Florida Keys fishing charters targeting Sailfish, Mahi, and Swordfish
Book Your VoyageKey Largo vs. Islamorada fishing
If your goal is reef fishing, Key Largo can work. If your goal is serious offshore fishing, our Islamorada fishing charters usually win because they put you closer to the Gulf Stream, the Humps, and the blue water that holds Sailfish, Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna, and Swordfish.
Why Islamorada wins offshore
Less run time, faster access to productive water, and more time with lines in the water instead of watching fuel burn.
Is the drive worth it?
Yes. For most visitors staying in Key Largo, the drive to Robbie's Marina is short and the payoff is more real fishing time once you leave the dock.
Key Largo fishing charters and deep sea fishing
If you are scouting the best Key Largo fishing charters, start here. Key Largo is a great base, but seasoned anglers know the real gateway to the Gulf Stream and the "Humps" sits 15 minutes south in Islamorada. That is where DirtyBoat fishes.
Launching from Robbie's Marina shaves miles off the run to blue water. More lines in the water, less daylight burned getting there. Whether you are after Mahi-Mahi, tournament-grade Sailfish, or Giant Swordfish, that head start is hard for a Key Largo boat to match.
The DirtyBoat advantage
Many Key Largo fishing guides run small center consoles that leave you exposed to the elements. The DirtyBoat is a 42-foot Liberty Express. You get a fully air-conditioned salon, a private restroom, and a stable, heavy-weather hull that keeps your crew comfortable while you fight big fish.
