Spearfishing in Florida Keys
Grab your spear and experience the thrill of spearfishing in the Keys’ warm waters. Aboard Florida Keys spearfishing charters, you’ll explore stunning reefs, productive wrecks, and deep seas. Discover a range of beautiful underwater spots, catching plenty of delicious fish.
What to Expect
This hand-to-hand combat is not for the faint-hearted – especially offshore. But Florida Keys spearfishing charters cater to all levels. Explore the calm backcountry, hit the reefs and shallower wrecks, or head offshore.
The Upper Keys
All waters within 3 miles of shore in the Keys are considered “sanctuaries.” It is prohibited to spearfish here. In the upper keys, this means that you’ll have to head out to some deeper waters.
Out of Tavernier and Key Largo, experienced anglers will love the medium-deep waters of Pickles Reef. You’ll come across some monstrous Snappers and Groupers, giving you more bang for your buck as you look to fill the boat.
The Middle Keys
From Islamorada, Duck Key, and Marathon, the spearfishing opportunities are endless. The waters stay shallow for a lot longer, giving a wider range of spearfishing opportunities.
Here, you’ll find more charters specializing in spearfishing, with a qualified guide on board. These will also include equipment, meaning you’ll have everything you need for a productive day.
Beginners can explore the reefs for Lobster to get a taste of spearfishing. If you have experience, then dive near wrecks such as the Thunderbolt or Adelaide Baker and spend anywhere from 4 to 10 hours testing your agility against Snappers, Groupers, and many more.
The Lower Keys
Head to the southernmost point of the US for the widest array of spearfishing opportunities. Beginners can explore the shallow coral heads for delicious Hogfish. Hooking one of these dazzling creatures will leave you wanting more!
The waters here get deep quickly. The more experienced among you can head offshore to battle some of the ocean’s most prized creatures. Near the Tortugas and Marquesas Islands, you’ll target Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo for a spine-tingling underwater experience.
How to Prepare
Before hopping aboard a Florida Keys sportfishing charter, make sure that you have everything you need. Check with the captain whether they provide the necessary spearfishing gear or if you’ll need to bring your own.
Many captains don’t advertise spearfishing-specific trips but are happy to accommodate spearfishing. Contact them and let them know what you want out of your Keys adventure.
Whether it’s big fish you’re after, or it’s your first time – a Florida Keys sportfishing charter is sure to get the pulses racing!

At first we booked this trip without targeting something specific so we could maybe catch a little bit of everything, but our captain suggested us tarpon because we wanted something with action and it was a good time to target them. It didnโt disappoint! Amazing experience like nothing else!

Easy Does It
Donโt expect to always catch a huge amount of fish. The fishing is not like it used to be. You are lucky to catch a few. Tell Capt if u prefer to catch to eat or catch for fun /size. That matters.

Second Nature Charters
Book the whole day, it took close to 45 minutes to get on the fishing spots so a 4 hour trip would not give you as much time to fish. Be open and listen to your captains as they are very knowledgeable. Iโve fished freshwater species but this was my first time in saltwater and there are differences I had to make but they coached me through it. Great experience.

Really check out the guides before you commit. We've had some losers. It's kind of hard to do long distance; we are from Montana. On our trip, late April 2024, it was a cooler than normal spring evidently. Luckily, the water temp worked out. April is an awesome month to come out. The weather is great, the water is warm, fishing is like no other.
