What To Expect
Set your sights on the clear, turquoise waters off Key West and get ready for a fishing experience that’s fun, relaxed, and full of excitement, without the need for high-end sportfishing gear or elite angling skills. Patch Reef Fishing in Key West is tailor-made for the weekend fisherman looking for quality fishing without the pressure of chasing trophies.
We target the vibrant patch reefs located just a few miles offshore, where the waters are shallow enough to stay comfortable but deep enough to hold a variety of reef species. We target snapper, grouper, porgies, hogfish (season permitting), and other delicious bottom dwellers.
But the action doesn’t stop there—we mix things up with light trolling for mackerel, bonito, and the occasional mahi-mahi, drift fishing over select areas, and cruising the edge of the reef. Our flexible approach ensures a dynamic and engaging day on the water.
This trip is all about accessible adventure. It’s perfect for families, groups of friends, or solo anglers who want to experience the thrill of Florida Keys fishing without stepping too far outside their comfort zone.
Come as you are — leave with memories, fish stories, and maybe even dinner.

Yes. Whatever the fishing calls for: live bait, frozen bait, cut bait, or chum, our Charter Captains will have plentiful supplies on hand. The same thing goes for artificial bait such as lures, flies, or plugs.
Jul 2022If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
