Let’s Go Fishing Charters offers great days on the water for anglers of all ages in the Florida Keys! The Keys are made up of pristine shallow water and mangrove islands, which create a unique ecosystem that has to be seen to be believed. Explore it with Captain Bob Beighley, who’s been fishing here since 2000.

Capt. Bob specializes in family-friendly fishing trips and caters to all ages and skill levels. Boasting both vast knowledge and decades of experience, he has a knack of understanding what a customer wants.

Hop aboard his 18’ Action Craft skiff, ideal for up to 3 anglers. This pristine vessel has a raised deck and provides a dry ride and stable casting platform. She’s perfect for exploring extremely shallow waters and is fitted with the latest navigational electronics and safety equipment.

There really is something for everyone in the Keys, with Snapper, Barracuda, Jacks, Tarpon, and even Sharks making it aboard Capt. Bob’s boat. All fishing is catch and release only to keep the ecosystem thriving, but that doesn’t mean you won’t have an epic time on the water.

Whether you want to fish on a fly or with a spin rod, Capt. Bob provides the state-of-the-art equipment you need to make a great catch possible. Bring along drinks and snacks and you’re ready to explore these turquoise blue waters!

I have been fishing my whole life and consider myself a very well rounded fisherman. I got my start with the traditional Zebco 202, fishing for Bluegill and Largemouth Bass with my father. It wasn't long before I bought my first boat and started fishing for Rockfish on the Chesapeake Bay. I then moved to Ocean City, Maryland where I became a successful offshore mate earning my master captain’s license fishing primarily for Marlin, Tuna, and Shark. After visiting the Keys on vacation I knew this was where I wanted to live. In 2000 I took the leap and moved to Cudjoe Key and haven't looked back since. I have been a full-time guide in the Florida Keys ever since. I have a knack for understanding what the customer wants, from bending the rod on a family fishing trip to taking more serious anglers out on spin and fly. My goal is to make you feel like you're fishing with an old fishin’ buddy. I am very patient with children and novice anglers as well as the experienced pro.
