The Boat: Parker 2520 Satisfaction
A Comfortable, Proven Islamorada Fishing Machine
Built for What Matters on the Water
Most charter sites brag about glossy paint and shiny upholstery. Satisfaction isn't that kind of boat — and that's exactly why she's better for real fishing.
This Parker 2520 Pilot House has been fishing Islamorada for decades. She's simple, solid, stable, and set up to maximize one thing: putting you on fish, safely and comfortably.
No gimmicks. No fluff. Just a boat that does its job extremely well.
Boat Overview
Parker 2520 Pilot House
Length: 25 ft
Beam: 9'6" (much wider and roomier than most boats this size)
Year: 2001
Engine: Yamaha F300 Outboard
Capacity: Up to 6 passengers
Vibe: Functional. Comfortable. Plenty of space. Built for real fishing.
Why This Boat Catches More Fish
Purpose-built layout. Real fishing deck. Smart electronics.
You're not cramped. You're not dodging clutter. You're not watching the captain do all the work from a throne in the back.
This boat is designed around YOU actually fishing.
Huge Cockpit Area
Space for everyone to cast and fight fish without feeling crowded. The most functional, roomy 25-foot fishing platform you'll step on in Islamorada.
Dual Garmin GPS/Fish Finders
High-precision navigation and real-time sonar clarity, ensuring accurate positioning, safer routing, and confident fish targeting in any conditions.
Upper Station
So Captain Brian can spot bait, birds, color changes and life more easily from an elevated position.
50-Gallon Live Well
Keeps fresh bait alive all day for consistent action and successful fishing.
Clean, Efficient Deck
Layout designed for fast transitions between spots - less clutter, more fishing time.
Onboard Cooler
Keep your catch, drinks, and snacks ice-cold throughout the trip, so you can focus on fishing hard and fun.
Why This Boat Catches More Fish
Protection from sun, rain, wind and heat — without sacrificing deck space.
Pilot House
The pilot house design means you get the best of both worlds: a wide-open fishing deck and a comfortable enclosed cabin.
Enclosed cabin to cool off, take a break or hide from weather
Shaded area during runs to protect from sun exposure
Safe, dry storage for personal belongings
Small port-a-potty (critical for families and longer trips)
While the back deck is wide-open for fishing, the cabin is your retreat — especially for kids and guests who need shade and comfort.
Pilot House Advantages
Sun Protection: Escape the intense Florida sun when needed
Weather Protection: Stay dry during passing showers
Wind Break: Reduce wind exposure during runs
Onboard Restroom: Essential for longer trips and families
Family-Friendly: Safe, comfortable space for all ages
Why This Boat Catches More Fish
Satisfaction isn't a new boat — and that's intentional. Newer doesn't mean better for fishing.
The Parker 2520 is one of the most respected, proven hulls in the charter
world because it's:
Overbuilt - Constructed to last
Efficient - Good fuel economy
Heavy for its size - Provides stability
Safe - Proven track record
Wide and stable - Reduces rocking
Perfect for Florida Keys - Ideal for reefs and nearshore runs
And more importantly — This boat has caught a lifetime's worth of fish and has a lot more left in it.
You're not booking a photoshoot boat.
You're booking a fish-catching workhorse captained by someone who knows exactly how to run it
Why This Boat Catches More Fish
