There is a big deference in charter services, boats and Captains. How they are rigged, techniques used and skill levels determine a successful fishing day.
No other charter services operate quite like we do.
Other charter services have tried to copy us and have even told prospects that they fish just like “The Main Attraction”!
We want all our anglers to learn to fish The Main Attraction way. We pride ourselves in teaching our anglers, especially children, to fish the Keys using the most successful techniques.
The Main Attraction Fishing Teams has developed, through years of experience, unique fishing techniques that consistently produce better catches.
There is not a better charter service in the Florida Keys. Period. The founder of The Main Attraction, Captain Morris Lewis, has over 5000 days fishing the waters of the Keys. That’s over 60,000 hrs. He has personality trained each of the Captains and mates of The Main Attraction charter fleet.
All our boats have professional Mates. Why? Because you get twice the net fishing time on boats that have well trained mates and Captains.
Some smaller boats are cutting costs by fishing without mates. When the Captain is doing double duty, as Captain and mate, you are not getting a good value for the money spent on your charter, no matter what the cost.
It is impossible for a double-duty operation to give you the same net fishing time as a Captain/Mate fishing team.
If you consider a charter or have been fishing on boats smaller than 40 foot, you are not getting the best value or getting the total fishing experience possible.
These boats may seem to be a little cheaper but the net fishing time will cost you much more.
In addition, you will not experience all the possible fishing techniques you would get fishing on a larger boat.
The Main Attraction boats are over 40 foot, have towers and provide a safe and stable ride. We will make your fishing experience an Adventure of a Lifetime, in stead of a costly nightmare.
The Main Attraction is the only charter service which has the NO FISH-NO PAY (full day) Guarantee.
There is a big difference when choosing your charter service. We hope you will make the right choice and fish The Main Attraction!

We advise our customers who are unsure about Seasickness to take a seasick pill the night before the charter and another one hour before the charter. Be sure to read the labels. Certain pills have warnings and not all people should take them. They usually work. However, in case of seasickness, the customer has the option to cancel the trip and pay a rate of $200.00 per hour from the time the boat leaves and gets back to the dock. As with any drug, Always check with your Doctor first!
