About
All passengers 12 and under must wear a life jacket at all times while onboard the boat.
Lobster season brings us down to the Keys, but the fishing keeps us there - inshore or offshore, and all spots in between.
Key West is part of the reason that Florida is the Fishing Capital of the World. This is an extremely active fishery that includes amazing inshore and flats fishing, alongside amazing offshore fishing. Key West is home to lobstering and the ever-popular mini-season. The mini-season is just two days, begins the last Wednesday of July, and ends at midnight Thursday. Then, just a week or so later, the regular season begins at 12:01 a.m. Aug. 6th.
