What are the best deep sea fishing charters in Key West?

Deep sea fishing in Key West

Key West, Florida, located at the southernmost tip of the Florida Keys, is a world-renowned destination for offshore fishing. This vibrant and picturesque island city, known for its laid-back atmosphere, historic charm, and stunning natural beauty, provides anglers with access to some of the most diverse and productive fishing waters in the world.

The waters off Key West teem with a variety of fish species, making it a haven for both recreational and serious anglers. The area is particularly famous for its sportfishing, offering opportunities to catch species such as Sailfish, Marlin, Dolphin Fish (Mahi-Mahi), Wahoo, and various types of Tuna, including the prized Blackfin Tuna. Key West's proximity to the Gulf Stream, a warm ocean current that brings an abundance of pelagic fish close to the island, enhances the offshore fishing experience.

Key West's offshore fishing is further characterized by its year-round fishing season. The island's subtropical climate and the diverse marine environments, including deep-sea drop-offs, wrecks, and reefs, provide ideal conditions for a range of fishing experiences. From light tackle fishing to heavy-duty deep-sea excursions, Key West caters to all fishing preferences.

The city offers a multitude of fishing charters with experienced captains who are experts in navigating the local waters. These charters provide various options, from half-day excursions perfect for families and beginners to full-day and multi-day adventures targeting specific species or areas. The expertise of Key West's captains and the quality of the fishing boats are well-regarded in the sportfishing community.

For sportfishing enthusiasts, Key West is a dream destination. The island hosts several high-profile fishing tournaments throughout the year, attracting competitive anglers from around the world. The thrill of battling a large Marlin or a feisty Mahi-Mahi in these waters is unmatched, offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many anglers.

Beyond fishing, Key West offers a wealth of other attractions. The island is famous for its historical sites, vibrant nightlife, rich cultural heritage, and a variety of water sports and recreational activities.

    My wife and I and 13 year old son went on a six hour spearfishing tour with Torre and it was by far the highlight of our trip to the Keys. We ended up with a fridge full of lobster, snapper, cero mackerel and yellow jack and we turned it into sashimi, ceviche, lobster macaroni and beer battered fish. We saw hammerheads, goliath groupers and sea turtles. My wife and I had never spear fished before but we had a great time; much better than fishing. Torre was an amazing guide and clearly knew where to go and what to look for. Next time we’re in the Keys, this will be our first stop.

    Trip: Key West Nearshore/Offshore Trip

  • ★★★★★
    We took our team out with Hunter for a combo lobstering and deep sea trip and he didn't let us down! First and foremost, Hunter is an ex-marine who is incredibly on top of his equipment, his boat, and his safety and was very clear about expectations for the day and what we should be doing at any point in time. After a quick scuba diving refresher & safety brief we put on our gear for a dive and were rewarded with a number of keeper lobsters, a bigger number of lobsters that were too small to keep, a lionfish which we speared, and too many great wildlife sightings to count including a big loggerhead turtle, a black grouper, and a nurse shark hoping for a handout. After the dive we put our gear away we drove a few miles further out to catch some yellowtail snapper. We started slow, but pretty soon were reeling in a yellowtail almost every cast. We probably caught 20-25 within a few hours, as well as a small yellow jack, a parrotfish, and an undersized red grouper. Lastly, we decided to use the last hour of our trip to try to hook into a big black grouper using some of our yellowtail as bait. This was a bit of a "go big or go home" bet and unfortunately didn't pay off for us this time - I wish we'd had a bit more time to drift and I'm sure we would have hooked one. Overall can't speak highly enough of Hunter and the experience diving and fishing in the Keys. There is such a variety of things to do that even on a full day trip you will never feel bored and can always pivot to something else. We even chased a frigate bird and threw some bucktails in the middle of the day at some bait that was busting. You won't go wrong booking a trip with Hunter.
