If you're ready to enjoy fishing in Key West, book a trip with Mutton To It Light Tackle Fishing. Having 10+ years fishing the lower keys, with 200+ days on the water a year, Captain Sam is always dialed in to put you on fish.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Mahi Mahi, Swordfish, Black Grouper, Cobia, Cero Mackerel, Cubera Snapper, Snowy Grouper, Amberjack, African Pompano, Yellowtail Snapper, Red Grouper, Great Barracuda, and whatever else is biting.

On these trips, it's common to drift, troll, and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle, and it's often with live bait. Capt. Sam also offers kite fishing when the conditions are favorable for it.

Mutton To It Light Tackle Fishing in Key West welcomes kids aboard, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Child-sized life vests are readily available, otherwise you can bring your own. Snacks and drinks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to stay fueled throughout your trip! (No glass bottles, please)

You'll be casting lines from a 35' Contender center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, any and all of the essentials. There's also a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to know, most of the time, you will be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

It's always a good idea to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Extra drinks, and a large cooler with ice will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

The Best Family Fishing Charter in Key West - Everyone Caught Fish! 🎣
3 Hour Trip – Inshore on March 11, 20263 adults3 children
If you're looking for a family-friendly fishing charter in Key West where everyone actually catches fish, book this trip. It was easily one of the highlights of our vacation. We did a 4-hour trip with three kids (ages 8, 4, and 3) plus grandparents, and our captain was incredible. He was patient, fun with the kids, and constantly making sure lines were baited and fish were coming in. Every single one of the kids caught multiple fish --- even our 3-year-old! The grandparents got in on the action too and had a great time. We caught a great mix of inshore species including mangrove snapper, yellowtail snapper, lane snapper, grunts, and jacks, and the action was steady the whole trip. I even managed to reel in a couple myself. What really stood out was how much he cared about making it a great experience for everyone. He celebrated every catch, helped the kids reel them in, and kept things moving so no one was just sitting around waiting. If you're visiting Key West and want a fishing charter that’s perfect for families, kids, and beginners, but still a blast for adults, this is the captain to book. We would 100% go again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend booking if you want a fun, successful day fishing in Key West.

Great hard working Captain
8 Hour Trip on April 10, 20262 adults
Captain Sam was great. We had windy weather, waves and a few hungover members but Sam still put us on some fish. Mutton and mangroves for dinner and a wide variety of others that were fun to catch. He was kind and courteous and very patient with some of our less than professional fishing techniques. 5 stars all day !
Reported catch:
Red Grouper
