Running angling trips out of Key Largo, Round Up Fishing Charters invites you to check out the local fishery in style.

Come on aboard with Capt. John, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, kite fishing, and spinning, based on the species you're targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 4 to 8-hour trips, where you'll be fishing for the likes of Dolphin, Snapper, Sailfish, Wahoo, Barracuda, and Grouper, depending on the specific season and the day's weather.

Your adventure begins on board a 54' Bertram boat, the Visco, that can fit a maximum of 6 anglers. The boat is fitted with a toilet, an AC, an ice box, and a fighting chair.

Visco's huge cockpit (17 ft beam) features a freezer, tackle center with washdown sink, 2 live wells, and a BBQ grill. The proven deep-V hull of the original is widely considered among the best open-water rides in the business. Below decks, the three-stateroom maple interior of the Bertram 54' features an open-plan salon with beautiful teak and holly flooring and a leather L-lounge seating to port and entertainment center to starboard.
A full-service galley with Corian counters is forward to port, across from a 4-person dinette. All three heads have separate stall showers.

All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that's up to you is to use it as best you can. No need to worry about fishing licenses, as they will be provided and handled by the charter.

You'll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip.

There will be a first mate on board to help you with anything you need. Tips for good service are always appreciated.

Children are welcome on board, so feel free to bring your family on this adventure.

Great Fishing Charter!
Half Day Trip on June 29, 20264 adults

We had an excellent experience with Captain John and First Mate Derek aboard the Visco fishing charter. From start to finish, they were friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about all things fishing. Everything was provided for us—rods, gear, and fishing licenses—making the trip completely hassle-free. The boat was clean and well-maintained, with a comfortable air-conditioned cabin and a bathroom onboard, which made the half-day trip very enjoyable for our group of four. There was also a cooler available for drinks, and we just brought our own food. Captain John and Derek worked hard to put us on the fish, and we caught some amazing ones. They even cleaned and prepared our catch so we could take it to a local restaurant to enjoy later—such a great touch! We highly recommend this charter and would absolutely book again.

Mahi Madness!
3/4 Day Trip (AM) on July 14, 20262 adults

Captain John is awesome and his mate Derek was top notch. We had some decent swells but they kept searching for the fish. We hooked into a school of mahi and pulled about 15 into the boat in 30 minutes. They take this stuff seriously and I’ll be calling him next time I’m back in the keys

Wonderful Day at Sea
Half Day Trip on May 10, 20262 adults

Captain John and First Mate Vince did a great job getting the bite on. We caught a four foot Mahi which was amazing. The boat is larger than other vessels and it definitely makes for an upgraded experince. Life’s too short, book the Visco and youll be glad you did.

The fishing was challenging, but the captain and mate worked diligently to catch something substantial. I’ll definitely book another trip with them. The cabin was cozy and spacious with cold. next year we will be back.

From start to finish this was an excellent experience. Captain John kept in contact with us and answered all of our questions pre-trip.The boat is perfect, we were very comfortable and caught lots of fish!
