If you're ready to take on big-time gamefish such as Blackfin Tuna, Red Snapper, Wahoo, and Sailfish, then you'll love this trip with Captain Jeremy! He'll be taking you offshore on board his 35' Cabo Express sportfisher, a luxury vessel that's purpose-built for serious fishing! The Florida Keys are a world-famous fishing destination, and and for a good reason! The surrounding waters are teeming with some of the most sought-after game fish in the Gulf, as well as tons of inshore and nearshore species. Your target species on this trip are all pelagic, meaning they swim in the open ocean and are typically caught "on the troll", running lures or live bait to entice the fish to strike. When you get a bite, be prepared for a fight, as these fish can grow to incredible sizes and put up a real battle! While Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Sailfish are the primary targets, you may also encounter other species such Wahoo, all of which can provide an exciting fight and make for a memorable catch. In between catches, take the time to enjoy the stunning scenery and wildlife that surrounds you, including dolphins, sea turtles, and seabirds. An offshore fishing charter with Captain Jeremy out of Key Largo, FL, is an unforgettable experience that combines the beauty of the Florida Keys with the thrill of the chase. With the right preparation and a little luck, you'll have the opportunity to land some of the most sought-after game fish in the world and make memories that will last a lifetime! Read More

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year.

Key Largo Fishing Charter Overview

Key Largo, known as ""the Diving Capital of the World,"" is home to the only living coral reef in mainland US and the country's first underwater park. This unique fishery is situated between the wild Everglades and the vast Atlantic, offering a diverse range of fishing opportunities that are sure to leave you breathless.

The shallow waters of Key Largo are teeming with Snook, Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit, and Redfish, while the rich reefs are home to big Snapper and Grouper. Venturing further offshore will reward you with Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, Cobia, Kingfish, Marlin, and even Sailfish.

Whether you're a family looking for a half-day trip or a serious sport fisherman seeking to break records on an extended full-day trip, Key Largo has something for everyone. With fishing charters readily available all along the island, finding the perfect captain to ensure you're fishing within the law is easy. Plus, your captain will cover the license, so you can focus on reeling in your catch.

Key Largo Inshore Fishing

Just taking a look at a map of Key Largo and the surrounding waters is enough to get the inshore angler's adrenaline pumping. Located just a short boat ride away are mangrove forests, sandbars, bays, and flats - a backcountry angler's dream. If you want to chase Mangrove Snapper or Redfish in the skinny backwaters, or target Tarpon, Bonefish, Snook, or Permit in the bays and flats - a Key Largo inshore fishing trip is exactly what you are looking for.

The coldest Key Largo gets in the winter is around 60 degrees, which is a perfect time to cruise the flats for Permit. As the spring brings around warmer weather, Tarpon, Bonefish, Redfish, and Snook are readily available to take your bait. For those targeting the coveted Bonefish, the month of September tends to be the most productive. Redfish move into shallower waters beginning in fall and staying through the winter. This is an excellent time to sight fish for Reds in skinny water.

Key Largo Offshore and Deep Sea Fishing

The offshore and deep sea fishing in Key Largo are every bit as good as the inshore fishing. There are countless artificial and natural reefs in the nearshore waters and deeper offshore waters around Key Largo. The Pompano, Grouper, and Barracuda bite is best in the cooler months from november through may with Snapper picking up in March. Yellowtail fire up next with their peak season running April through June. Sharks live in these waters year round and will definitely make your heart race!

If you're looking to target red snapper in Key Largo, the red snapper fishing season in Florida has typically taken place during the summer months, from June through August.

Further offshore, Key Largo deep sea fishing charters typically catch Mahi-Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, and other pelagic monsters like Marlin and Sailfish. For the deep droppers, Swordfish can be caught in the deep water canyons and channels 30 miles or more off the coast of Key Largo.

Does Key Largo have good fishing?

Additionally, the nearby coral reefs provide habitat for a variety of game fish, including grouper and snapper, enhancing the fishing potential.

    Jay was an experienced captain who took us on an incredible fishing excursion. We were a group mixed fishing experience, caught tons of fish, and took plenty home with us for dinner! 10/10. We will be back!

    We had a great time! They catered to all the fishing levels and interest! As one of my bridesmaid’s said… what a perfect activity we fished, we chilled on the boat, we talked, drank, napped, and sunned at our own liking.

    Great trip, Captain Andrew is super knowledgeable. He put us on fish quickly and accommodated all our requests, including a 100 lb shark for my daughter.

    Had a great time with Captain Chris today. Caught a lot of fish and had a lot of laughs. Had an unforeseen technical issue but Captains Mike and Chris took care of it with grace and humor. We’ll be back.

    On behalf of Warren Herndon, Wayne Hall and myself (Dexter Hudson), I would like to report that we had an outstanding time on our fishing excursion with Captain Don. Captain Don was very enjoyable to talk and visit with and he also patiently answered all of our questions, explaining what he was doing. And he worked like a Trojan baiting and putting new hooks and leaders on our poles after sharks robbed us of our catch when we reeled in too slowly. We did manage to reel in 22 good-sized Yellow Tail snapper and were able to return home as conquering heroes with meat for the table. Don not only cleaned the fish but provided several tasty recipes. The gentlemen did the cooking, the wives joined us in devouring the meal and we all had big smiles on our faces.. Thanks Captain Don! If or when we get back, you'll be the man we call!

    Captain Randy comes highly recommended. This was a retirement trip for my brother and it was truly amazing!! Captain Randy went above and beyond to make sure our 2 day trip was full of action, and adventure. His love for The Florida Keys is contagious. He will put you on the fish! If you seriously love fishing, he’s your guy! Captan Experiences made booking and paying our Captain so much easier than doing it over the phone. Everything was seamless and I look forward to booking with them and Captain Randy again.

    Captain Erik was on time and prepared. That 35 foot contender got us to the spot quick. Put us on his spot & pulled up some yellowtail and a half dozen keeper mutton. Two jumbos 10 and 15 pounds.

    I highly recommend Anthony if you want to fish out of Key Largo. He was obviously respected by the other guides we met while we were fishing and demonstrated a great knowledge of the local water and the best places to find different species of fish. Additionally, he had excellent equipment that was in very good shape. This includes his boat. Even more important was his willingness to conduct the type of trip I wanted for my grandchildren's first fishing trip. He is also extremely affable and fun to be with. If I go back to the Keys, I won't look for a different guide. I will just call Anthony and ask, "What's biting?".

    Captain Andrew, put us on fish right away! He knowledgeable about all things Key Largo. He is professional, organized, and enthusiastic about what he does. We highly recommend captain andrew to anyone, and when we come back we will book with him again. Highlight of the trip was landing the nurse shark!

    Pete and Kristy were absolutely awesome! We had an excellent time with the Louisiana/Texas combo ;) Captain Pete was patient about explaining the estuary of the Keys and species. We caught 6 different species and 3 sharks! Great time- see ya’ll next year🦈🎣😃
