Tarpon fishing
The Florida Keys are the tarpon capital of the world. Giant silver kings migrate through the flats every spring — a bucket-list catch for any angler.
Backcountry bonefishing
Florida Bay's shallow grass flats hold some of the largest bonefish anywhere. Local guides pole the skiff quietly across the flat — sight fishing at its finest.
Reef snorkeling & diving
The Florida Reef Tract is the only living coral barrier reef in the continental US. Colorful reef fish, sea turtles, and coral formations just minutes offshore.
Offshore sport fishing
The Gulf Stream flows just a few miles off the Keys — delivering mahi-mahi, wahoo, sailfish, and yellowfin tuna within easy reach of any marina.
Local knowledge
The Florida Keys stretch 125 miles southwest from Key Largo to Key West, separated from the Florida mainland by Florida Bay and connected by the Overseas Highway. The island chain divides the Atlantic Ocean to the east from the Gulf of Mexico to the west — creating two entirely different fisheries in a single destination.
Islamorada, known as the Sport Fishing Capital of the World, anchors the Upper Keys flats fishery. Key West delivers offshore blue water within minutes. Key Largo — the Diving Capital of the World — sits atop the reef. Every community along US-1 has its own charter fleet and fishing character.
Every listing on Charted Waters is with an independent captain who owns their boat and sets their own rates. No booking fees for guests — just a direct connection to the water.
