Gulf Of Mexico Wrecks
Among Key West’s main attractions are the wrecks that lie scattered on the ocean floor. These wrecks are not only great to explore during snorkeling and diving tours, but also make amazing fishing grounds for fish of all shapes and sizes. Our wrecks are located between 25 and 60 miles off shore and most are from the 1940s. Some of them are freighters, others military vessels, and many are shrimp boats that are resting on the ocean floor in depths of 55 to 95 feet. These wrecks attract many species of fish looking for shelter and food, which makes these locations perfect for catching huge fish, such as 200-300lb. goliath grouper, 20-60lb. cobia, grey snapper, grouper, and even 20-30lb. permit! So if you are looking for a great catch, head out to the Key West reefs!
Many wrecks are located in close vicinity to each other and our guides know exactly where to take you on any given day for the best-possible catch! Tell the captain which fish species you are looking for and he or she will take you on the ultimate hunt. You cannot get the real Key West experience without going fishing, so trust us with your fishing adventure and experience the excitement of battling fish in the wrecks. We have the captains, crews, and fishing boats that are just perfect for you and all of them know these waters like their own homes. You cannot go wrong with fishing the wrecks, especially not with one of our charters.
