World-Class Offshore Fishing | Key West Adventure

Key West's Ultimate Offshore & Inshore Fishing Adventure

Get ready to experience the best of both worlds with our full-day fishing charter in Key West, FL. Whether you're itching to battle big game in the deep blue or prefer the action-packed waters closer to shore, this trip's got you covered. We'll spend 8 hours on the water, giving you plenty of time to try your hand at different fishing styles and target a variety of species. Our seasoned captain knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for a day of non-stop fishing action.

What to Expect on the Water

As soon as we leave the dock, you'll feel the excitement building. We'll start by deciding whether to head offshore for the big boys like Sailfish and Mahi, or stick to the inshore waters for some fast-paced action with Barracuda and Mackerel. The beauty of this full-day trip is the flexibility – if one spot isn't producing, we'll move on to greener pastures. You'll get to experience different fishing techniques, from trolling with lures to bottom fishing with live bait. And don't worry about bringing any gear – we've got top-notch rods, reels, and tackle all ready to go. Just remember to pack some grub and your favorite drinks to keep you fueled throughout the day.

Techniques & Tactics

Offshore, we'll be using heavy-duty gear to handle the big pelagics. We might spend some time trolling with spreader bars and ballyhoo to entice Mahi and Tuna, or deploy kites to present live baits to cruising Sailfish. If we're working the reef lines, we'll switch to lighter tackle and drop live pilchards or chunks of cut bait to the bottom for Snapper and Grouper. Inshore, it's all about versatility. We might cast plugs for Barracuda one minute, then switch to live bait fishing for sharks the next. Our captain will read the conditions and adjust our tactics to put you on the fish. It's a great chance to learn new techniques and sharpen your skills, no matter your experience level.

Customer Stories

"Captain Todd and Grey Beard were teriffic! We caught and released more sharks than I could have imagined for a 4 hr trip. Grey Bush had us cracking up, making sure we had bait in the water and tackled all those sharks. He provided us a fantastic gift to remember the outing. Captain Todd even did me a solid the following day. To end the trip, my daughter got to reel in a large nurse shark as an exclamation! I don't normally leave reviews, but these guys deserve it. Well done!" - Mike

Species You'll Want to Hook

Mahi Mahi, or as the locals call 'em, Dorado, are the acrobats of the offshore world. These vibrant green and gold fish are known for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked. They're fast-growing and can reach sizes over 30 pounds in our waters. Mahi are most abundant during the warmer months, from spring through fall. Anglers love targeting them not just for the fight, but also for their delicious, firm white meat.

Blacktip Sharks are the speed demons of the shark world. These sleek predators are often seen chasing bait fish near the surface, and they put on quite a show when hooked. They typically range from 4 to 6 feet long and can be found year-round in our waters. Blacktips are known for their powerful runs and occasional jumps, making them a favorite among sport fishermen looking for an adrenaline rush.

Yellowfin Tuna are the prize fighters of the deep. These torpedo-shaped powerhouses can grow to over 200 pounds, though most we catch are in the 30 to 80-pound range. They're known for their blistering runs and deep dives that'll test both your gear and your stamina. Yellowfin are most common in our waters during the spring and fall migrations. Anglers target them not just for the epic battles, but also for their prized sushi-grade meat.

Mutton Snapper are the clever bottom-dwellers that'll keep you on your toes. These beautiful red and pink fish are masters of stealing bait, so finesse and patience are key. They average 5 to 15 pounds but can grow much larger. Muttons are available year-round but are especially active during their spawning season in late spring and early summer. Anglers prize them for their tasty fillets and the challenge they present when fishing around structure.

Atlantic Sailfish are the crown jewels of Key West sportfishing. These majestic billfish are known for their striking sail-like dorsal fin and their incredible acrobatics when hooked. They can reach lengths of over 7 feet and speeds up to 68 mph. While we can catch them year-round, the peak season is from November to March. Hooking into a Sailfish is often the highlight of an angler's trip, with their spectacular jumps and tail-walking displays making for unforgettable memories.
