Fishing on Magic with Captain Barry
Artist. Mariner. Storyteller. Captain Barry Spieler has spent 52 yearson the water, from sailing tall ships to running yachts to guiding charters throughout the Keys. He brings that same love of the sea to every trip aboard the Magic, along with a laid-back attitude and an artist's eye for the little details that make a day special.
Some places you have to run 30 miles just to start fishing. In Key West, you're on the fish in minutes. We work reef structure just offshore where snapper, grouper, mackerel and more stack up year round, calm water, world class reef fishing, and plenty of chances to kick back and take it all in.

Original artwork by Captain Barry
When he's not on the water, Captain Barry is still inspired by it. His paintings capture the movement and color of ocean life, from reef fish to sailing scenes.

What guests are saying
“We talked to a couple of captains down the dock and they were arrogant, but Capt. Barry and 1st Mate Bonnie were honest, laid back, and super affordable. We caught sharks, grouper, yellowtail and more, such a memorable time we booked again for our last day. And an extra cool factor: the extra fish they catch, they donate to the homeless.”
