A marine mechanic by trade, the captain needed to get out of the shop. That's when he started Good Times Key West. Every day now he enjoys sharing the amazing activities and scenery that the Florida Keys backcountry has to offer. Fishing, snorkeling, sandbars, dolphin viewing, and much more.

    1. Izlet na Jastoga

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 4 adults

    Poslepodnevni izlet od 2-6 sati u lov na jastoge i šta god kapetan preporuči. Uslovi nisu bili povoljni. Kapetan je bio odličan. Videli smo nekoliko. Bili su prebrzi i predugo. Ali možda budemo imali više sreće na sledećem izletu. Pecali smo sat vremena ili tako nešto i skupili dovoljno za par obroka od mangrove snappera, mutton snappera i lane snappera. Odlično vreme.

    Čarter prve klase

    Full Day Trip • 3 adults

    Pravi znak pouzdanog i iskusnog ribolovnog čartera je koliko dobro služe svojim klijentima kada su uslovi za ribolov i plovidbu manje od idealnih. Kapetan Matt je neverovatni kapetan broda i iskusni vodič. Imali smo jake vetrove i uzburkano more tokom većeg dela dana. Zahvaljujući dubokom poznavanju Keysa od strane kapetana Matta i izvanrednim veštinama plovidbe, uspeli smo da ulovimo 60+ riba od kojih je 21 bila za zadržavanje. Moja supruga, moj sin i ja bili smo tretirani kao zlato tokom celog dana. Toplo preporučujem i uskoro ću ponovo rezervisati izlet sa Good Times Key West.

    Oktobarsko ribolovno putovanje

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    Met nije gubio vreme i odmah nas je doveo do ribe. Malo talasasto, ali vredno iskustva. Ručali smo ulov u Mac's restoranu. Sveža riba, nema ništa bolje! Odlično je bilo.

    Zabavan dan ribolova

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Imali smo sjajan dan na ribolovu! Ulovili smo dovoljno yellowfin snapper-a za ručak. Imali smo odlično iskustvo sa Justinom, koji je bio veoma strpljiv sa mojim sinom od 15 godina i odgovorio na sva njegova pitanja. Čak smo ulovili i jegulje, koje smo naravno pustili nazad, ali je to bilo zabavno iskustvo. Mac's place odlično priprema sveže ulovljenu ribu.

    Excellent fishing trip!

    Half Day Trip – Fishing (PM) • 3 adults

    Captain Justin did a great job balancing catching target fish and pivoting to opportunities available. We caught some big game nurse shark and spinner and ample size mangrove snapper that made for an enjoyable dinner for us all. Captain Justin was knowledgeable, friendly and made sure we were all comfortable and having a good time throughout! Highly recommend - he took the time to ensure things were done the right way!

Cold water temps.

feb 3, 2026 • Ki Vest
The water temp has been coldest I've seen in a few years. The inshore fishery was almost non existent for a couple days. Luckily as soon as the cold weather turned, the mangrove, lane snappers, and sharks slowly starting coming back. On the days with decent conditions and adventurous guests, we ventured to a bit deeper reefs looking for a little warmer water temps. We found some nice red grouper (season closed till May) and a verity of quality snappers. Beyond the reef has been decent. Not exactly all the designer fish, but plenty of action to had be had. Decent numbers of of cero, Spanish, and king mackerels, some cudas, and bonita have been caught. I heard of a handful of sailfish being caught, but was not luckily to hook or see any myself.

December mahi and sailfish!

dec 3, 2025 • Ki Vest
Yesterday was a pretty special day. Not only for our birthday girl onboard, but also for the crew. We spotted, chased, and caught multiple sailfish in as shallow as 25’ of water on the reef. As we ventured offshore it didn’t take long before we found some December mahi in 150’. We whacked a few mahi, then trolled our way back home, along the way we found some bonus mackerel in hawks channel. Everyday is different and yesterday was certainly one to remember.

Offshore bite heats up with cooler temps

okt 30, 2025 • Ki Vest
The cooler weather is bringing our winter time fisheries. Live bait has been plentiful. Pelagic species including Blackfin tuna and mackerel are pushing in shallower towards the reef line. Makes for less commute and more fishing time! Inshore bite has been steady with impressive numbers and size of a verity of species. Cobia have been found on the wrecks. Big muttons in the shallow waters of the backcountry, and quality yellowtail and lane snappers on the patch reefs. Weather your looking to go offshore or inshore fishing while in Key West, we’d love to get you hooked up.
