Florida Straits Sportfishing
Spend the day with Florida Straits Sportfishing and find out what the fishing in Key West is all about! With Captain Kiah at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
Around here it's common to catch Yellowtail Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Black Grouper, Red Grouper, Sailfish, Wahoo, Bull Shark, Tarpon, Jack Crevalle, Blue Marlin, and more, depending on the time of year. During the trip you might be spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Kiah can also have you kite fishing.
Florida Straits Sportfishing welcomes kids aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! 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 to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!
You'll be dropping lines from a 32' SeaVee center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, and all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
It's recommended to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Matt LindnerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedIt wasn’t fishing, it was catching!
2 Hour Trip – Night Tarpon/Shark on July 17, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain John knew right where to go, and although I know many trips come up empty to no fault of the crew, this outing was incredibly fruitful. John kept our bait fresh and rods loaded, just two of us on the boat and we got 3 tarpon on the boat and 2 more caught up next to the boat. Waters were calm and night fishing was perfect for tarpon, was nice to be casting and reeling the whole time, great for both seasoned pro’s as well as kids.
Randy GradyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat trip for first timers!
2 Hour Trip – Night Tarpon/Shark on June 23, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Jack put us on fish within minutes of launching. Hooked up on a nice Goliath grouper and several reds. Fun trip! Kids loved it and have a lifelong memory. Night fishing is a smoother ride and much cooler. Recommended for anyone looking for fast results.

2 Hour Trip – Night Tarpon/Shark on June 12, 2025 • 5 adults • 2 childrenCaptain was super friendly and great with the family. Very informational about the area and fish. We didn't catch anything intended which is part of fishing. Caught one grouper. He tried multiple areas for us, even staying past our alotted time trying for us!

2 Hour Trip – Night Tarpon/Shark on June 14, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 childrenGreat experience, very knowledgeable would definitely recommend
Martin Novak5.0VerifiedGreat Shark/Tarpon trip!
2 Hour Trip – Night Tarpon/Shark on April 18, 2026 • 6 adultsCaptain Jack was awesome! We had a group of 5 with mixed experience levels and he made it simple and memorable for everyone. The trip is great for those who want to catch something big and don't want to be out there all day. The trip is short enough where you don't have to bring anything extra with you! Great experience and would definitely go again!
