Florida Keys
Offshore FIshing Charters
Experience the thrill of the deep blue with our offshore charters departing from Key Colony Beach Marina. We travel up to 40 miles out to target trophy fish in the Atlantic’s deepest waters, including trips to the famous Marathon Hump for Tuna. For the ultimate challenge, inquire about our Daytime Swordfishing availability.
With four, six, and eight-hour options available, you can dedicate your entire day to offshore sportfishing or combine it with a reef and wreck trip for a complete Florida Keys experience.
Deep Sea Adventure: The Ultimate Offshore Experience
Offshore fishing in the Florida Keys represents a wide variety of fishing styles, but unlike the reef, it typically means fishing off the anchor with the motors running. Depending on the conditions and the target species, your day might involve kite fishing live bait, sight fishing for cruising surface fish, trolling lures, or deep dropping baits to the bottom.
Why Choose an Offshore Fishing Trip?
While reef fishing is about steady action and filling the cooler, offshore fishing is about the thrill of the hunt. This is the ideal choice for anglers looking to target trophy sport fish and experience the dynamic nature of the open ocean. Because we are constantly on the move covering ground, you get to see more of the Atlantic ecosystem in action.
The Sport of the Chase: Offshore trips focus on quality and size. Whether it’s the high-speed run of a Wahoo or the acrobatics of a Sailfish, these trips are designed for those seeking an adrenaline rush.
Deep Water Delicacies: Offshore isn’t just about surface trolling. We offer specialized deep dropping in depths ranging from 600 to 1,500 feet. This technique allows us to target delicious, exotic food fish like Snowy Grouper, Tilefish, and Queen Snapper—species you simply cannot find on the reef.
Looking for the best of both worlds? Just like our reef trips, offshore charters are highly customizable. If you want to secure dinner first, we can start on the reef or wreck to put fish in the box, and then head offshore to spend the rest of the day hunting for a trophy.
