Key West fishing charters are one of the specialties of the Southernmost City, and the guides here know how to pull lots of fish from the ocean, day after day. That’s why Key West is a top destination for salt water sport fishing, whether it’s fishing Dry Tortugas, anchoring up on the flats for some bonefish, or running to the reef for some grouper and snapper. Of course that doesn’t cover all the types of Key West fishing charters! There’s tarpon fishing, back country fishing, shark fishing, and overnight trips where you catch anything and everything.

The easiest way, and also the way you get more discounted prices, is to book your Key West fishing charters online. This way, you have time to look into the types of Key West fishing charters available at the time of year you’ll be visiting. You can also plan different excursions on different days. Why not try flats fishing in the morning for a half day one day, then night fishing for sharks another day? And one of the most pleasant types of Key West fishing charters is tarpon fishing in the evening.

Tarpon can start up feeding at dusk, so an evening charter is the perfect way to end your day, viewing the sunset on the calm skinny water, waiting for the tarpon to bite.

Key West fishing charters that go offshore will target more species, like tuna, marlin, wahoo, mahi mahi, and whatever else the captain spies out in the deeper waters. Head out to the Gulf Stream for these pelagics which also make good eating. Have the mate slice you up some wahoo steaks for the grill later that day, and you have the perfect day in Paradise!

Key West fishing boats range from tiny flats boats to center consoles to large offshore sport fishers that can accommodate several people in comfort and style. Choose your charter by what kind of fishing and what type of Key West fish you want to catch.

They run out of Garrison Bight and Key West’s Historic Seaport and can be booked online for best prices. Reserve your trip ahead of time and make your Key West vacation as hassle free as possible.

If it’s fishing by yourself you’re interested in, then you may be interested in Key West boat rentals. Rent a boat for a partial day, full day, or just a couple of hours around sunset for a quick sunset tour or maybe a little tarpon fishing. Renting a boat is good if you know the waters and know where to go for fishing, but a guide or fishing charter is how you will catch the most fish. You may even learn something while you’re at it, like better fly fishing technique, info about the species you’re targeting, weather patterns and fishing, or any other bits of knowledge that most Key West fishing guides will share with you when you fish with them. Key West fishing boats are better with guides!
