A tour where I grew up in Islamorada at Bud n’ Mary’s Marina.

[@jessicagrover402]

Just stayed there and literally best trip of my life ❤️❤️

[@StanzFam]

🙂👍🏻

[@WeekendPirate]

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.

[@harrygreene8669]

Next vacation ideas. Thanks Cap'n

Really cool didn’t know your connection to the shop. I’ve been coming to the area since 2015. Love bud n Mary’s and key dives.

[@TQMouse]

Thanks for sharing. A definite stop on our aquatic adventures

[@captraykelly]

Great tour. Bud n' Mary's is a landmark. A lot of fishing history there. So glad I had the opportunity to film you, Your Dad, Capt Scott, Capt Walter and we can forget Capt Anne over the years. It was a pleasure. Catch a BIG one!

Bud’n Sadies Marina has a nice ring to it! Sorry Mary. Love these videos and the keys. Keep up the good work Captian

[@kevinashleylewis]

I never put two and two together. But we used to stop by there all the time to watch the charters come in. My dad lived down on Big Coppitt Key for years when I was growing up.

[@StanzFam]

Cool, lower keys are nice!

[@scottheller2719]

The Keys life is so amazing! I’m in south Florida, but I used to go for a week every year during the summer as a kid. Best time ever!!

[@alopez15658al]

Definitely got your own Florida key.. there's no reason to leave you have all you need right there.. A true fishermen's DREAM!!! Definitely will stop in and say hey next time though 🙂 huge fan!!

[@DTruth850]

Sadie is going to have an awesome Life. Your blessed for all you have Captain Nick.

[@StanzFam]

I hope so 👊🏻👊🏻🎣🎣

[@phillymanpete]

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.

[@sheepdog1102]

I have been to key West it’s like a different country and a beautiful place to visit but even better place to live I would wager!

[@petertaylor9303]

I hope you did another video about the re power of the boat, the maintenance and behind the scenes videos are always good.

[@barrykelly4706]

I Would've Loved to grow up like you and your brother did in all of that, it had to be an amazing!!! experience!!!

[@DEVILLXX74]

Nice property very nice information for a great fishing trip

[@DaltonOB]

My grandparents lived in Islamorada. I remember constantly being at Bud N Marys as a kid. I'm sure you've met Mary Jane and Ron OBrien at some point. Crazy to stumble across this channel.

[@MoviesSam]

I'm just learning about your area, and I think I heard of Bud N Mary's even before I knew much about Islamorada. We are planning a trip down next spring and your vid was helpful. Can't wait.

[@topnotchsales2016]

I use to go here as a little kid 40 years ago. Loved watching the boats come in with all the fish. Hank Brown and Billie were our guides.

[@StanzFam]

Awesome! That’s a while back, bet you got to see some great catches

[@Karatosa]

Cool, thanks for the tour.👍

[@leewiles3075]

As cool as your fishing videos are, it is nice to learn a little more about Bud and Mary’s and your connection to it.

[@StanzFam]

Thanks 👊🏻👊🏻

[@StanzFam]

Glad to hear it! Thanks

[@KeysTreasures]

Thanks for the great tour.

[@Mokimanify]

The rooms are very nice and large. They are well worth the $. The rooms have a home like feel .. Quilts and all. It's also nice that you feel like you can trust your stuff won't be stolen from your vehicle.

[@StanzFam]

Thanks, glad to hear it.

[@Deepimpactocean]

Well done! Nice to see the history and what b&m has to offer today.

[@eugeneabreut960]

Thanks! Yes! Very fortunate! 👊🏻👊🏻

[@joejorlett916]

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.

[@StanzFam]

Thanks joe! Appreciate it. Tight lines 🎣

[@vladfish]

Amazing place and home for you. God keep blessing you and your family.

[@StanzFam]

Thank you! Stay safe and healthy 🙌🏻

[@islandaerial3414]

Only time I went to the Keys I passed by Islamorada on our way to Key West. Next time! Great Tour!

[@evomink]

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!!!

[@stevemoreton2751]

I didnt know you were famiy there!..cool..i fished there inthe 60s on my dads boat..then fished with Bobby Haines and Jackie Morrow on the Lovango..i mst have met you way back when..great operation!!..

[@StanzFam]

Thanks! That’s awesome! Good old days

[@kennedylegel3099]

As a FL native, but not a conch, Ive been to the Keys over 100 times. My Dad used to have his boat at the Caloosa Cove years ago and we piloted by BnM many times. Always great to see a landmark on my drives down as well. Thanks for sharing and tight lines!

[@StanzFam]

Awesome!

[@2BrothersWorld]

Beautiful place, some day I will be there for sure.

[@JeepComeTrue]

Wow 🤩 A hidden gem 💎

[@redbullrich]

I had no idea Bud and Mary’s was their family business ... I had my best fishing charter ever at Bud and Mary’s ... we caught more Mahi and we deserved ... it as awesome

[@kurttrzeciak8326]

Great to see such a wonderful family atmosphere! If my family makes it through these tough times relatively unscathed, Bud N Mary's will be our first family vacation! God bless and stay safe!

[@StanzFam]

Stay safe and healthy!

Nice tour of Bud n' Mary's. My Dad docked his Bertram 31 at Bud n' Mary's for many years. Video brings back a lot of great memories. Hope all is well with your Dad and uncle Scott.

Great tour! I got my PADI cert at your dive shop around1981-82ish. Dive master had me do my fist dive as a certified rec diver with him looking for a plane wreck that had some drugs supposedly in it! Blasted through my tank in about 20 minutes i was swimming so hard! I have a pic of me somewhere with the guy who ran the shop standing out front with the shark!

[@369dusty]

Nick, I am impressed !!! What a story filled with great memories !! I appreciate your videos and enjoy getting educated on salt water fishing. You are very professional. You are personal with people and fun to watch as you interact with friends and family. You are truly blessed !!! Hope to make it there someday !

Hi Nick just found your channel and LOVE it. You have good content and in is very educational as well. My wife and I favorite is the catch and cook segments, after watching this episode I called and booked us the week of Nov. 14 2022 and can't wait. I have waited for over 20 years to go to Islamorada Fl. and enjoy the great history Thanks Paul Pritchard

[@StanzFam]

Thanks for watching! Enjoy your trip down here 🙌🏻

[@carlasbury8045]

Nick this is a great video. I like you grew up fishing from Coconut Grove to Marathon. My years of growing up there were in the 40's and 50's. This was long before your dad purchased Bud and Mary's and you guys have really made it grow. We did a lot of bay side fishing around all of the islands in the 40's and 50's. Pulling large grouper and snappers from under the mangroves with hand lines. Some of the old first boats were flat bottom wooden plank boats with a 4 hp lawnmower motor with no reverse. Just start and go. I lived several years on Conch Key and Crawfished (Florida Lobster to folks now) as well as Mackerel fished. That was in the late 50's. Glad of what you guys have there but I have to admit that I miss the old Keys. Not much traffic back then,

[@StanzFam]

Thanks for watching! I bet you saw some amazing fishing back then! I know the Keys have changed a lot in my lifetime, I can’t imagine it back in the 50’s

[@carlasbury8045]

@@StanzFam yes. I remember Bud and Mary's from the 40's when it was new. Have caught many fish on Alligator Reef. Crawfish under just about every rock. Not to big a deal to catch a 200 - 300 pound Jew Fish off of that reef. It happened every year. I know that you knew Ralph Delph. He and I went to school together in Miami. He took his first fishing trip with my dad in Biscayne Bay catching sand-perch drifting and using a hand line. We were probably 6 years old at the time. We went big time when we got our first spinning tackle. Miss my Keys please keep them beautiful.

[@Martijnvdbr]

Big fan from The Netherlands here. I ran into your channel a while ago through Bluegabe’s channel. 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!

I love your family history and the love for the outdoors and the water! My kids and I just got done spearing and cooking Carp and gar Cajun style on the grill! Live free eat wild!
