Description

Cool Destinations invites you to come on board for legendary Key West charter fishing in the Atlantic Ocean waters off Key West. These waters are home to many species of migratory big game fish, and the Atlantic Blue Marlin is the most famous of them all. Females sometimes reach lengths of 16 feet and top 1000 pounds in weight. American author and sportsman Ernest Hemingway put Key West on the map in the 1930’s with his exciting articles about the hunt for Blue and Black Marlin in the deep sea between Key West and Cuba.

Sailfish are abundant on the Key West sportfishing grounds. When conditions are right and the spring Sailfish wolf packs move in to hunt baitfish along the reef edge and weed lines, a fisherman might hook 20 of these flashy, high-jumping sportfish in a day. Also frequenting the weed lines and the color change at the edge of the Gulf Stream current, rainbow-colored Mahi-Mahi, or Dolphinfish, provide fast action and good eating throughout late spring and summer.

Other popular species targeted by our Cool Destinations Key West fishing charters include Barracuda, Blackfin Tuna, Kingfish, and Wahoo. Deep-water bait fishing over wrecks and reefs can produce Amberjack, Cobia, Grouper, Yellowtail Snapper, Sharks, and many other species. This is why Key West deep sea fishing is so exciting – so many fish are out there that you never know what the next hit might bring.

Key West offshore fishing changes according to the seasons and water conditions, and our Cool Destinations deep sea charter fishing captains are on the water nearly every day. They are expert fishing guides who combine time, location, and technique to maximize your chances of catching fish. To get you on the fish, your captain will use all the newest electronic technology together with old tricks like searching for changing water color, following diving and feeding birds, tracking current flows, and hunting drifting weed lines and other floating debris. Trolling with lures or bait, casting or drop-fishing with live bait, surface-casting artificial lures, and kite fishing are all among the proven angling techniques your captain may have you using to get fish on the boat.

All of our Key West charter fishing boats are well-equipped for a pleasant day on the water. They feature clean restrooms, comfortable seating, and plenty of cooler space for cold drinks and lunches. All necessary bait, tackle, and licenses are included on every Key West deep sea fishing charter.
