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 and tuna tubes.

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.
