About Your Trip

Join us for an unforgettable fishing adventure on Big Pine Key, located in the world-famous Florida Keys.
This is a four-day, all-inclusive trip! Just fly into the Key West airport and everything else is taken care of- transportation, lodging, meals and daily guided fishing. You’ll arrive the day before your adventure begins and depart the day after. Three of these days will be spent on the water fishing with the best local guides in the area, with the fourth day being a weather day in case the need arises to reschedule. This extra day is usually spent doing land-based activities or squeezing in an additional day of fishing. The fishing will consist of a variety of techniques including deep dropping, kite fishing, reef/wreck fishing, and run-and-gun for Mahi and Tuna. Guide boats are usually 28ft center counsels with livewells and plenty of space for everyone!
All meals are included (except restaurant visits): continental style breakfast options, sandwiches made for lunch on the boat, and fresh fish dinners cooked at the house. The house is a 3 bedroom, 3 bath right on a canal to the ocean. Between the Keys Deer in the backyard and the Manatees in the canal, this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime trip and one you won't want to miss!
