About Your Trip
Get ready to experience world-class sportfishing with Captain Mike and his experienced crew, as you explore the rich inshore and offshore waters surrounding Key West. Whether you're chasing reef species nearshore or heading out deep for high-speed pelagics, these trips are built for anglers of all levels—and tailored to the conditions and seasons to put you on the fish.
You'll fish from a fully restored 42’ Post Sportfisher, a spacious, smooth-riding boat powered by twin
480 HP Volvo engines. Designed for both serious fishing and serious comfort, this boat is equipped with GPS, radar, outriggers, downriggers, tuna tubes, and kite fishing gear. Inside, you’ll find air conditioning, a full kitchen, a bathroom with shower, sleeping quarters, a flybridge with panoramic views, and even a multimedia system and TV for those longer hauls.
Depending on your chosen trip—4, 6, or 8 hours—you’ll have the opportunity to target a wide range of species. Inshore and reef trips often deliver steady action with snapper, grouper, and sharks, making them great for families and first-timers. Offshore trips take things up a notch, with the chance to battle Blackfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Sailfish. On full-day charters, you may even get a crack at a Blue Marlin when the timing is right.
Captain Mike and his first mate (with over two decades of Key West experience) will guide you through a variety of fishing techniques, including trolling, bottom fishing, jigging, spinning, and kite fishing. Both light and heavy tackle are available, depending on the species you're after.
Families are welcome on all trips, and kids often love the hands-on experience of catching their own fish. The crew is always happy to help beginners, while still delivering a top-tier experience for seasoned anglers.
All gear is included—rods, reels, bait, tackle, and lures. You'll also be covered for fishing licenses, and the crew will clean and fillet your catch at no extra charge. Just bring your food, drinks, sunscreen, and whatever else you need for a great day on the water.
So whether you're after a quick nearshore trip or a full-day deep sea run, Captain Mike’s Key West sportfishing adventures deliver action, comfort, and unforgettable memories—all backed by a top-notch crew and decades of local knowledge.
