RideOut Charters
RideOut with us and fish the beautiful waters of the Florida Keys and Key West! Top notch wreck, reef, offshore and inshore fishing with captain Nick Collins.
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! During the trip you might be spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Nick also offers kite fishing when the 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!
You’ll be dropping lines from a 28’ Center console that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself. The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time!
It’s always wise to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and whatever food and drinks you would like to bring. Water will be provided along with a cooler with ice.
Now’s the time to experience fishing in Key West for yourself, with RideOut Charters!

Great day of fishing
Captain Nick did a great job for us. We limited out on Mangrove Snapper and missed a few nice Grouper on the trip. He worked hard throughout the trip and was very attentive. Clean boat and equipment. If you’re looking for a charter in Key West be sure to give RideOut Charters a shot you won’t be disappointed!

Best Guide and exceptional experience
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an incredible experience with Captain Nick! He is not only an excellent fisherman but also very considerate and thoughtful. Our family caught a fantastic number of fish, but what made the trip truly special was Nick's warm temperament, dedication, and professionalism. He made us feel comfortable and excited throughout the entire journey. We will definitely be booking with Captain Nick again for another adventure!

Captain Nick = Fish
Captain Nick was awesome! We told him we wanted to catch fish and that’s what we did! He is very knowledgeable about the key west waters and we felt very comfortable on his boat. He had nice equipment and baited our hooks as fast as he could. I would recommend Captain Nick to both beginners and experienced fishermen/fisherwomen. Thanks for a great day…we will be back!
