What is the best fishing in Key West?

When it comes to the best fishing experiences in Key West, it’s all about targeting the rich diversity of species available, from the thrill of landing a giant Marlin to the joy of catching Mahi Mahi. However, if I had to pick the crown jewel, it would be chasing the elusive Sailfish. September to June marks the season for Sailfish, which not only offers a challenging pursuit but also the chance to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. Each trip is uniquely memorable, partly because of the unpredictable nature of the sea and the stories you’ll have to share. But remember, it’s not just about the catch; it’s about the experience, the sea, and the adventure.

What months are best to fish in Key West?

The beauty of Key West is that every season offers something special for anglers. However, if you’re aiming for the best overall experience, May to August is ideal for a variety of species, including Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Marlin, and Tuna. This period aligns with the peak activity levels of many sought-after fish, enhancing your chances for a successful outing. Our crew at Y-Knot Key West Charters has honed the skills to guide you to the best spots during these months, ensuring your time on the water is both productive and exhilarating.

How much is a Key West fishing charter?

Can I fish from the shore in Key West?

Places like the White Street Pier or Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park offer fruitful grounds for those without a boat.
