Waypoint Fishing Charters invites you to get up close and personal with the prolific waters of the Florida Keys. The company is operated by Captain Nate, an Iran war veteran who is a local fishing guide with thousands of hours of experience on the water.

Unhappy with the “turn and burn” style of fishing found in the larger resort areas, Nate chooses to fish in the more laid back area of the Lower Keys where his goal is to take care of people and have them itching to come back to fish again.

Capt. Nate specializes in targeting all the species that call the waters of the Keys home. You can expect to target anything from the Silver King” Tarpon to Permit, Bonefish, Barracuda, Jacks, Sharks, Redfish, Snook, and Snapper.

A lot of those species offer constant action and make great fun for younger anglers. If you want to introduce your kids to the art of fishing without having to go too far out, a trip with Waypoint Fishing Charter is exactly what the doctor ordered. Plus, you won’t have to worry about spending a bunch of money to catch nothing with Capt. Nate’s “No Catch - No Pay” policy.

You will be fishing aboard a 16’ Hewes Bonefisher Flats boat. It comes powered by a 90 HP Yamaha engine and can comfortably take up to 2 anglers. The boat is equipped with a fish finder and a GPS, as well as a wireless trolling motor, an icebox, and a live well.

All trips with Capt. Nate and his Waypoint Fishing Charters come inclusive with everything you need to make a great catch possible. You will only need to bring your food and drinks, show up, and have fun!
