trip description for Deep Sea Trophy Hunt in Islamorada

If you're ready to take on big game fish such as, Tuna, Swordfish, and Marlin, then you'll enjoy fishing with the Shark Tooth Captain. He'll be taking you offshore in depths of over 2000 feet, which is about 20-30 miles out into the Atlantic Ocean. An offshore fishing charter with Captain Kenneth out of Islamorada, FL, is an adventure that promises to be both exciting and memorable! Islamorada is known as the "Sport Fishing Capital of the World," and for a good reason, as the surrounding waters are teeming with some of the most sought-after game fish, including Tuna, Marlin, and Swordfish. On this trip, you'll head 20-30 miles out, where the big pelagic species migrate. Captain Kenneth runs a sleek 54' Smith center console! This vessel is totally unique, combining the size of a sportfisher with the maneuverability and hull design of a bible center console. Kenneth will navigate the boat to the best fishing spots, marked by GPS coordinates, and provide you with all the necessary gear and instructions. Captain Kenneth's charter is well-equipped to ensure you have a comfortable and safe trip. The boat is spacious and features all the necessary amenities, including a restroom, ample seating, and a shaded area to escape the sun. Tuna, Marlin, and Swordfish are all pelagic fish, meaning they swim in the open ocean and 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, Marlin, and Swordfish are the primary targets, you may also encounter other species such as Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo, and Sailfish, 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. Overall, an offshore fishing charter with Captain Kenneth out of Islamorada, 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

What types of sailfish fishing charters are common in Florida?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for sailfish in Florida as well as nearshore fishing, inshore fishing, and jetty fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Florida are trolling, heavy tackle fishing, and bottom fishing but live bait fishing and artificial lure fishing are popular as well.

How much do Florida sailfish fishing charters cost?

Prices for sailfish in Florida can range anywhere from about $800 to $3,840, but the average price for a half day trip for sailfish in Florida is $1,302. The average price for a full day trip for sailfish in Florida is $2,343.

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. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for sailfish fishing in Florida?

The most popular season for sailfish fishing in Florida is summer, and most anglers book their trips 20 days in advance.

Do I need a Florida fishing license for sailfish and what are the bag limits for sailfish in Florida?

    We had an absolutely amazing time deep sea fishing with Captain Anthony! He is a fun and knowledgeable fisherman with LOTS of experience and great stories (ask him about how he’d dive for lobsters to impress his dates). He does all the work but lets you learn and participate as much or as little as you want. We knew we had an expert when we heard the radio chatter of all the other guides complaining that nothing was biting, while we pulled in six (only four mahi in pic). The other two were a small tuna and a ~32” barracuda). We highly recommend Kilo Whiskey Charter & Captain Anthony!

    Dan W. with Anthony D. of Key West, Florida

    Absolutely the highlight of our trip. Mike and his crew were fantastic teachers, patient and focused on helping all of us catch terrific fish. They are great with kids of all ages - 5 years to 16 years. Everyone had a great time and we caught a lot of fish.

    Matt was great. The crew managed to not only we engage positively with our 4-person party, but Matt ensured that our daughters had fun throughout. He left the course mainly up to us, since we had 2 younger children with us. I'll definitely come back to this charter service!

    Joshua R. with Matt G. of Port Orange, Florida

    If you want to catch fish, better call and get on board. Hardest working captain I’ve ever seen in my 20 years of offshore fishing. Not only did we limit out in multiple species captain Tommy gave us a great experience and let us do what we wanted to. captain Tommy has the go to spots for big snapper,grouper, and sport fish as well.

    Was a great trip, got on some nice fish. Got surprised by a large school of smaller mahi mahi but had fun with the instant hook up and seemed to last a good bit. Captain was great, very knowledgeable and supplied drinks if we needed any. The boat was clean and spacious for the both of us and had plenty of rods in the water.

    Nate and his mate were about as good as you can get. Kept me up on weather and water situations. Communication was the best I've had from any Capitan. Water was about as bad as it gets he safely got us out and back. Nathan can pilot a boat and can catch fish! I'll book for years to come.
