Your Fishing Charter

Make the most of your time in Big Pine Key with an unforgettable fishing adventure aboard Florida Keys Island Fishing Charters! Led by seasoned local guide Captain Tony, this family-run charter offers the perfect blend of excitement, expertise, and island hospitality.

Step aboard our 24’ Aquasport Tournament Series center console, powered by a 300HP Suzuki engine and built for comfort, safety, and performance. The boat is equipped with cushioned seating, a shaded canopy (available on request), Simrad GPS and Fishfinder, Bluetooth stereo, a live bait well, plenty of rod holders, and an under-deck fish box to keep your catch fresh. Whether you're an experienced angler or trying fishing for the first time, this boat is ready for action!

Depending on the season and conditions, you’ll have the opportunity to catch species like Mutton Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Great Barracuda, Cero Mackerel, Skipjack, Cobia, Tarpon, Black Grouper, Red Grouper, African Pompano, Mahi Mahi, Bull Shark, and many more. You’ll use proven techniques like spinning, jigging, trolling, bottom fishing, drift fishing, or cast and retrieve, with Captain Tony offering expert guidance along the way.

This charter is kid-friendly, family-friendly, and beginner-approved—and we love seeing young anglers light up when they reel in their first fish! Please let us know if you’ll need a child-size life vest. You’re welcome to bring your own snacks and sunscreen. We'll provide cold water in the onboard cooler, all gear, bait, tackle, and fishing licenses.

You can even bring beer (in cans only)—just no hard liquor or glass bottles. While some fish species may have seasonal regulations or size limits, Captain Tony will help you understand what's in season and what you can keep.

Fishing in the Lower Florida Keys has never been more fun or more personal. Whether you’re hoping to reel in dinner, chase a shark, or just enjoy quality time with loved ones on the water, your adventure starts here!
