Kekoa Charters operates out of the sportfishing paradise of Islamorada, right in the heart of the Florida Keys. They offer a range of trips, targeting the A-list cast of table and sportfish that call the area home. Whether you’re after delicious food fare or hard-fighting game species, you won’t be disappointed fishing with these guys!
Spend your day aboard a 34 Regulator. The boat is rock-steady both on the move and anchored up thanks to her heavy V bottom carolina design. She has a covered top to keep Sunshine State’s tropical heat at bay, and a head for extra convenience on longer trips.
Kekoa Charters offers trips ranging from four to eight hours, either hitting the reefs or heading further out in search of bigger fish. Reef & wreck trips will bring in a huge range of Snappers, from Yellowtail to Yelloweye and from Red to Vermillion. You can also find bigger game like Goliath Grouper and Greater Amberjack if you really want a workout.
Fancy taking on the ocean’s top predators? Head offshore to battle Marlin, Tuna, Sailfish, and more! No matter the depth, these are some real monsters you’ll be taking on!
All trips come with tackle, bait, lures, and licenses. There is a first mate onboard who will work himself to the bone to get you on the fish and will even clean and fillet your fish at the end of the trip (15-20% gratuity is the industry standard).
The fishing is always good in the Keys, so pack your sunscreen, sunglasses, water, and camera, and climb aboard for a trip you will never forget!

Half Day Trip - Reef & Wreck (PM)
Caught about 30 fish in 4 hours, including 6 different species (yellow tail, grouper, two types of mackeral, barracuda, shark). Captain George and assisted by his son Georgie, are the best fishing guides we’ve had in the Keys.

We were on fish within 45 minutes of leaving the dock. Caught many yellowfin, and son hooked into a monster grouper. Crew knew how to fish and change strategies to catch whatever was there. Family had a great time.

1/4 Day Reef Trip (AM)
Doc and George are incredibly caring, welcoming, and knowledgeable. We had two young kids and two seniors in our group, and they ensured that we were having a fun and comfortable time throughout the trip. They taught us about various types of fish we had never seen before, and explained which ones we could keep and which ones needed to be released. My son enjoyed the experience so much that we requested an extension to the trip, and Doc and George kindly accommodated our request. The kids are already asking when we can come back, and we certainly will. Heartfelt gratitude to Doc and George for providing us with an unforgettable experience!
