About Kelley Fishing Fleet
The Kelley Fishing Fleet has been a Miami Beach institution since Captain George Kelley launched the operation in 1957, making it one of the oldest continuously operating party boat fishing services in South Florida. Docked at Haulover Park Marina on Collins Avenue, the fleet offers affordable deep sea fishing trips that welcome everyone from complete beginners to experienced anglers looking for a casual day on the water.
Trips run multiple times daily — half-day mornings, half-day afternoons, and night fishing sessions — aboard large, comfortable drift boats that accommodate dozens of passengers. All bait, tackle, rods, reels, and fishing licences are included in the ticket price, which starts at just $45 per adult. The crew assists with rigging, casting, and identifying catches, making it an ideal outing for families with children or groups of friends trying fishing for the first time.
The Kelley Fleet's longevity speaks to its consistent quality and value. For nearly 70 years, the operation has been putting passengers on snapper, grouper, kingfish, barracuda, and other reef and bottom species in the productive waters just off Miami Beach. Their no-frills, family-friendly approach has earned generations of loyal customers and a strong reputation as one of the best-value fishing experiences in the area.
