    About This Charter

    Step aboard the Irish Cowboy, a 40-foot Luhrs sportfishing vessel offering a smooth offshore ride, cold A/C, and plenty of space for families and serious anglers. This private charter accommodates up to six guests and delivers comfort, capability, and versatility for your Key West fishing adventure.

    The Irish Cowboy was designed for longer days on the water, featuring a fully air-conditioned cabin to escape the Florida heat, comfortable lounge seating for relaxing between bites, a clean private restroom, and a wide stable platform ideal for offshore conditions. The twin diesel engines provide reliable power and a smooth, confident ride to the best fishing grounds in the Florida Keys.

    Why Choose the Irish Cowboy

    The Irish Cowboy stands out for its balance of performance and comfort. Unlike smaller boats, this 40 ft Luhrs offers a stable ride, shaded areas, and an air-conditioned cabin—making it perfect for longer trips offshore. Whether you're targeting mahi, tuna, sailfish, or reef species, this boat gives you the range and comfort to fish longer and enjoy the day.

    Comfortable Offshore Fishing Experience

    Unlike smaller boats, the 40-foot Luhrs offers genuine comfort for extended trips. The air-conditioned cabin means everyone can cool off between fish, making this an excellent choice for families with children or guests who want a premium experience. The two 50-lb fighting chairs are tournament-grade, giving you the leverage needed to battle big game fish.

    What Makes Key West Fishing Special?

    Key West sits at the convergence of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, creating one of the most diverse fisheries in North America. The warm Gulf Stream current passes nearby, bringing nutrient-rich waters and migratory species year-round. From the shallow wrecks and reefs teeming with snapper and grouper to the deep offshore waters holding marlin and tuna, Key West offers something for every angler.

    Cowboy Fish: The Local Term for Saltwater Success

    When locals talk about "cowboy fish" in Key West, they're referring to the cowboy-style action you'll find offshore — fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping fishing where big fish hit hard and fight harder. The Irish Cowboy lives up to that reputation, built for the kind of sport fishing that makes Key West famous worldwide.

    Three Generations of Fishing Excellence

Three generations of the Baumgarten family have guided thousands of guests to trophy catches.
