  • I show you around Bud n' Mary's marina, which my family has owned for over 40 years. It's located in Islamorada, Florida Keys at mile marker 79.8. This is where I grew up at and people from all over the world come here to fish both offshore and inshore.

    Probably the coolest thing your parents could own is one of the largest and most popular marinas in the keys. Must have been fun growing up there.

    Curious to know if you ever met or fished with some of the South Florida fishing legends? Flip Pallot comes immediately to mind, as does the late Jose Wejebe, Lefty Kreh, and Rob Fordyce? Keep up the good work with your channel. Love the format of your videos!

    • @StanzFam

      I did fish with Jose once as a kid. We were doing a trip on the head boat at the marina taking out a bunch of kids and he was one of the volunteers to help.

    Amazing video Captain Nick!!! I can't wait to return to Bud N' Mary's. The plaque with the "Far better it is to dare mighty things..." by Theodore Roosevelt great. There is so much cool history at the marina your family has owned for over 40 years - and I'm sure more will be made in the next 40+ years.

    Bud n' Mary's is a great place. I've been there many times going back to the 1970s. We fished with Capt. Perry Scuderi and had a great time. Unfortunately, not all my trips were great. Two days prior to the Scuderi trip, we fished with Capt. Rick Stanz. Capt. Stanz ignored us the entire day. Not one word of welcome. He had no bait. He gave us one word answers to questions. It was like we didn't deserve to be in his boat. I tipped him, but I shouldn't have.

I’ve checked out the marina on google maps a couple of times, thank you for giving those all over the globe watching your videos a private tour, I’ve been hoping for a video like that! Stay safe in these tough times and hopefully one day I’ll see your beautiful family business with my own eyes. Big thumbs up!

  • @evomink
    @evomink Před 3 lety +1

    Great memories. I grew up going to The Moorings. We went twice a year for 20+ years and I used to rent boats from Bud N Mary’s and Cobra Marine when I wasn’t windsurfing with Hubert or getting in trouble at the Tiki Bar at Holiday Isle. My wife grew up going to the Anglers Club in Key Largo... we still visit her parents down there. Islamorada is the best!!!
