Overview

Our full-day backcountry charter gives you the time and range to dive deeper into the fishing opportunities surrounding Key West. With 8 hours on the water, we can go beyond the usual grounds—working the flats, channels, and mangrove edges at your pace, with the flexibility to follow the bite wherever it’s best. Depending on conditions, we may even venture west toward the remote Marquesas Keys, known for their rich marine life and pristine beauty.

Our captain is a lifelong angler and Army veteran who brings both local knowledge and a steady, thoughtful approach. There’s no set route or rigid schedule—just a focus on giving you the best possible day on the water. With a max of four guests, you’ll fish comfortably and get personalized insight into the backcountry’s changing tides and seasonal patterns. It’s a full day built for anglers who want to go further and get more from their time on the water.
