Florida Straits Sportfishing is a Key West-based charter operator specializing in sportfishing trips in the Straits of Florida. The company offers a range of guided charters, from short two-hour night sessions to extended ten-hour offshore excursions. Trips target species such as sailfish, mahi mahi, tuna, wahoo, snapper, yellowtail, tarpon, sharks, mutton snapper, grouper, and Broadbill Swordfish. Captains and crew guide anglers to reefs, wrecks, the continental shelf, and lesser-fished offshore waters, tailoring each trip to seasonal patterns and target species. Night fishing trips focus on species with nocturnal activity, including dedicated four-hour nighttime snapper trips and two-hour tarpon and shark outings. Half-day four-hour trips explore reefs and wrecks for rod-bending action, while six-hour offshore trips seek mutton snapper and grouper in deeper structure. The ten-hour swordfishing expedition travels to the continental shelf and includes opportunities to encounter schools of dolphin near floating debris. Anglers can expect hands-on guidance for casting, baiting, and fighting fish suitable for a range of skill levels.
