It comes as no surprise that deep sea fishing in Key West offers some of the most exciting angling in the world. This small town is the southernmost point of the continental US, and is home to tropical weather, rich waters, and stunning views. It’s where the Gulf of Mexico meets the Atlantic Ocean, and with such easy access to these deep waters, Key West is a truly unique fishing destination.
The blue waters are at your fingertips if you’re heading out of Key West. The beautiful Florida Reef extends six miles south of the island, beyond which the ocean floor drops and the fun begins! Just some of the species you can catch here include Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Tuna.
Depending on the type of adventure you’d like to have, there’s a variety of trips you can choose from. For an introduction to deep sea fishing, you can book a half day trip. If you’re looking to venture further out and go after the really big fish, a full day might be better suited for you. You can also find charters that will take you on an extended full day trip for the ultimate challenge.
Key West is a fishing town first and foremost, meaning you’ll have no issues finding a great charter to take you out on the water. Just head over to the Key West Bight or the Garrison Bight Marina and take your pick!
