Boa Vida Charters 1
+93Boa 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.

Great Afternoon
Half Day Trip (PM) on February 13, 2025
This was our second trip with Boa Vida Charters. We had a great time and caught several fish. Mike, our captain, made sure we had a wonderful time. He cleaned our fish so we could take it to a local restaurant for them to fix it for us. When we arrived back at the dock, the owners met us to make sure we had no problems getting off the boat, since we took my 83 year old mom out fishing with us. We had no problems since she does not act her age🤣. We visited with them for a bit. It was an all around great experience. Highly recommend Boa Vista!!

Half Day Trip (AM) on December 27, 2024
Captain Jason is a solid professional, and knows what he is doing. If the fish are not biting in one area, we went to the next landing a few yellow tails, a couple grouper, and a black tip shark. The shark steaks were really amazing. Highly recommend using Boa Vida Charters. Hats off to Maryann as well. She is great, and met us at the dock when we returned. Truly genuine salt of the earth people with this charter. Can't ask for more. Thank you both so much for the entire experience. Will be back. P, J, and T.

3/4 Day Trip (7:00 AM) on October 13, 2024
We had a fantastic fishing day thanks to the skill, knowledge, and perserverence of the captain. After the storm, not much had been biting. However, we caught several big fish from huge grouper keepers to amberjack to mackerel and of course barracudas and sharks. Also, plenty of yellowtail snapper and smaller fish. Fun day all around and caught more than we could possibly eat. Got lots of great fish pics! We could hear other boats on the radio ranting about not having any luck but we had plenty! Thank you so much!

Girlfriends first experience
Half Day Trip (AM) on December 14, 2024
Took my girlfriend on her first offshore trip. Captain Sean and Captain Rick were super patient with showing her the ropes. She was nervous but the crew took great care with making sure she had a great experience. The captain put us on fish right away so that helped in the experience. Awesome time and we will be back next year!
