Intro to Fishing
Calm-water patch reef fishing 2–3 miles off Key Largo. Perfect for kids, families, and first-timers — your captain baits the hooks and finds the fish.
Catch & Cook
Reel in Key Largo reef fish, and we'll filet and bag your catch and point you to a local spot to cook it. The freshest dinner you'll ever order out.
Deep Reef & Wreck
Fish Key Largo's deep reefs and wrecks 6–10 miles out, 50–300 feet down, for grouper, amberjack, cobia, and kingfish. Heavier tackle, bigger fish.
Deep Sea Big Game
Run the Gulf Stream off Key Largo trolling and live-baiting for sailfish, mahi-mahi, wahoo, and tuna. Big game, bigger seas — the ultimate guys' trip.
Gladiator of the Deep
Daytime swordfishing off Key Largo — the gladiator of the deep. A full-day battle in deep Gulf Stream water for the hardest-fighting fish in the ocean.
