Itinerary

  1. We'll be departing the dock and fishing in the areas surrounding the Upper Keys. These areas can include the Everglades, Biscayne Bay and the nearshore reefs of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. The day is a mixture of fishing, ecotour and sightseeing in some of the world's most pristine waters. Fishing in the Florida Keys is an experience both above and below the waterline. The best part is that there's no need to worry about seasickness since we'll be in the shallow protected nearshore waters of the Florida Keys. Everything you need for fishing is provided and all you need to bring is your personal items, food and drinks. The boat is equipped with an ice chest to keep all your items cold.

About Key Largo

Key Largo is the largest of the Florida Keys, a long island of mangroves and coral reefs where snorkellers visit an underwater statue.

Key Largo is the first and largest of the Florida Keys, reached by the Overseas Highway from the mainland. Its two coasts are very different: the Atlantic side faces coral reefs, while Florida Bay on the other side is shallow and lined with mangroves. The island gave its name to the 1948 film Key Largo.
