Key West Deep Sea Fishing
With Capt. Steven Lamp

Head out to the deep blue waters of the Gulf Stream with Dream Catcher Charters on board the "Intense" our 32 ft Yellowfin offshore deep sea fishing machine. Save money and time fishing on our super fast comfortable boat. More fishing time for your charter as we cruise at over 40 mph in comfort and safety.

Trolling, Kite fishing, Live baiting, Deep Dropping and Fly Fishing are the name of the game here. Unlike the larger sport fishing boats, here, the fisherman fight the fish standing up toe to toe. All fishing techniques are done with the lightest tackle possible so you feel the fight and enjoy. All the fishing tackle used it custom fit to every angler we have come with us to ensure the best possible time for the money. We want you to enjoy the experience.

Charters

We run 4, 6, and 8 hour trips to the blue waters and get you to the fishing in less than 30 minutes from the dock, past all the other boats. Enjoy hands on deep sea fishing with private fishing charters departing daily. Reservations are required.

Species We Fish For

Dolphin (Mahi Mahi) - Blackfin Tuna - Wahoo - Cobia - Sailfish - King Mackerel - White Marlin - Blue Marlin
Sword Fish - Kingfish - Snappers - Grouper - Amber Jacks

Flexible - Versatile

Because of the boat we use our versatility is incredible. You can fish or do anything you want. IF the trolling is a bit slow then we switch to bottom fishing on the reef for Grouper and Snapper. During the summer we even bring along Deep Drop equipment to entertain you with some table fair from the depths of the ocean over 700 ft down. Out on the wall near the gulf stream you can try your luck for a day time sword fish.

 You can even stop at the reef and cool off while seeing the coral below as the boat is fully equipped with 6 sets of snorkel gear. Nowhere else will you get a boat that offers so much for the money. Take a look at our pricing sheet and give us a call to see what kind of adventure we can do for you. As you can see we are fully equipped to handle it all.

"On my charters you will have everything needed and more to catch the fish you are after. Our equipment is top notch and in new condition always. Our boats are repowered yearly and replaced every two years. You deserve the best when paying for a fishing charter".

Key West Deep Sea Fishing Seasons

January - May

Most sport fishing folks consider this to be prime time deep sea fishing for Key West. King Mackerel, Wahoo and Sailfish are the most popular targets with a close second being the Blackfin tunas. There are so many baitfish pushed right up on the reef line that the fish are on a frenzy and ready to eat.  Bottom fishing is outstanding Long runs are not needed this time of the year. Windy is good this time of year as it brings up the bite also with that the waves.

May - September

Dolphin (mahi mahi) seem to be the main focus with great table fare and easy to catch. This is the time for good chances at Marlin and some Wahoo as well. Trolling and drifting make great fun. Bottom fishing is good on the reef for yellowtail snappers and the deeper waters hold the other species in the cooler depths. The weather is calmest during this period.

October - December

Bottom fishing heats back up on the deep wrecks and reef. Wahoo Fishing is best in November as well as the Black fin Tunas. Still some lingering larger Dolphin, Bonito, and other fun species. Deep dropping is fun to catch some dinner. The inner reef offers low crowds and great bottom fishing as it starts to cool off. This time of the year also check out the wreck fishing trips that we offer.
