High Line Charters

Key West, United States
7 reviews
Our love for fishing started when we were kids, but it truly came alive on the clear blue waters of Key West. The ocean here is full of life, and over the years we've learned its reefs, currents, and hidden fishing spots. From chasing mahi-mahi around floating seaweed to battling the blistering speed of a wahoo, every trip in the Florida Keys brings something exciting. There's nothing quite like watching a sailfish explode out of the water or feeling the power of a blackfin tuna on the line. Starting our own fishing charter in Key West gives us the chance to share that experience with others. Whether it's your first time on a boat or you're a seasoned angler chasing your next trophy fish, we love helping people create unforgettable moments on the water. For us, it's about more than just fishing. It's about the thrill of the hunt, the beauty of the ocean, and the memories you take home long after the trip is over. Step aboard the High Line and experience the magic of fishing in Key West.

    Mackerel Time

    8 Hour Trip – Reef & Wreck (AM) • 6 adults

    Had a great time, loved the Captain and Russell "first mate". Caught plenty of fish and they recommended Kaya restaurant to cook our fresh catch. That was some of the best fish I have ever eaten. Well done!!

    High Line Charters, An experience worth reliving.

    6 Hour Trip – Shark (AM) • 2 adults

    Big props to Captain Phil and his first made Jake, they took great care of myself and five friends like we were family. They showed us some of the best fishing areas that Key West has to offer. a day of great fishing, story telling and memories that we will cherish throughout our lives. His boat was very stable on the ocean with plenty of cover for the hot sun and cool breezes on the upper deck, the captain provided ice cold water and we were able to bring some adult beverages aboard to celebrate our catch and the experience. I do recommend a long sleeve fishing shirt or rash guard with a hat because the key west sun will get the best of you if you’re not prepared. Also swing by the local Public deli and pick your self up a sandwich for the trip, I met two locals there and they took fantastic care of us making sure our sandwiches were packed for fishing. These are the little things that make for a perfect day of fishing. My biggest thanks again goes to Captain Phil and Jake. Already looking forward to my next adventure High Line Charters.

    Hey man, really appreciate you taking the time to leave such an awesome review! Jake and I had a great time with you and your crew—felt like we were all just old friends out for a day on the water. Glad the boat kept you cool and comfortable

    4 Hour PM reef trip

    4 Hour Trip – Reef (PM)

    Our trip with Captain Phil and First Mate Russ was absolutely incredible! From the moment we stepped on the boat, they made us feel welcome and confident that we were in great hands. The boat was very clean and well-equipped, and both Phil and Russ clearly know these waters like the back of their hands. They put us right on the fish. Russ was funny and super helpful. Definitely recommend

    Reported catch:

The weather cools and the crowds thin. This is the best time of year to score a Slam on the flats. The weather can be unpredictable with hurricanes, but the fishing makes it worth while.
