Fishing in Marathon isn’t just about dropping a line — it’s about understanding the water, the seasons, and the fish that move through the Florida Keys year-round. At Sweet E’Nuf Charters, every trip is built around that knowledge, backed by decades of experience and captains who genuinely love what they do.
Whether you’re visiting the Keys for the first time or returning for another shot at a trophy fish, Sweet E’Nuf delivers a true Marathon fishing charter experience — hands-on, productive, and tailored to you.
A Team of Captains Who Know These Waters
Sweet E’Nuf Charters is led by a tight-knit team of captains, each bringing their own strengths, background, and passion to the boat.
Veteran captain Dave Schugar, a lifelong fisherman and licensed Master Captain, has spent more than two decades fishing Marathon waters. His expertise has even earned national recognition — including being featured in Sport Fishing Magazine’s “Expert Bottom Fishing Tips”, where he shared proven strategies for fishing wrecks and structure.
“Fishing here changes with the seasons, the tides, and even the weather hour by hour,” says Captain Dave.
“The key is knowing when to move, when to stay put, and how to fish what’s in front of you. That’s what puts people on fish.”
Alongside him is Captain Quinlyn Haddon, whose passion for fishing began on a vacation to the Keys and quickly turned into a career. Known for her patience and positive energy, Quinlyn excels at making trips enjoyable for anglers of all skill levels. Captain Quinlyn has appeared in and written for dozens of fishing magazines, often sporting the cover with her achievements.
“Not everyone steps on the boat with the same experience,” Captain Quinlyn explains.
“Our job is to meet people where they’re at, make them comfortable, and help them catch fish they’ll be proud of.”
Completing the crew is Captain Chuck Nowicki, a seasoned angler who grew up fishing the Great Lakes and inland waters of Northern Michigan before bringing his skills to the Florida Keys.
“No matter where you fish, it’s about respect for the water and doing things the right way,” says Captain Chuck.
“Here in Marathon, we’re lucky to have so many options — reef, wrecks, offshore — and every trip is a chance to give someone a day they won’t forget.”
Fishing Charters for All Ages and Skill Levels
Sweet E’Nuf Charters offers a wide range of Marathon fishing trips, allowing captains to tailor each outing to the group, conditions, and time of year. Trips include:
- Reef Fishing Trips targeting snapper, grouper, kingfish, mackerel, sailfish, and seasonal dolphin or wahoo
- Wreck Fishing & Reef/Wreck Combos for cobia, African pompano, amberjack, jacks, and giant yellowtail
- Offshore (Deep Sea) Fishing Trips for anglers chasing bigger action and pelagic species
- Tarpon & Snook Trips (seasonal, half-day only)
- Hump Fishing Trips when conditions line up
- Daytime & Nighttime Swordfish Trips, offering a shot at one of the most challenging fish in the ocean
Half-day trips are perfect for families and anglers on a tighter schedule, while full-day charters give serious fishermen the time needed to reach prime spots and chase trophy fish.
