The capt. of this particular boat I went on was an arrogant know it all who got into a extended yelling match with another boat and to top it off he belittled the guests by yelling at them the whole time. When we didn't see a dolphin swim by our lines he says "what@#$%matter with you guys"(we're talkin retirees) ....he had a live well full baits,,just for him. He see's the dolphin throws out a live bait, lands it and then rubs it in our faces...I swear my tongue was bleeding. I landed a blue runner he says the fish is his...I tell'um...we'll see about that. The tackle suxed. I broke off on 2 big King Fish and the seas where 4-5, I took a wave over the side, got soaked from the chest down and the capt tells me seas are at 2 feet...lol
That experience is not to say Jupiter fishing is crap. Its one of the many hot spots in southern FL. Excellent place to vacation in the winter.

In Marathon you would not get that kind of treatment on the Marathon Lady.
