Private Key West Deep Sea Fishing Charter

A Key West deep sea fishing dream – Imagine the docks of Key West’s historic charter boat row in the early morning. The air is cool, the water calmly laps the pilings, and small fish flip for food on the surface. Few fishermen are on the scene yet; most of the activity consists of captains and mates preparing vessels and gear for another day of Key West charter fishing. Marine engines burble, ice crunches into coolers, live-well pumps hum, scattered radio transmissions crackle.

Reading the information in the Fish Key West email on your phone, you walk along the dock to your boat. The mate is on deck rigging various terminal setups to the numerous rods lined up in the holders. A quick "Good Morning" and you hand him your group’s packs then he invites you to step onboard. You decide to linger on the dock for a few minutes and finish your coffee before getting aboard the fishing boat and settling in for the run out. The few scattered clouds are still pink with dawn, and it looks to be a great day for hunting and fighting big fish out in the deep water.

Does this sound like a dream to you? Maybe it’s a fishing show on one of the cable channels? It could easily be a reality. With a couple of clicks and a few emails, you could have a Fish Key West Private Key West Deep Sea Fishing Charter set up for yourself and whoever you would like to include in the party.

It is up to you because, with a private charter, the Key West charter fishing boat is all yours.

Fish Key West, the number 1 charter fishing concierge service in Key West, offers full access to Key West deep sea fishing charter trips out on the open Florida Strait waters between Key West and Cuba. These Atlantic Ocean Gulf Stream and deepwater offshore sites have been world famous for trophy big game fishing since the early 1900s, when the exploits of celebrity deep sea anglers like Zane Grey, Ernest Hemingway, Bing Cosby, Lee Marvin, and many others put dreams of Key West deep sea fishing adventure into the imaginations of fishermen everywhere.

Today, these waters are still home to the mighty 1000lb. Atlantic Blue Marlin, the most famous of all offshore billfish. Fast, high-jumping Sailfish move in packs as they savage huge schools of baitfish along the reef edges and weed lines in the late fall and spring, when a lucky fisherman might hook 20 Sailfish in a day. Colorful Mahi-Mahi provide fast action and good eating throughout late spring and summer.

High-speed, hard-hitting predators like Barracuda, Blackfin Tuna, Kingfish, and Wahoo will strip your reel bare and challenge you to stop their runs. Deep-water bait fishing over wrecks and reefs will have your arm muscles on fire as you winch up Amberjack, Cobia, Grouper, Yellowtail Snapper, and Sharks including the awesome Hammerhead. When you send the bait deep on a Key West offshore fishing trip, you never know what is going to hit next.
