Fishizzle Sportfishing Charters offers you a relaxing and fun day of fishing in Key West, Florida. 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.

The grounds around Key West are an excellent source of prized fish. To name just some of the species you get to catch, there's Great Barracuda, Blue Marlin, Cero Mackerel, and Mahi Mahi. 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!

Best trip!

Half Day Trip on June 6, 2026 • 5 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!

Friendly and professional crew and gear

Half Day Trip on July 1, 2025 • 1 adult • 2 children

Captain and mate were both friendly and also experienced professionals. The boat is a classic beauty and the gear was all first class.  Have been on many charters, and this ranks with the best. And they entertained my 12 year old son and 13 year old nephew.  They gave us the option to stay near shore and catch more on bottom fish or to go farther out and try for Mahi. We went for the Mahi, and while we only caught 4 (each was beautiful), the captain and mate worked non stop the whole four hours making sure we were baited up and lines out. It was a great day. The boat does have some exhaust fumes - never been on a fishing charter that doesn’t. It’s a massive comfortable fishing boat. Plenty room for 6 folks (maybe more).

Exceeded expectations

3/4 Day Trip on June 24, 2025 • 3 adults

Captain Todd brought us out on a less than perfect day (wind), he navigated us with precision to the blue water while the mate simultaneously  rigged everything up to perfection and kept our sides splitting with funny anecdotes. We caught about  twenty throw-backs and 4 keepers (all mahi mahi) (we specifically asked to catch mahi mahi.) honestly an all around amazing experience. The mate also took our biggest fish and gave an educated demonstration of Gyotaku, then stamped and framed the impression for us to keep as a souvenir. You can’t beat riding your bike from your vacation rental to the docks, spending an amazing day on the water with a fantastic fisherman enjoying the hell out of the day, then hopping on your bicycle and riding home with about 12 pounds of fresh mahi fillet. 10/10 would recommend

Perfect Guys Trip

Half Day Trip - 12:00 PM on June 1, 2026 • 4 adults

Went with 3 work buddies and we each caught a Mahi Mahi. After the charter, the crew fileted the fish and we took the meat to a nearby restaurant. It was DELICIOUS. Crew was very cool, friendly, and funny.
