Capt. Ariel Sportfishing – Key Largo
+14Explore the legendary reefs and flats of Key Largo with Captain Ariel Sportfishing Charters. As these waters are blessed with a year-round fishing season, it’s always a great time to start your adventure. There are 2 boats available, a 25’ and 20’.
You’ll be fishing aboard a 25’ Custom, which is perfect for shallow water. This neat vessel will give you a stable and comfortable ride. She accommodates up to three guests, so bring along your fishing buddies or family. There’s navigational electronics, a 150 HP Yamaha engine, and an ice box.
There’s a variety of fish species you can go after, depending on what fishing techniques you want to try out or what time of year you visit. Flats and backcountry can get you Permit, Tarpon, Bonefish, and Snook. Other spots will let you cast for Redfish, Tripletail, and Snapper, while deeper water holds Mako Shark and Barracuda.
You can keep most of the catch and the captain will clean it for you free of charge. Your light tackle with bait is covered and you can also request fly fishing equipment, if you want to take a challenge. The captain also covers your license, so you only need to bring some snacks and food. A hat and sunglasses are always a good idea in sunny Florida.
Capt. Ariel Sportfishing is at your service whether you’re here to level up your game or cast a line for the first time in your life. Enjoy the nature, enjoy the chase, and in the end, enjoy the tasty fish!

Very patient, nice, and great with kids
Full Day Trip on July 14, 2023
I have gone a few times with Ariel. I have taken my kids (~8/10 years old). He will teach them and help you fish. He also measures the fish and throws back under size. So if you want a guide who is conscious of the ocean, this is your guide. He is also very knowledgeable about fish and will teach you stuff. Overall, great experience every time I’ve gone.
