Description

Get in on some Key West fishing action at an unbeatable price with Premium Key West Party Head Boat Fishing from Fish Key West®. With high fuel prices and climbing operating costs pushing Key West private fishing charter fees ever higher, our low-capacity Party Head Boat Fishing trips are the perfect solution for budget-conscious fishermen. Limited to 10 passengers per trip, these fun expeditions provide a personalized experience that is much like going out on your own boat.

Typically carrying anywhere from 10 to 100 people, party boats are large fishing vessels also known to locals as Head Boats because they charge a low fixed price “by the head” for all-inclusive Key West fishing trips. Party boat fishing trips let beginners and experienced anglers alike enjoy offshore fishing for a fraction of private charter prices. First launched during the days of sail, party boat trips have been a Key West Charter Boat Row tradition for over a century.

In 2020, social distancing restrictions put in place during the pandemic emergency inspired a new type of party boat fishing with boats limited to 10 passengers or 50% of a vessel’s usual capacity. As restrictions eased, Fish Key West® responded to enthusiastic customer reviews of these special fishing trips by continuing to offer our Premium Key West Party Head Boat Fishing Experience with no more than 10 guests on board. These special charter trips are a great way to add an exciting Key West fishing experience to your island visit, introduce family and friends to a new sport, get the kids out on the water, or simply take a sightseeing cruise along the shores of Key West and the neighboring islands.

You will go out in a small boat built for safety, comfort, and agility in nearshore waters, with an expert Key West charter fishing captain and mate on hand to point out interesting sights and historic highlights as well as guide and support your fishing. Key West inshore fishing is famous for delivering hot multi-species action, and these unique Fish Key West® party boat fishing trips offer an unbeatable fun to price ratio. With the huge variety of fish found in the nearshore waters of Key West, you never know what will be pulled up next. It’s common to catch Mangrove Snappers, Grunts, juvenile Groupers, Barracudas and sometimes even Sharks.

Exciting and economical, Fish Key West® Premium Party Head Boat Fishing trips offer a low-cost opportunity to enjoy a fun boat ride, get in some fishing, and with luck come back with a delicious fish dinner. If you prefer touring over fishing, and would like to take in offshore views of the island’s many historic shoreline and waterfront features, your captain will be happy to oblige. Arrangements for special events or romantic occasions are also easy to make. Ice, bottled water, sodas, and premium beers along with all fishing equipment, bait, and licenses are included on every trip. Bring along a bag lunch or take-out order and have a picnic on the water!

Fish Key West® is pleased to offer our guests the chance to catch a limited-capacity small-group fishing trip at an excellent price. Multiple daily booking slots support flexible scheduling (weather/water conditions permitting), and our secure online reservation system backed by friendly customer service makes planning a breeze. Of course, seats are limited by design, so act fast to grab the best timing for your itinerary. Let Fish Key West® hook you up with our Premium Key West Party Head Boat Fishing Experience before this opportunity gets away.
