Together with Captain Todd Ermisch and his crew, you'll go nearshore and offshore and explore Key West's rich waters along with reefs and wrecks searching for a fine catch. Just pick a day for your next sea adventure and hop aboard!

Your trip will start on a 42' Stapleton offshore sport fishing boat that holds plenty of space for up to 6 guests. Thanks to its twin 350 HP Caterpillar engine and comprehensive navigation technology, the boat will quickly and safely take you to the fish. Its extensive fishing gear includes downriggers, outriggers, a fighting chair, and livewell. The boat's various amenities also include accessibility to wheelchairs, a toilet, and an ice-box. To make your trip even more comfortable, a first mate will be on board to give you any help needed.

You'll target them on light and heavy tackle by deep sea and bottom fishing, trolling, and spinning. You're free to either keep your catch or release it and children are welcome to join aboard.

Captain Todd provides you with all the fishing gear, licenses, bottled water, and he'll also clean and fillet your catch for free. Just bring some food and your adventure can begin.

Come visit Fishizzle Sportfishing Charters and have a terrific time fishing!

great trip
3/4 Day Trip on August 1, 20262 adults

had a wonderful time. The trip accommodated our wishes for what we were looking for (sailfish sport and dinner fish). Explained the regulations for this area related to fish, told entertaining stories and fileted everything quick with recommendations for where to get our fish cooked.

Great Day of Fishing
3/4 Day Trip on July 10, 20265 adults

We set out for the Gulf of America. We had Barracuda, snapper and Grouper in mind. The waves were 2-2.5ft swells. We were not able to fish the bottom so we had the best time trolling and bringing in Barracuda’s. The Captain was super at navigating and keeping the boat under control. We reeled in 8 barracuda fish. The largest was 48” and about 35lbs. The first mate was top notch. One of the best days out there fishing

Four happy customers eating Wahoo
Half Day Trip - 12:00 PM on June 9, 20264 adults

Had party of four. Captain was busy as this was a trolling trip out, but enjoyed talking with him after we finished. First mate was very entertaining, many stories and fishing facts. Had two chairs for reeling in and all four of us sat multiple times in the chairs… resulting in couple Mahi Mahi and a Wahoo that were large enough to bring home (caught and released bunch other). Anyways, had great time — will be a great memory that we will talk about for life.

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
Wahoo

Best trip!
Half Day Trip on June 6, 20265 adults

Can't say enough good things about our charter. We were on the bite almost as soon as we put lines in the water and the action almost never stopped! The crew was great, made everything simple and kept us entertained. We'd highly recommend booking with them and would love to again when we go back to Key West!

Reported catch:
