Cora Beth Fishing is located in Key West and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Capt. Cory will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 4 to 10-hour trips, mainly fishing for Snapper and Grouper. Anglers also often catch Barracuda, King Mackerel, Amberjack, and Cobia depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, bottom fishing, jigging and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 55' Yank Marine boat that can safely take up to 45 anglers but is limited to 28 for your comfort. This boat has a restroom, ice coolers and a light galley. The Cora Beth offers both indoor and outdoor seating.

All terminal tackle, and bait are included in the price. Fishing poles can be rented at the dock for $5 (rod rental is included in full day trip). If you have fishing equipment that you are partial to, you are more than welcome to bring it along! Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Cora Beth Fishing.

Lots of grunts, Captain showed me how to fish a chum slick for to catch yellow tail snapper

VERIFIED

Crew worked hard. They were unable to put us on mangrove snapper and it took the captain showing me how to use a lil jig head and small piece of ballyhoo(matching the chum slick pieces) to catch some nice keeper yellowtail. Captain worked hard to help out several people with technique and fish. His son and other crew worked hard dehooking fish and tying rigs. I probably caught 30 grunts. The action was on point, just not desirable species of fish to eat. Three red grouper were caught, couple sharks, and other yellowtail/mangrove snapper from the other fisherman. Overall it was a nice experience. Boat is nice and spacious. My only minor complaint is they were not able to put us on snapper. We jumped around a lot as well. But we had fun.

Amazing trip, fantastic crew

VERIFIED

I've been on many fishing trips here, this was by far the best one I've been on. The crew was absolutely phenomenal with everything. Captain Cory made sure everyone caught fish that we could take home, if enough people weren't catching fish in one area, we'd move to another. There were a few places we went that as soon as your line went down, it would hook something. Highly recommend going with this crew on this trip. We personally caught yellowtail, grouper, snapper and grunts. Can't say enough positive things about this trip, everything they did was perfect and they were all super friendly!

This is the best fishing and a real bargain

VERIFIED

We were expecting a great time, but this fishing adventure exceeded expectations for my 16-year old son and I in every way. The crew—courteous, crazy hard working, knowledgeable, and just dang fun to be around. The fish—sooooooooo many fish! We caught so many really nice snapper that we had a ton to share and still enough to eat for days. The experience—Key West on aqua water, dolphins, sunshine, and an unforgettable experience at a really fair price. This place is the model for how tourism should be done. Thanks Captain and crew!

My son and I went on the 9-hour trip with Captain Corey and his Deck Hand, Marshall. We couldn't have asked for a better combination of Captain and Crew. They were both very friendly and extremely helpful with keeping the gear in the water and on the fish. We caught some Yellowtail, Grunt, various Grouper, and even pulled in a legal Mutton! Corey and Marshall filleted our fish perfectly and we brought it to a nearby restaurant to be cooked. Amazing experience, and we would do it again and again!

Special 9 hour trip for Joel Elliott

Great crew, very personable, and hard working.

VERIFIED

I wanted to take my son (12) and my nephew (16) on a fishing trip and this one did not disappoint. The weather was awesome, the fish were biting, but more importantly Cory and Marshall killed it. They worked very hard to make sure all the customers were taken care of at first I thought it would be a mess with 20 people fishing, not with this captain and deck hand. If you are in Key West and need a charter, give this one a shot. We caught 60-70 fish and kept 20.
