About Your Trip
This trip is only offered during lobster season, August 6 - March 31. If you're looking to mix it up out in Key West, this trip has your name on it! On this Lobstering trip—perfect for families—you'll use nets and "tickle sticks" to bag Spiny Lobsters, which are a blast
... Read More to catch and even better to eat.
Catching Lobsters takes a little practice, but once you've done it once, you'll never forget it. Captain Hunter can give you all the expert tips, but it's a simple task: use your tickle stick to coax the Lobsters into your net without letting them swim away, because if they decide to take off, they're surprisingly speedy. Once they're netted, you can swim back to the surface and throw that bug on ice!
Captain Hunter provides the nets and sticks, but you'll need to bring along your own snorkel, scuba mask, fins, and gloves if you choose to wear them. These pieces of equipment are essential, so come prepared!
For everything else, the captain has it covered. Just remember sunscreen (no spray please) and a pair of sunglasses to cut the glare. The Lobsters are out there—get out there and get after it!
