About Your Trip

You have come to the right boat to catch fish on your deep sea fishing charter in Key West Florida. Fishing on board our air conditioned 46’ Bertram Sportfish we offer a variety of charters and types of fishing to make your charter in Key West fun and productive. We troll dead and live baits, jigging and live bait dropping on wrecks, and anchoring on choice reef formations and wrecks are few of our fishing techniques.

We run half day, partial day, and full day fishing charters year round for private groups of up to six people. The boat is an air conditioned, 46' Bertram Sportfish. We offer value prices that give you the nicest, roomiest, and most comfortable charter boat in Key West. The vessel has an enclosed anglers lounge for getting out of the weather and a large, full sized restroom. Our boat also has a full size refrigerator to keep your lunch fresh, but not soggy, and a large well iced beverage cooler in the cockpit right where it is needed.

I'm Captain Steve, and I will be your captain for this charter. I've been on the boat for almost 20 years. I started as the mate and for the past four years as the captain. My passion is finding the fish and doing what I can to bring in the big ones.

Great Captain, great Mate, great boat and great time! Captain Steve got us on the Mahi and slayed em! Full limit on Mahi and a couple of barracuda. We had one sailfish come look but not for lack of trying! Jeff knows his stuff and never stopped working and made sure we were fishing the entire time. We completed our limit by landing all three of a triple set. ...

Everything was top notch, Great communication from start to finish. Capt and 1 Mate were both professional and knowledgeable and put me on fish. Only down side was when I lost a Sailfish 🙁 but landed this nice Barracuda off a Tripple set of Barracudas 🤷‍♂️😂
