If you're going to cast a line in the Florida Keys, look no further than Type 1 Sportfishing. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Pete is prepared to put you on fish.

These waters are known for Tuna, Mahi, Black Grouper, Mutton Snapper, Yellowtail, Swordfish and more – with any luck, it won't be long before 'Fish on!' On these trips, it's common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

You'll step aboard a 35' Contender center console with space for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.
Capt. Pete has rods and reels for you. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 15-20% tip is customary.
There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don't forget to bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So, make it happen, with Type 1 Sportfishing!

Trip of a lifetime
Day Time Trip - Swordfish on November 25, 20255 adults

Captain Pete and first mate Syl did an amazing job putting us on fish all day long. When booking the reservation capitain Pete marked off 3 days during thanksgiving break mind you for us to go and fish in the case of bad weather. Then because of wind conditions moved our time in the day earlier. So booking is not a problem and they will make sure you have an amazing time out on the water no matter the conditions. When we got out onto the water our group asked a lot of questions which were always met with genuine passion and interest. I have done many characters in the past and when you have a crew with the passion that ours did it makes the experience 10x better. After 15 minutes of getting to the spot we hooked and landed a swordfish. Unfortunately Capitan Pete hurt himself but instead of ending the trip pushed through and continued to provide an amazing experience. We went on to catch a handful of mahi mahi and overall had an amazing time on the water. If you want not only to catch fish but also to really learn and have a great time on the water, this charter is for you. Thank you so much Capitan Pete and mate syl y'all were amazing company and amazing guides and I'm already thinking about my next fishing trip with this amazing crew!!

Great Fishing - Even in a windy day
1/2 Day Trip- Wreck, Reef or Bay on March 17, 20264 adults

Captain Pete was great and his boat was imaculate. The day was windy, but we found some smooth water on the golf side. We caught more fish than we expected during our four hour excursion. Not all of them were keepers, but we were able to catch and keep plenty to feed our family for a couple meals. We’d recommend castaways if you want to eat what you catch on marathon. it was a great experience.

Great trip with Capt. Pedro
1/2 Day Trip- Wreck, Reef or Bay on April 17, 20262 adults

2 anglers from Minnesota took a 4 hour charter with Captain Pete. Rods, reels, tackle, fresh live bait and boat were all amazing. We caught multiple species of fish all throughout our trip. Captain Pete was a pleasure to go fishing with. Thank you Type 1 Sportfishing!
