The 6 Best Deep-Sea & Reef Fishing Charters

6 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.

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 325 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $85Best value

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!”
