Key West Fishing Guides - Professional Guided Fishing Trips in Key West

Charter boats are considered a service and are tax exempt in the state of Florida. There are a few online companies that are charging sales tax on fishing charters, simply to make more money. This is a scam that is both wrong and very illegal!! Stay away from these services that charge booking fees, service charges or surcharges. Ask them up front!

Please read first! - Apparently a few charter services have decided that instead of telling you the total cost up front for your charter, it is easier to give you a lower rate and hit you up with a fuel surcharge or worse yet, make you pay for all of the fuel used that day out of your pocket, in addition to their full rate!

Our rates include all of the fuel necessary to run as far as we need to, to keep you on fish, no excuses. Due to the incredibly high fuel prices, we have decided to be the first and only company to come up with a new, easier pricing system that avoids charging an additional fuel surcharge or making you pony up at the end of the day. Our rates cover the entire cost of fuel no matter how far we must travel.
