Key West Fishing Excursion 🎣 One of the highlights Key West Fishing Excursion 🎣 One of the highlights of our trip was booking a charter boat to go fishing off Key West!

🎣 I ended up booking a charter via the Fishing Booker app, which was very helpful for checking availability and reviews for local charters. We went with Reel Easy Fishing Charters and Captain Zac was fantastic - easy-going and great with the kids, taking time to explain the right techniques and planning out a fun half day on the water for us! After catching several snappers, we went swimming off Boca Grande Key 🏝️ Spot the lemon shark! 🦈 

Tip: Another option is to book with charter boats in person at the Historic Charter Boat Row in Key West, where there are about 35 charters offering various options including deep sea or reef fishing, half day or full day, private or group etc 🎣
