About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Ryan to see what fishing the Florida Keys is known for: its Gorgeous and Bountiful backcountry, flats, and inshore waters! The 4 hour half day trip involves fishing the backcountry and inshore waters near and around Key West. You will usually stay within 9 nautical miles of the dock. The average depth of water is about 12'. We can target Tarpon, sharks, snapper, jacks , barracuda, Cobia and permit depending on time of year.

Sometimes, you may want to extend your stay on the water to a 6 hour trip. There are spots that are just a bit too far to be hit on the normal half-day trip that you can explore. More time on the water spent can equal more time reeling in the big ones!

Captain Ryan grew up along the river banks of the Rappahannock River in Virginia where he spent all his free time fishing for Bluegill and Bass. During his younger years he spent most of his summers in Boca Raton, Florida where he learned how to fish the salt. By age 10, Ryan was consistently catching 100+ lb. Tarpon and his love for the sport of fishing blossomed. Fast forward ten years to age 20, Ryan moved to Key West and has guided many of his clients to division winning tournaments where he has received many awards and accolades for “most Tarpon releases in 2017” and “Guide achievement”.

As a leading fishing charter in Key West, consider a day on the water with Ryan, a day with a leading expert in finding and catching an array of fish. Share your love of sport fishing with another angler dedicated to reeling in wins!

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
