Description
Key West Party Boat Fishing has a long history as an island highlight. These classic Key West fishing adventures have been a staple on Charter Boat row since wooden sailing vessels began taking island visitors out on the water during the earliest days of Florida Keys tourism. Cool Shore Excursions brings you the modern version of Key West Party Boat Fishing, and no wind is needed to enjoy the excitement that has made Key West Party Boat Fishing trips wildly popular with visitors and locals alike for well over a century.
Party Boats are large recreational fishing boats that can carry anywhere from 10 to 100 people. Local charter captains and fishermen often call these boats Head Boats because each passenger pays a fixed low price “by the head” for an all-inclusive Key West fishing trip. Now, Cool Shore Excursions has arranged a Party Boat price for a smaller inshore vessel that offers a nimble go-anywhere ride in shallow water and the cozy feel of being aboard your own boat.
In a time when high operating costs have driven the price of Key West private fishing charters up to $600–$1,000 dollars per day, a Premium Key West Party Head Boat fishing trip is by far the most budget-friendly way to get out on the water with family and friends, catch some fish, and have a great time on the scenic inshore waters of Key West. Our special limited-capacity Premium Key West Party Head Boat Fishing trips feature a classic open-deck inshore cruiser for a boat ride that is as much fun as the fishing!
Enjoy a tour of the calm, beautiful near-shore waters with their shallow coral patch reefs, white sand bars, and intriguing mangrove islands. Catch unparalleled views of the Key West shoreline as your captain and mate point out some of the island’s most historic locations. Then join in the thrills and pure joy of reeling in fish after fish when your expert charter fishing captain puts the boat right over the perfect honey holes. The fish are smaller inshore, but they usually come in packs and once the bite starts, the action is fast and furious. This is perfect kid fishing, and the only thing more delightful than the bright eyes and smile of a kid with a fish on is the vision of some delicious fillets for lunch or dinner.
The introduction of these limited-capacity Premium Key West Party Head Boat fishing trips is one of the few positive effects of the 2020 pandemic emergency measures that locked down the Keys. A smaller boat and much lower charter fee make it easy to arrange a private charter and enjoy a special time on the water with your crew whether they are family, friends, work colleagues, or just some fun-loving folks you met on the cruise ship.
Experts and new fishermen alike will enjoy Key West's legendary multi-species inshore fishing action, but it is also perfectly OK to just take a relaxing boat ride along the shoreline and out into the Backcountry. Ice-cold water, soda, and premium beer is provided, so bring some take-out and make it a Key West picnic cruise.
Don’t miss this chance to get out for some Key West fishing, introduce the kids to an amazing sport, or simply add a day on the water to your Key West visit. For limited-capacity small-group fishing trips at an excellent price, get in touch with us here at Cool Shore Excursions or use our secure online booking system to get hooked up with one of these Premium Key West Party Head Boat fishing adventures before they are gone.
