Make some memories in Stock Island and go fishing with Key West Conchlife Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain James can tell you all about them.

You're likely to fish for Redfish, Amberjack, Tarpon, Snappers, Permit, Mahi Mahi, and more with any luck. For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle, depending on the type of trip. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.

Capt. James runs a 36' Invincible center console with space for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for some fishing! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

It's recommended to bring sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Key West Conchlife Charters and get hooked!

Fished to the Max!
Half Day Trip – Inshore Fishing on March 21, 20263 adults

We had a great morning out with Capt James - caught more fish than we could count and left with a cooler of keepers which James perfectly filleted for us. He was great with our teens as well and kept them busy reeling in snappers. Even caught a shark!

Reported catch:
Mangrove Snapper

Captain James was great. Very knowledgeable about where to fish. We all caught some. My husband caught a 40 lb. Goliath. James cleaned our fish and wr had enough for a great meal. Very easy to talk to and has a great knowledge about the area. We will book again when we are back in the Keys.

I was born and raised in Key West Fl. I've fished Key West to Dry Tortugas my whole life. I guess it's easy enough to say it's in my blood! Join me for an adventure of your own.
