From Cheeca Lodge to blue water, minutes up the highway.
Cheeca guests have been fishing with Islamorada captains for generations. The fleet docks a short drive up the Overseas Highway at the Holiday Isle marina.
Cheeca Lodge sits in the heart of the village, and the fleet's dock sits a few minute-markers north at Holiday Isle. Leave the resort after an early breakfast and you are stepping aboard before the ice finishes loading.
It is the natural pairing: a luxury resort day on either side of a serious fishing day. The crew cleans and bags your catch for the ride back, and concierge desks in this town have been pointing guests to the Epstein family's boats for a long time.
