mahi with its beautiful colors and reel screaming runs is of the best table fair fish that anglers from around the world come to catch !
​
Marathon’s Gulfside is shallower and wide open, creating an entirely different style of bay fishing, but the perfect choice for family fun fishing if offshore waters are too rough.
​
Whatever style of fishing you choose, remember to be sensitive to the environment. Leave no trash in the water, be careful not to hook seabirds, we do our best to preserve this wonderful fishery for generations to come.
Let's get out there and enjoy the water!
