Key West Fly & Spin Fishing Charters, Inc. offers guided fishing trips on the flats and surrounding waters of the Florida Keys, from Marathon to Key West and the Marquesas. The company specializes in sight fishing for tarpon, permit, and bonefish, and also targets sharks and barracuda. Trips are suited to novice anglers seeking casting instruction as well as experienced fishers, with options for both fly and spin fishing.

Charters include professional fishing equipment and guidance to help guests pursue their fishing goals. Fly-fishing trips use suitable rods, lines, and flies that imitate local shrimp, crabs, and baitfish. Spin-fishing trips use bait or artificial lures and medium to heavy tackle, depending on the target species. The captain fishes from two boats: a 17-foot Maverick Flats Skiff for shallow-water inshore fishing and a 24-foot Champion Bay Boat designed for flats, wreck, reef, and offshore trips. Anglers may also aim for a “slam,” catching a tarpon, bonefish, and permit in one day.
