Most Key West inshore fishing charters take place aboard skiffs or flats boats. Your captain will power the boat with a push pole, allowing you to navigate even the skinniest of waters. You’ll mainly sight cast, so keep your eye out for boats with a casting platform. 

You’ll want to cover up from the sun. Wear long sleeves, a cap, and bring sunscreen. Check with your captain if they provide water, but you’ll want to bring some snacks and drinks of your own too. 

 

If you want to go fly fishing, check with your captain if the gear is included. In most cases, you’ll be advised to bring your own. 

 

Everything else you need, including a license, is taken care of. So come and check out a Key West inshore fishing charter!
