About Your Trip

Join us in Key West for an unforgettable day of fishing aboard a top-of-the-line 32’ SeaVee, departing from Charter Boat Row. This high-performance offshore fishing machine is built to get you comfortably and efficiently to the fish, whether we’re heading offshore in search of pelagic species, working the reefs, or targeting productive wrecks. Your captain will choose the most productive areas based on the season, weather, water conditions, and what’s biting.

Depending on the time
of year and your goals for the trip, we’ll target some of Key West’s most sought-after game fish. Offshore trips can include mahi-mahi, tuna, sailfish, and wahoo. Reef trips can produce black grouper, red grouper, yellowtail snapper, and mutton snapper. We also offer wreck fishing for hard-fighting amberjack, tuna, and snapper. We use a variety of proven techniques, including live bait, trolling, jigging, and bottom fishing, and can adjust our approach throughout the day to take advantage of changing conditions.

The 32 SeaVee is equipped with brand-new electronics, radar, Starlink, two live wells, three fish boxes, a full second station, and a premium JL Audio sound system. The spacious, professionally equipped boat gives you everything needed for a serious day of fishing while still providing a comfortable experience on the water. Whether you’re an experienced angler chasing a trophy, looking for a cooler full of reef fish, or bringing the family out for a memorable day in Key West, we’ll tailor the trip around your group and fishing goals.

No two days on the water are exactly alike, which is part of what makes Key West fishing so special. We can customize your trip around the species you want to pursue, the fishing grounds you want to explore, and the techniques you enjoy. From fast-paced offshore action to reef and wreck fishing, our goal is to put you in the right place with the right equipment and give you an incredible day on the water aboard one of Key West’s premier fishing boats.
