What type of fishing is the best charter in Key West?

The “best” type of fishing charter really depends on what you’re looking to get out of your experience. In Key West, we’re fortunate to have a diverse marine ecosystem that allows for various fishing styles. If it’s action-packed adventure you’re after, hunting for the elusive sailfish or tarpon might be your calling.

What month is the best fishing in the Keys?

Fishing in the Keys is fantastic year-round, but if you’re looking for the best time, many anglers point to the spring months, particularly March through June. During this period, the waters come alive with a variety of species, providing excellent opportunities for both offshore and flats fishing. This is the time when you’ll find tarpon, permit, and bonefish in the shallows, while offshore waters are teeming with sailfish, mahi mahi, and tuna. However, every season has its specials, and at Y-Knot, we’re committed to making your trip memorable no matter when you visit.
