About Your Trip

When the turquoise waters of Key West start calling, there's no better way to answer than with a rod in hand and Captain Nick at the helm. This nearshore adventure delivers the perfect mix of tropical scenery and serious fishing, taking you just a few miles offshore into the action-packed zones where Atlantic and Gulf waters collide. Whether you're new to fishing or a seasoned pro chasing your next trophy, this trip hits the sweet spot for excitement and accessibility.

Captain Nick runs his trips aboard a sleek 30’ Whitewater center console powered by twin Yamaha engines. Outfitted with top-tier gear, a livewell packed with fresh bait, the setup is built for comfort, speed, and serious fishing. There’s room for up to six anglers, so bring your crew or family along for a high-energy day chasing big fish and even bigger memories.

The bite around Key West is nothing short of electric. You’ll be targeting a long list of heavy hitters, including Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna, Sailfish, Permit, Cobia, and multiple Grouper and Snapper species. Depending on conditions and what’s biting, you’ll use a mix of trolling, bottom fishing, jigging, and live bait tactics to get your hooks into the action. From hard-fighting Amberjack to sneaky Mangrove Snapper, there's never a dull moment.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports 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, 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.
