TRIP DETAILS + INFORMATION
We are off to the beautiful village of Islamorada, Florida for another exciting adventure!! Six ladies will have the chance to do one day of lobstering and one half-day of fishing in the Florida Keys. Plan to arrive around 4 P.M. EST, on Saturday for a meet and greet with your fellow adventurers, followed by dinner on the water.
Sunday will be a full day of lobstering - and is opening day of losberting, so plan to be on the water most of the day! If we are not too exhausted from our day of fishing, we can find a local restaurant and an evening adventure near our Airbnb. Monday will be our half-day of fishing. We will get back to the dock on Tuesday around 11AM, just in time to hit a local restaurant for lunch before departure.
Since we will be hitting the water in August in Florida, keep in mind that it will be HOT and HUMID. We will be heading out to fish early in the morning both days, so it will be cooler early on but will warm-up throughout the day. This trip includes one day of lobstering, one half-day of fishing, two nights stay in an Airbnb, and all equipment needed to fish. Our guides will also clean our catches for us. At our Airbnb, it is likely you will have to share a room or bed with others on this trip. Please be prepared for that!
LICENSING + REGULATIONS
No licensing is required for this trip, as our guides will be handling the licensing for us.
TRIP ACCOMMODATIONS + MISC. DETAILS
Our base camp for the weekend will be cute & cozy Airbnb near the dock. Keep in mind that you will likely be sharing a room or a bed with your other fisherwomen – please be prepared for that!

MEET THE COORDINATOR
Courtney will be your trip coordinator. She is from the small town of Lancaster, SC, just on the border of North Carolina. She was lucky enough to be introduced to whitetail hunting at a young age and fell in love with the outdoors. In her spare time, she enjoys hunting, fishing, and traveling to new places. This trip, Courtney is most looking forward to scratching a lobster off of her catch list, as well as meeting and uplifting like-minded women who enjoy exploring the outdoors!
This trip is going to be an action-packed weekend of chasing lobster, tuna, and mahi-mahi in the waters of the Islamorada, Florida, and we hope you’ll join us! Please feel free to email questions@herwilderness.co with any questions about this trip!
