Livin' The Dream Charters 25'

Livin’ The Dream Charters LLC is located in Little Torch Key and offers you a memorable time on the water. We offer 4 to 8-hour trips. We specialize in Lower Keys adventures, like fishing, spearfishing, lobstering, snorkeling, sandbar trips, and more!

For fishing, we love to target Snapper, Dolphin, Cobia, Grouper, Sailfish, and Hogfish, depending on the season and conditions on the day. We use techniques such as light tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, big game fishing, drift fishing, jigging, spearfishing, and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 25’ Downeaster boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat comes with an ice-box full of drinks and all the bait and tackle we will need. Your trip also includes all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. We will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip.

For sandbar trips, snorkeling, and sunset cruises we can take up to 8 guests.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Livin’ The Dream Charters LLC.

I am a Captain who grew up in the Lower Keys. We have extensive knowledge of the waters in this area. I've done commercial fishing, diving, island hopping, and even towing and salvage. As a Captain, I have been fishing, spearfishing, and lobstering since I was a kid. I can't imagine doing anything else, this is what I love!
