Islamorada Reef & Wreck Fishing Charters

The Florida Keys have some of the most spectacular reefs in the United States. As a matter of fact, it’s the only coral reef system in the continental United States and is home to over 40 species of reef-building corals that provide shelter, food, and breeding sites for millions of different plants and animals. This has made Islamorada a target destination for anglers from across the globe.

Target Species

Our most common and popular catches are snapper, grouper, and mackerel. During the winter months, however, Sailfish are plentiful, as well as other species of pelagic fish! Wahoo, cobia, dolphin (Mahi Mahi), blackfin tuna, king mackerel, permit, and African pompano are not uncommon during those months.

Where We Fish

There are numerous wrecks and reefs all within sight of land that we can target fish on, and it’s truly a mixed bag. Within minutes of leaving the dock you’ll be on the reef bending a rod. Whether you’re an experienced angler looking for that trophy fish, or a family out for a fun day, this trip is fun for everyone!

What's Included

Hop aboard our meticulously maintained SeaVee Catamaran for a day of fishing you’ll never forget. Within minutes of leaving the dock you’ll be on the reef bending a rod. Whether you’re an experienced angler looking for that trophy fish, or a family out for a fun day, this trip is fun for everyone! We use only the highest quality tackle and gear. All bait is provided on these trips.

What To Bring

Come prepared for the weather. We recommend wearing SPF clothing. Bring your food, snacks, and beverages for the trip (alcohol ok). We use high-quality tackle and gear, but if you want to bring your own, you’re welcome to.
