Island Time Charters

Captains Mike, Zach, and Jeff have built a strong following among Key West visitors, and it's easy to see why. Reviewers consistently praise their deep local knowledge, ability to put guests on fish, and a relaxed, fun atmosphere on the water. One family described an all-day fishing trip where the crew kept them on fish the entire time, then cleaned and vacuum sealed everything for the ride home. Another group managed to squeeze in spearfishing, sandbar time, and traditional fishing all in a single six-hour charter. That said, there are some legitimate concerns worth noting. The company recently changed management, and a handful of guests experienced booking issues, including confirmed reservations that were not honored and trip types advertised on their website that were no longer actually available. These aren't small complaints, and travelers should call ahead to confirm the details of their specific charter before making any travel plans around a booking here. If you can verify your trip details upfront, the on-water experience appears to be genuinely excellent. Guests have spotted dolphins, sea turtles, manatees, and sharks, and the captains bring a storytelling, educational quality to the trips that families especially seem to love. The variety of offerings, from lobstering to spearfishing to sunset cruises, gives it real appeal for mixed groups.
