Key West Fishing Charters
Key West Angling Offers So Many Ways To Enjoy The Waters Of The Lower Keys.
Those who come to Key West and the Lower Florida Keys that do not spend a day or two on the water are missing the point. You do not need to be an expert fisherman or woman to connect with and enjoy the tropical environment that Key West is blessed with. Actually, you don’t need to be a fisherman at all. Key West Angling offers a variety of different charter options to get you, your colleagues, your friends, and your family out on the water experiencing the “real” Key West.
Captain Travis Holeman and his team of guides are US Coast Guard licensed, insured, and excited to show you a safe, fun day on the water.
Key West Angling Offers Many Ways To Get On The Water
Group Fishing Trips
Round up a group of friends, business colleagues, or perhaps some random people you met on Duval Street the other night and come catch some fish. Key West Angling can accommodate groups of any size.
Family Fishing Trips
Spending quality time together fishing with loved ones will create memories that you all will share. Treat mom and dad to a fun day on the water or get your kids off of their phones and into the great outdoors.
Individual Fishing Trips
In Key West for business? Maybe just to party? Don’t let being the only one in your crew that wants to see more than the inside of the bars stop you from experiencing some of the best fishing in the world.
Fly Fishing Trips
The long rod, the buggy whip…whatever you want to call it, when conditions are right, catching fish on a fly rod is one of the most gratifying experiences in fishing. Inshore and offshore fly fishing trips are available to anglers of all skill levels.
Spearfishing Trips
Bring your mask, snorkel, fins, and speargun and jump into the clear water and explore our reefs and wrecks. Our Captains are all US Coast Guard licensed and insured and can help you have a safe and enjoyable spearfishing experience.
Lobster Trips
Ever catch, cook, and eat your own lobster? Florida offers a recreational lobster season, and the nearshore habitat of the Lower Keys gives people the opportunity to catch lobster in clean, clear, shallow water. Half day and full day lobster trips are available.
Eco Tours
Maybe fishing isn’t your thing. If you are looking to get a closer look at the Lower Florida Keys ecosystem without wetting a line, then taking one of our private Key West eco tours is a great option. See birds, fish, dolphins, sharks, rays, and more.
Sandbar Trips
The Florida Keys lacks beaches in the traditional sense. When locals want to kick back on some white sand and enjoy the sounds and sights of the “beach”, they usually head to one or our backcountry’s many sandbars with good company when the tide is low.
Sunset Cruises
Key West has some of the most beautiful sunsets on the planet. Enjoy a glass of wine on an evening cruise with friends and family and take in the sunset from a unique perspective. Relax and enjoy the solitude that only one of our private Key West sunset cruises can provide.
There Are A Lot Of Different Ways We Fish Key West
Reef Fishing
Key West is bordered by North America’s only barrier reef. The reef attracts life in all levels of the water column. Drop your bait down, and you never know what you will catch. Groupers, snappers, kingfish, permit, cobia, and more can all be caught while reef fishing.
Wreck Fishing
The Lower Keys are dotted with the remains of sunken ships. These man made structures provide habitat for a multitude of species of fish. Permit, snappers, groupers, barracuda, sharks, cobia, and more can all be caught while wreck fishing in Key West.
Deep Dropping
Head out way past the reef to the blue water and drop a bait hundreds of feet down the cold dark depths. The fish that live this deep are the creatures of legends. You might just catch a giant swordfish, some tasty tilefish, or some delicious queen snapper.
Trolling
With the boat in gear and your lines trailing behind, we will try to entice some of Key West’s pelagic species to bite a moving bait or lure. Trolling is one of the most productive ways to catch fish such as sailfish, tuna, dolphin, kingfish, wahoo, and more.
Shrimp Boat Fishing
When the shrimp boats are trawling the waters off of Key West, they create a feeding frenzy based on the by-catch that is caught and thrown back overboard. This mix of fish, shrimp, and crustaceans attracts fish such as tuna , mackerel, and more.
Flats Fishing
Ever see a permit or bonefish tailing on a flat? How about a tarpon flying through the air on the end of your line? Fish for the big 3 on the miles of shallow water flats of the Lower Florida Keys with conventional tackle and/or fly fishing gear.
