About Your Trip

Wreck fishing is a fantastic way to bend your rod on some big fish, and there's no better way to enjoy it than this trip with Captain Billy! He's been on the water his whole life, working as a first mate before he opened his own charter business down in Key West.

On this trip, you'll start off at the reef to catch some delicious eating fish for dinner, then head to deeper water and more sunken structure to hunt for something big. On the reef, you'll be targeting tough, hard-fighting species such as Amberjack (known as "reef donkeys" for their stubbornness), Barracuda, Mutton Snapper, and Black Grouper. Snapper and Grouper are especially prized as eating fish for their flaky white filets!

On the day of the trip, you'll set out aboard Captain Billy's 26' Renaissance Prowler—a perfect vessel for fishing the Florida Keys. It's equipped with everything you could possibly need for a successful and comfortable trip, including GPS, Fishfinder, live well, and an ice box for your catches. Captain Billy will provide everything, including top-of-the-line rods, reels, bait, and tackle, so that all you have to do is cast out, hook up, and then hold on for the fight of your life!

To maximize your time on the water, make sure to bring proper clothing, a hat, sunscreen, and a camera! A trip with Captain Billy is sure to be picture-worthy.
