Key West · DEEP-SEA & REEF FISHING CHARTERS
18 reviewed
The Gulf and the Atlantic meet off Key West, so the fishing runs deep and varied — reef snapper one trip, offshore mahi and sailfish the next. These charters cover both: which are shared versus private, what gear and licence they include, and which captains put beginners on fish.
Key West reef fishing on a 64-foot catamaran. Bait, licenses, and crew help included, plus free filleting back at the dock.
“Great fun at a great price. The staff was amazing, friendly and fun. The family ate well after catching some keepers.”
Key West 6-hour party boat fishing for $85. Bait and license included, crew helps with technique, restrooms onboard.
“The Captain and crew are great. I recommend bringing Dramamine if you’re prone to sea or motion sickness. Also sunscreen is a must! You can purchase waters/sodas and snacks for $1 each but bringing your own bag of things isn't a bad idea. We didn’t catch too much on our trip, but the captain was very helpful and handed anything he hooked to participants to reel in. Overall quite a long excursion, we would have been happy with a couple hours shorter as people just looking for the experience but if your goal is to catch fish to take home, this is the trip for you!”

“As part of our family enjoyment, we joined a fishing trip with 5 excited cousins (aged 12 to 22) to fish for Mutton Snapper,. captain John shared his knowledge of the sea and fishing with the boys and a great time was had by all. We returned to shore 4 hours later; we caught a lot of Mutton Snapper , Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper and Black Grouper as saw Blackfin Tuna, . This was a trip to be remembered and I can't wait to go fishing again with my friends. We returned home and cooked the Mutton Snapper for our delicious supper! Thank you john for providing the best.”
