Rates vary based on length of stay. All main marina rates include power, water, access to WiFi and cable tv. Flats/Backcountry ( Maximum of 4 people) Flats fishing with either fly gear or light spinning gear combines the experience of hunting and fishing, as you actually stalk and then cast to spectacular sport species like bonefish, permit and tarpon, often in water as shallow as a foot deep. Bonefish and permit provide long lightning-fast runs and tarpon offer leaps to amaze and challenge any angler. Full-day charters can get you to the Everglades Park where redfish and snook add to the possibilities. If you prefer the action of general backcountry fishing, Florida Bay offers trout, sharks, barracuda, jacks, and snapper. Live tarpon ranging to over one hundred pounds migrate through the Keys each spring and early summer.

MARINA & FISHING 3 MARINA & FISHING Offshore/Reef Water depths drop dramatically once boats venture beyond the main coral reef that parallels the Keys on the Atlantic side. Sportfishing boats fish anywhere from just beyond the reef, where winter months bring a wealth of kingfish and spectacular sailfish, to twenty-five to thirty miles out, where dolphin (mahi mahi) roam in the spring and summer. Accessible from Hawks Cay on full day charters are the Humps, unique areas of sudden uprising on the ocean floor which cause nutrient upwelling that attracts bait fish which, in turn, attract big predators. Here, anglers battle slammer dolphin in spring and summer, tuna in the late winter and spring. Marlin may cruise these areas feeding on dolphin in season. Big amberjacks and sharks offer another challenge. Ask about Custom Swordfish Charters, the latest big fish option in the Keys. If you prefer anchoring up and bottom fishing, our sportfishing boats offer reef and wreck fishing. The reef is only three or four miles offshore of Duck Key, so a half day charter to the reef offers lots of fishing time after a short run. Anglers can battle feisty snapper and tenacious grouper, both of which provide delicious meals when the fishing is done. If catch and release is your thing, the reef offers sport species like sharks and barracuda.
