Offshore Charter Fishing

With an offshore charter, you will be fishing with up to six anglers on your fishing trip, and you will have a captain, and one or two mates to get the bait, prepare the fishing rods and tackle and to bait hooks and remove the fish from the line and clean your catch. This type of Florida fishing charter typically runs from $450 up to $875 for a full day of fishing depending on the size of the boat. Boats can range in size from 24' open fishermen with an outboard engine up to 60' sport fishing monsters with twin diesel power, air conditioning and other luxuries. Size doesn't always matter in Fishing, all the gizmos in the world wont help without a competent crew. The Florida Keys are home to some of the worlds best Captains and Mates. Fishing involves trolling offshore for pelagic species such as Dolphin, Wahoo and Tuna, Slow trolling with live bait in the winter months for Sailfish and King Mackerel, and anchoring up on the reefline and bottom fishing for Snapper and Grouper.
