3 Hour Inshore Fishing Charter

Short on time but still want to get out on the water? Our 3-hour trip is the perfect quick escape to experience fishing in the Florida Keys.

This trip is designed as an introduction to fishing—great for beginners, kids, and families looking to learn the basics, catch a few fish, and enjoy time on the water. While you’ll definitely have the chance to hook into some action, this trip isn’t focused on filling the cooler or bringing home dinner—it’s all about fun, learning, and making memories.

You can also mix it up with some snorkeling or a quick sandbar stop, making it a well-rounded adventure for everyone on board.

This trip is limited to five guest on the Boca. Please book the Mako, Venture or Hatteras for parties 6

4 Hour Reef and Wreck Fishing Charter

One of our most popular trips, this 4-hour charter is perfect for anglers looking to catch fresh fish and enjoy steady action on the water. Depending on wind and sea conditions, we’ll fish either the Atlantic reef line or the calm waters of Florida Bay to provide the most comfortable and productive experience possible.

These trips are ideal for families, beginners, and experienced anglers alike. We typically focus on filling the cooler with great-eating fish while targeting a variety of Florida Keys favorites including Yellowtail Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Grouper, Mackerel, Barracuda, and other hard-fighting reef species. Seasonal opportunities may also include Cobia, Wahoo, or Kingfish.

We run up to 10 miles offshore on the Oceanside and up to 12 miles into the Bayside waters during this trip. Every charter can be customized to match your group’s preferences and fishing goals, whether you want fast action, dinner for the table, or a mix of both.

This trip is limited to five guest on the Boca. Please book the Mako, Venture or Hatteras for parties 6

3 or 4 Hour Sunset Fishing Charter

Short on time but still want the full Florida Keys experience? Our 3 and 4 hour sunset fishing trips are built for action. We target reef and nearshore species that bite hard and fill coolers — then cruise home as the sky turns orange over the Gulf. This isn’t a slow sightseeing tour. This is bent rods, tight lines, and golden-hour memories.

Perfect for families, couples, and anyone who wants to fish without committing to a full day offshore.

6 Hour Reef, Wreck, Bridge or Gulf Trip

Captain Favorite! Experience a dynamic day on the water with our Reef and Wreck Fishing trip—venturing on the ocean side when the bite is hot and weather conditions allow. We'll target a wide variety of prized species, including Mutton Snapper, Yellowtail, Amberjack, Kingfish, Cero Mackerel, Sailfish, Tuna, Cubera Snapper, Black Grouper, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi. If ocean conditions are rough, no worries—your adventure continues in the sheltered waters near the 7-Mile Bridge or in the Gulf targeting additional species.

This trip gives you enough time to change it up if something isn’t working due to conditions or if you have already caught a limit of targeted species, you can go target something else. I’m a fan of the 6 hour trip.
