Deep sea fishing in the Florida Keys

The Florida Keys, a coral cay archipelago located off the southern coast of Florida, is a world-renowned destination for offshore fishing. Stretching over 120 miles from Biscayne Bay near Miami to the Dry Tortugas, the Keys are known for their crystal-clear waters, abundant marine life, and excellent fishing opportunities.

Offshore fishing in the Florida Keys is diverse and abundant, attracting both recreational and serious anglers. The region is particularly famous for its Sailfish, Marlin, and Swordfish, making it a prime spot for big game fishing. Additionally, anglers can target Dolphin Fish (Mahi-Mahi), Wahoo, and various species of Tuna, including Blackfin and Yellowfin. The proximity of the Gulf Stream to the Keys brings a variety of pelagic fish to the area, offering exciting offshore fishing experiences.

Each key, from Key Largo down to Key West, offers its unique fishing opportunities and atmosphere. Key Largo and Islamorada, often referred to as the sportfishing capital of the world, provide excellent access to both the Atlantic Ocean and the Florida Bay, offering a wide range of fishing experiences. Marathon, in the heart of the Keys, is known for its family-friendly atmosphere and superb fishing opportunities. Key West, the southernmost point, is famous for its historic charm and access to the deeper waters where larger game fish are found.

The Florida Keys offer a plethora of fishing charters and experienced captains who specialize in navigating these fertile waters. These charters provide a range of options, from half-day excursions perfect for families or beginners to full-day and multi-day adventures for more ambitious anglers. The local captains are known for their expertise in finding the best fishing spots and ensuring a successful and enjoyable outing.

For sportfishing enthusiasts, the Florida Keys are a dream destination. The area is renowned for its sportfishing tournaments, attracting competitive anglers from around the world. The challenges of landing a trophy fish in these waters are matched by the stunning natural beauty of the surrounding area.

In addition to its fishing prospects, the Florida Keys offer a unique and captivating experience with their laid-back lifestyle, beautiful coral reefs, and diverse aquatic wildlife. The Keys are not just a fishing destination but a paradise for those seeking a tropical getaway with a variety of outdoor and recreational activities.

We had an amazing time! We had a special interest in Mahi and captain brad and his first mate made it happen. It was great, they made us feel super comfortable and confident. We were able to score Mackerel, Yellowtail and we latched on 3 Mahi’s at the very very last second! Super lucky. Brad and his first mate made it happen! We were able to leave with 2 mackerels and 2 Mahi Mahi’s! Thank you! You won’t regret booking with them. Special experience.
