Make some memories in Key West and go fishing with Key West Charter Fishing. With Captain Blake at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

These waters are known for Lane Snapper, Spotted Seatrout, Mutton Snapper, Tarpon, Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Pompano, and more – with any luck, you’ll find out for yourself! Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Blake also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Any fish caught on these trips will be released.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Your boat for the day is a 19’ Xplor skiff with room for 2 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Blake has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. Don’t forget to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Key West Charter Fishing Shallows and get hooked!

Great experience
Flats Fishing 4hr on December 13, 20252 adults
we booked a short 4 hour day with Captain Blake, mainly because in my experience December isn’t the best month to fish in Key West. Blake was very good at communicating ahead of time, and asked a lot of good questions about our experience level, what we wanted to do, etc. We caught a fair number of fishearly, and then spent the rest of the morning trying to find fish in the flats. Blake was diligent, instructive, and patient. I would highly recommend him for your next trip to Key West.

The best chatter I've ever been on !
Juvenile Tarpon on September 2, 20252 adults
Me and my girl went out and it was an unforgettable experience! Best charter captain I've been with and he put me right on the fish.. very knowledgeable and genuine guy. We had the best time. Great dude, great boat, Was expecting to only catch some small juvenile tarpon and ended up landing a 40-50 lb tarpon along with a ton of other tarpons & barracudas. Saw some sharks as well. He will find you the fish and you will have a great time, he's not scared to move spots to find them and does not waste time. Highly recommend I took a few florida charters over the years and this was by far the most fun!! When I come back going right back on this boat

Flats Fishing 4hr on October 11, 20252 adults
Although we had to call off our trip because of bad weather, Blake was extremely responsive, patient, and professional. We attempted to get on the water but storm clouds rolled in pretty quickly. Up until that point, however, Blake demonstrated that he clearly knows not only marine life and fishing techniques, but how to interact with the public and be a great guide. When we do get back out on the water, which we will, we will definitely be using Blake again.
