Snap Em Up Fishing Charters LLC is a licensed charter operator based in Islamorada, Florida, offering guided fishing and lobster trips throughout the Florida Keys.
The outfitter runs a range of half‑day and full‑day experiences including quick two‑hour Snapper trips, reef and wreck fishing, offshore mahi and tuna trips, and hands‑on lobster dives. Many trips include fishing gear, live bait, and catch cleaning; selected trips note that fishing licenses are provided.
Trips are designed for varied skill levels — from anglers who want fast action on a two‑hour Snapper outing to experienced anglers seeking offshore Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, and Sailfish on eight‑hour excursions. Reef and wreck trips target species such as Yellowtail and Mutton Snapper, Grouper, Kingfish, and Blackfin Tuna while offering opportunities to explore local reef structure and wrecks.
Lobster trips combine snorkeling with traditional methods using a tickle stick and net, and the captain provides hands‑on instruction during these dives. The captain’s guidance on reef, wreck, and offshore techniques is included across multiple trip formats.
Snap Em Up Fishing Charters LLC operates out of Islamorada, making it convenient for anglers staying throughout the Middle and Upper Keys. Reservations are recommended to secure desired trip length and date. Trip options accommodate solo anglers, small groups, and family outings, with flexible half‑day and full‑day schedules.
