Key West’s Gulf wrecks are home to a diverse range of sunken watercraft. In the southern Gulf of Mexico, victims of German torpedoes and World War II mines, alongside other sunken crafts, have recently been unearthed and provide exciting fishing experiences. Our fleet has many different types of ships to get folks to the best spots each season. Our boats are outfitted with state-of-the-art Penn rods and reels to catch the best fish in the Gulf of Mexico.
Whatever you want to catch, you’ll need the right team to succeed. Whether you plan to take a deep plunge into the open sea or just wish to spend the entire day on a boat, the Key West Historic Charter Boat Association helps make your fishing excursion a success.
In our opinion, sport fishing is the most thrilling and enriching outdoor activity. Whether it’s the fresh sea air, the strategy in locating good spots, the knowledge in selecting the right bait, or the skill in hooking the line, baiting the hook, and casting – sport fishing is our great dance with the elements. Then, after a while, the great chase begins when a king mackerel pulls the line.
