What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Key West, Florida for the first time?

While I appreciate the transparency of captains and charter companies to provide a fee for the rental charter and the fuel separately.... it does make sense at this high of cost the gas just be included in the fee overall. Seeing "$2,000 plus $900 fuel (approximate)".... for example makes an individual want to have a before and after reading on the gas gage. Aside from the offerings provided by our charter one of the reasons we selected them was because the final cost was included upfront. No approximate after the fact gas charge. He was experienced enough yomlisten to pur needs, estimate the fuel and provide it in one overall cost... simple. Others should think about doing this. Makes it feel less like being nickel and dimed out of things especially with what is a very big purchase for a single day acitivity.

Be flexible! At first we thought we wanted to snorkel but water was too cool, our Captain adjusted to our needs and we ended up fishing more and having a blast because he put us on so many fish. He still took us to a sandy beach to explore so we still had a variety of adventures.

Taking a sandbar trip anywhere in the Keys is always a beautiful, fun time. Book now!

We had great weather, was really nice to be on the water when it’s so hot on the island in June.

Sun screen, hat, uv long sleeve shirt, lots of water. Go with an experienced captain
