Group fishing charters in Key West work great for solo travelers, couples, and small groups of up to 4 who don't want to pay for a full private boat. It's also ideal for first-timers who want to learn the ropes alongside other anglers. Our crew teaches you everything — baiting hooks, reading the water, fighting a fish — so beginners feel right at home from the moment you leave the dock.

Our shared trips target the same species as private charters. Mahi-mahi are the stars — their bright colors and acrobatic jumps make every catch unforgettable. Blackfin tuna fight hard and taste amazing. Wahoo are speedsters that test your reflexes.

Closer to the reef, you'll find snapper and grouper. These bottom fish are fun to catch and delicious to eat. Mackerel, barracuda, and jacks add even more action to the day. Depending on the season, sailfish and sharks may make an appearance too.

Three generations of the Baumgarten family have run these charters. We know Key West waters like no one else. Our captains find fish consistently, and our crew makes everyone feel welcome — whether it's your first time on a boat or your fiftieth.

Everything you need comes with your ticket. All rods, reels, and tackle. Live bait and cut bait. Fishing licenses. Coolers with ice. And after the trip, we clean your fish for free.

Just bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and snacks. We'll handle the rest.
