Trip Options & Pricing
Our deep sea fishing charters range from 4 to 12 hours, with pricing based on trip length and boat selection. Private charters start at $850 for a half-day trip on our 36' Hatteras Cowboy — our best value option for families and small groups.
Prefer not to book the whole boat? Our shared fishing charters start at $200 per person for a 4-hour trip. You'll fish alongside other anglers on a scheduled departure — same great fishing, lower cost.
All charters include rods, reels, tackle, bait, fishing licenses, ice, and fish cleaning. Just bring sunscreen, snacks, and a sense of adventure. Book online or call/text us at (305) 304-2946 to check availability.

What You Can Catch
The deep waters off Key West hold some of the most sought-after gamefish in the Atlantic. Mahi-mahi (also called dolphin) are the most popular catch — fast, acrobatic fighters that put on a spectacular show and taste incredible on the grill. Peak season runs March through June, but we catch them year-round.
Wahoo are prized for their blistering runs — often hitting 60+ mph on the initial strike. Fall and winter bring the best wahoo fishing. Blackfin tuna are powerful fighters that show up strongest in January and February, making excellent sashimi and steaks.
Sailfish are the acrobats of the deep sea — known for spectacular jumps and bill-walking across the surface. November through March is prime sailfish season. And for the ultimate trophy, blue marlin patrol these waters from May through September. Marlin are catch-and-release, but there's nothing like seeing a big blue light up behind the baits.
