Florida Keys Sunset and Fishing Charter Marathon, FL

Our Florida Keys Sunset Fishing Charter in Marathon, Florida is one of the most relaxing and memorable ways to experience fishing in the Keys. This evening trip combines light tackle fishing with the beauty of a world-famous Florida Keys sunset, creating the perfect mix of action and scenery on the water.

This charter is ideal for families, couples, beginners, and anyone looking for a shorter fishing trip that still delivers real action. As the sun begins to set over the Gulf of Mexico, we fish productive nearshore and reef waters around Marathon where snapper, jacks, barracuda, and other seasonal species are often actively feeding during the evening bite.

Unlike a sightseeing cruise, this is a real fishing charter at sunset, where we focus on keeping lines in the water, catching fish, and enjoying steady action as the sky transforms into shades of orange, pink, and purple. On clear evenings, guests may also get the chance to witness the rare and beautiful “green flash” just as the sun dips below the horizon—a quick burst of green light that has become one of the most sought-after natural moments in the Florida Keys.

Depending on conditions, we may fish the reef line, bridges, or nearby inshore waters to stay on active fish and make the most of the golden hour bite window. It’s a laid-back but exciting way to end the day on the water.

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

Captain Kerry’s Take:
Sunset is one of my favorite times to fish in the Keys. The water cools, bait moves shallow, and fish get active again. It’s a great window for steady action—and when conditions line up, that sunset over the Gulf with a possible green flash is something you never forget.

What Guests Say:
Guests often describe this as one of the most peaceful yet exciting parts of their vacation. They love that they’re not just watching the sunset—they’re actively fishing while it happens.

Many families say it’s the perfect trip for kids because it’s shorter and easygoing, but still full of action. Couples often call it one of the most romantic experiences in the Florida Keys, especially when the sky lights up at sunset.
