RideOut with us and fish the beautiful waters of the Florida Keys and Key West! Enjoy top-notch wreck, reef, offshore, and inshore fishing with Captain Nick Collins aboard our 2013 32-foot SeaVee center console.
These waters are known for Mutton Snapper, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Amberjack, Yellowtail Snapper, Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Snowy Grouper, Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna, Tarpon, and more — with any luck, you’ll hook into a few! Depending on the season, conditions, and what’s biting, you might be spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or trying something more specialized to the area. Capt. Nick also offers kite fishing when conditions are right.
Planning a family adventure? 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. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks and anything else they’d like to enjoy throughout the day.
You’ll be dropping lines from our 32-foot SeaVee, a proven, fast, and capable fishing boat built to get you comfortably to the fish and back. The boat can accommodate up to 6 passengers and is equipped for a variety of fishing styles, whether you’re heading offshore, working the reefs and wrecks, or staying closer to shore. There’s also a toilet on board for your convenience.
Your captain will provide quality rods and reels, as well as the lures and tackle needed for your trip. Live bait is available, but it’s always a good idea to ask about the bait situation when booking so you’ll know whether you’ll be catching it yourself. Your fishing license is covered by the charter, so all you need to do is show up ready for a great day on the water.
It’s always wise to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and whatever food and drinks you’d like to enjoy. Water will be provided, along with a cooler and ice to help keep everything cold throughout the trip.

We had an amazing experience fishing with Nick! From the moment we got on the boat, he was kind, patient, and incredibly hands-on. Every time we caught a fish or lost a hook, he was right there to re-rig our line and get us back to fishing without missing a beat. He shared helpful tips and tricks throughout the trip, and even checked in with us to make sure we caught enough fish to take home for dinner. You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure everyone has a great time. We couldn't have asked for a better captain, and we would book another trip with Nick in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
Captain Nick has a very nice fishing platform with his center console. The boat is well maintained and easy to get around while fighting fish. His fishing gear is also first class, and he brought plenty of rods. We were targeting tarpon. We initially were in a group of four boats looking for and chasing tarpon as they surfaced. After 30 minutes or so we broke away to pursue plan B, which was to anchor, chum and fish since plan A was yielding no results for both us and the other 3 boats. We had a few hooks ups and landed one 60-70 tarpon after a great 15 minute or so fight. It should be noted that while we were successful there were boats that went home without catching and releasing a single fish. I would highly recommend Nick.
This was literally the best time !! The ocean was very calm and we had little cloud cover. We caught many fish, and 8 were keepers. We got 5 Mahi Mahi and 3 Bonita keepers.. It rained a little on the way back, but it was perfect fishing weather. Nick was a great captain, played good music, got us some great catches and recommended we take our Mahi Mahi to Kaya’s in Key West where they cooked it up for us in a 3 course meal !! Coolest experience ever !! Thank you Nick for the awesome trip !!
Thanks for the great review!
My husband and I have fished numerous times while visiting Key West but this was our first time taking our teenage sons. Captain Nick made sure this trip was filled with memories to last all of us a lifetime. We were able to catch snapper, black fin tuna and dolphin. I highly recommend the 6 hour trip to allow the opportunity to fish for different types. The boat was spacious with 5 of us onboard, the weather was amazing and the Nick was skilled with finding us fish. We will definitely be returning!
This was our first time visiting Key West FL and we booked this trip over a month in advance and as you know you can’t predict conditions. Nick was on time and ready to go! Although weather conditions didn’t allow us to go as far offshore as we would have liked. However, we will book a trip with this hard working young man anytime! He took us to several spots on our 6 hour trip about 13 miles offshore and we still had an active day of tight lines! You will not be disappointed.
