Nice Guy Charters is a Key West, Florida-based charter company specializing in private fishing trips, sandbar cruises, dolphin watching, sunset tours, and guided mangrove kayak excursions. The fleet operates from Key West harbors and focuses on short family-friendly outings and full-day offshore adventures. Captains and crew are local professionals familiar with reefs, wrecks, sandbars, and mangrove channels around the island.
Clients can choose from a range of trip lengths and styles, including 3-hour and 4-hour half-day charters, 5-hour and 6-hour reef-and-wreck trips, full-day fishing expeditions, sunset cruises, sandbar stops, and custom combination trips that mix fishing, dolphin watching, and beach time. Most fishing trips require no prior experience; gear and bait are provided and no fishing license is needed for visitors on guided charters.
Safety and comfort are priorities: boats are equipped with bimini covers, life jackets, and standard safety gear, while crew provide on-board guidance for anglers and paddlers. Pick-up and drop-off options are available for kayak tours to streamline logistics.
