Boa Vida Charters continues to provide great fishing service to its guests, aboard the company's original boat. Come join our carefully selected Captains, with the highest expectation and lots of experience under their belts to have a memorable day fishing the waters around Key West, Florida. Whether you go inshore or offshore, they will make sure you catch fish and have the best time possible. Pick a day that suits you and embark on your next fishing adventure!

Your ride will be a freshly restored 30' Seavee center console powered by twin 175 HP Suzuki engines, with enough room for up to 6 people. The reliable navigation system makes hunting safe and efficient. There'll be an onboard ice-box to keep drinks cool. The boat's amenities also include a livewell.

A wide choice of fishing areas awaits you – inshore, nearshore, offshore, as well as reefs, wrecks, and the backcountry. There's also a great number of species you'll target. From Snapper and Grouper to Sailfish and Wahoo, and even Shark. Using both light and heavy tackle, you'll be bottom fishing, deep sea fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, and popping. Bring some kids too and show them what life on the water looks like. Maybe they'll become anglers themselves someday. You're free to keep whatever you catch. In that case, the crew will clean and fillet your fish so you can easily prepare it at home.

Boa Vida Charters covers you for all the gear. Tackle, rods, and reels are included in the price, and so are live bait and lures. They even have fishing licenses, so the only things you may need are snacks and drinks.

Join Boa Vida Charters and their crew, and go beyond usual fishing trips in the lovely waters of Key West.

    Best day of our week in Key West

    3/4 Day Trip (7AM) on May 14, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had a Blast!!!! started a little slow trolling for Mahi Mahi, but we did get one in the boat. Later Captain Jason set us up for bottom fish and GAME ON!!! We caught a variety of fish Black and Red Grouper, Mutton snapper, Yellow Tail, and a Mutton snapper (all keepers)!!! captain Jason was a very nice hard working youg man that kept the bite on. We were exhausted. We had a very relaxing a scenic ride on the way back to end our day. STRONGLY RECOMMEND.

    the best in key west

    Half Day Trip - 8:00 AM on December 21, 2025 • 6 adults • 2 children

    captain started off by double checking what we wanted to experience out of the trip and EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS! family of 6; my wife and, 3 kids and an adult family member with special needs. Captain made sure we all had the experience if catching big fish and an amazing variety! answered all questions our kids had and was so patient when we asked to switch fishing styles. start to finish the best service and attention, even fileting and portioning off the fish to keep species seperated. captain suggested where we take the catch and to make it for happy hour, the spot was the best we had during our 4 night stay. a fishing trip our entire family will forever remember. boa vida and their captain set new benchmarks to what we expect for fishing trips!

    Best Day Ever

    Half Day Trip on February 18, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    From our first interaction to the our last, I cant say enough good things about our experience. Jason was professional, kind and patient. He asked us what we wanted to try to catch and our 7yr old wanted to try for a shark. Off we went. The first spot no hits and within a short amount of time Jason knew we needed to head for another spot. Once there within minutes we all had a fish on. We caught red grouper, snapper, grunts, spanish and king mackerel and even a shark! Everyone had a great time and would highly recommend! We will definitely come again.

    From start to finish Boa made our family day on the water great. We booked a half day hybrid fishing and sand bar day and it was great. I have two littles 7 and 5, we caught more fish than they could remember as well as 3 sharks! Captain Jason was patient and full of energy and we had a blast. Will not hesitate to book with them again!

Excellent trip! I asked to try to catch certain species and they NAILED it!
Half Day Trip - 8:00 AM on April 30, 2026 • 2 adults

First time fishing Key West and I asked if we could go after Mahi and snappers. Captain Jason obliged and took out trolling and within an hour I had my first NICE sized Mahi. After trying a bit for sailfish we came in closer and drifted a reef. Caught several yellowtail and a couple of nice size Lane Snapper. I will be a return charter for sure!!
