Key West Deep Sea Fishing Charter

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 deep-sea fishing. Marine engines burble, ice crunches into coolers, live-well pumps hum, scattered radio transmissions crackle.

Reading the information in the 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. After a quick “Good Morning”, you hand him your group’s packs and duffels and he invites you to step onboard. You decide to linger on the dock for a few minutes and finish your coffee before getting aboard your 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 to head offshore and fight big fish 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, because with a couple of clicks and a few emails and phone calls you could have a Inside Key West Private Key West deep sea fishing charter set up for the sole enjoyment of yourself and whoever you would like to include in your party.

Because Inside Key West Key West’s number 1 online concierge service, offers full access to private deep sea fishing charter trips out on the open Atlantic Ocean waters to the east of Key West. These are the Gulf Stream and deepwater offshore sites that have been internationally renowned for trophy big game fishing from the early 1900s onward, with the exploits of celebrity deep sea anglers like Zane Grey, Ernest Hemingway, Bing Cosby, Lee Marvin, and many others propelling 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 are abundant as well, and when they move in to savage the huge schools of baitfish along the reef edges and weed lines in the late fall and spring, a fisherman might hook 20 sailfish in a day. Colorful Mahi-Mahi provides 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 you winching 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.
