Any time of year is a good time for offshore sportfishing in Key West, Florida. Catch a trophy billfish, mahi mahi, tuna, wahoo or other pelagic fish in our bright blue offshore waters.

Key West fishing offers a wide variety of offshore fishing. The best time of year for mahi mahi and far offshore trips is May – October.

Fish the reefs and wrecks of Key West

Key West fishing isn’t just offshore fishing. Key West also has top notch light tackle fishing. Light tackle fishing is for anglers of all levels, and targets inshore and offshore species. We have great options to fish the reefs and wrecks for grouper, snapper and mackerels. The beautiful waters of the Florida Keys reef offer a wide variety of fish to catch.

Reef fishing is great for near shore action and especially kid friendly for a quick trip out for fishing, closer to shore. Inshore waters can often be less sporty than offshore charters. Light tackle fishing can fish the Atlantic or Gulf waters, offering many diverse types of fishing grounds.

Center Console fishing

Light tackle fishing uses smaller rods and reels for better action, and is often chartered on fast center console boats to get you out fishing faster. These boats don’t come with all of the amenities of an offshore sportfishing boat, but they are made for serious fishing. These smaller, center console boats can also reach fishing grounds that larger offshore boats cannot get to.

If you’re looking for a great light tackle experience, give us a call and we can get you set up with the right captain!

Fishing the flats of Key West, FL

Key West’s Flats Fishing

Fishing the breathtaking backcountry and flats surrounding Key West is a memorable adventure. These flats charter boats are made small to get around the skinny waters of the backcountry, which limits this charter to a maximum of 2 people per boat.

Flats fishing is done in the beautiful backcountry waters around Key West. These shallow, crystal clear waters are perfect for sight fishing your next trophy fish.
