Jersey Key Charters
While on the Jersey Key you will notice instantly that we run a clean, professional, and friendly operation. While fishing with us, you can be as hands-on or hands-off as you would like. We enjoy letting our customers cast and hook their own fish, but we have no problem hooking them for you if you'd like!
We like to emphazise that we will not take you out in terrible conditions just to collect. We want every trip to have a fun and successful day on the water. We are always looking for repeat customers!!
We pride ourselves in using all top-of-the-line tackle and keep everything in perfect condition. Whether looking for a relaxing day of family fishing on the reef or chasing trophy fish offshore we will make sure to meet your request! Our job is to catch you fish and that is what we do best! We will not sit in one spot and say sorry the fish just aren't biting today. We will work hard and burn fuel to make sure your day is successful.
While on board you can play your own music on our Bluetooth stereo, kick back, unwind, and witness the beautiful and amazing fishing the Florida Keys waters have to offer.
Captain Mike will be taking you fishing aboard a beautiful 32' Contender that is tournament rigged and ready for anything. This great vessel comes with all the amenities you need for a productive day including 3 livewells, large fish-boxes, seating, and plenty of shade for you to escape the heat. On the deck, there's plenty of room for all anglers to be able to be involved while being comfortable.

Had an amazing experience on this fishing charter! The captain and crew were knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time. The boat was clean, well maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a successful day on the water. We were able to catch plenty of fish, and the crew was always available to help with baiting hooks, giving tips, and making the experience enjoyable for everyone, regardless of skill level. The scenery was beautiful, and the entire trip was well-organized from start to finish. I highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun and memorable fishing trip. I’ll definitely be booking again the next time I’m in the area!
This trip was definitely one of the best we've ever had. We caught lots of Mangrove Snapper and even chased a mystery fish that brokeoff after quite a fight. We go on a fishing trip every year and this was our best so far. Captain Mike was awesome! He made sure everyone was rigged for success and even worked around one of our peeps sea sickness. Highly recommend and we will charter with Captain Mike again.
My wife and I were down for our anniversary and asked Captain Mike if he thought we could get on some mahi. Within a few hours of the trip we had a full box of mahi and had one of the most enjoyable charter trips we have been on. Mike is a great guy to be around and you can tell he really loves what he does. We will definitely be using him when we are down from now on. I highly recommend him!
This was our second year fishing with Capt Mike and once again he gave us 2 great trips. We have fished with many other charters in the past but by far we enjoy fishing with him the most, extremely patient and always trying to make your trip more enjoyable and will go the extra mile to find you fish. We fished 2 days with him and caught muttons,tilefish, a handful of mahi and the a couple of yellowedge grouper. With one of the yellowedge pushing 30lbs (of course my wife caught that one). We will be back again next year for sure.
Mike put us on GIANT snapper, and we had action all day. Both he and the first mate were extremely patient with me while I proceeded to snap off at least a dozen fish that were in addition to the ones we caught. This was our second time with Jersey Key, and we are already looking forward to next time. If he is available, I wouldn't consider anyone else.
