About Your Trip

Lionfish are an invasive fish, originally from the Indo-Pacific, that have been introduced to the Florida Keys and Caribbean islands. These fish have no natural predators, reproduce quickly, and are decimating our native fish populations. The most productive way to eradicate these invasive fish is by spearfishing!

We strive to make your snorkeling experience truly unforgettable! From individuals to families and everything in-between, our luxury private snorkeling charters will give you the very best experience you’ll find in the Florida Keys!

We specialize in promoting sustainable spearfishing practices. A big part of that is invasive Lionfish Eradication. Over the years, we have removed thousands of Lionfish and introduced hundreds of divers to safe Lionfish hunting techniques. We also work closely with state and federal agencies, as well as non-profits, to support research efforts and to better understand the Lionfish invasion.

When it comes to Lionfish, we know where to find them and how to safely remove them. Best of all, they are a delicious delicacy for you to take with you! Let our experienced Lionfish guides take you on a conservation experience you will never forget, all equipment is included!

Tony and Scotty were very courteous and did their best to get us into fish. Weather was not in our favor as it was cold and water temp was cold. Landed a 6 foot sail fish, some Atlantic spades and a rainbow racer! Great day on the water!!
