Thrilling Offshore Adventure: Chasing Big Game in Islamorada
It was a beautiful day to head out on the water for a Private 4 to 8 Hours Offshore Charter Trip with Coral Sea Charters here in Islamorada, FL. May is a prime time for offshore and reef fishing, as the warmer waters start to attract all kinds of gamefish close to the surface. We met up at Whale Harbor Marina bright and early at 7:00 AM, got everything ready, and set off to chase some big ones. The weather was ideal - just a few scattered clouds in the sky, nice and comfortable temperatures, and calm seas that made the ride out smooth and enjoyable. We started the day with some deep sea and light tackle fishing, working different depths and presentations to find where the fish were holding. While we didn't end up hooking into any of the prized offshore species like Mahi or Tuna, it was still a fun and productive day on the water. We spotted plenty of baitfish and gamefish crashing the surface, and it was great to see the action, even if we didn't get any to bite. The best part was just being out on the water, taking in the beautiful Islamorada scenery and enjoying the day. Islamorada is world-renowned for its offshore and reef fishing, and it's easy to see why - the waters are so vibrant and full of life. Even without landing any big fish, it was still a fantastic trip, with great company and a chance to experience all that this fishery has to offer. If you're looking to get out on the water for an unforgettable offshore or reef fishing adventure in Islamorada, FL, I highly recommend booking a trip with Coral Sea Charters. Whether you're an experienced angler or a first-timer, our team will make sure you have an incredible time. From the ride out to the fishing action to the stunning scenery, it's an experience you won't soon forget. So what are you waiting for? Come join us and let's see what the offshore bite has to offer!

We had a great time! Capt. Joe and his first mate Jennifer made it easy and fun ——-and turned us into real fisherman for a day! That’s not easy since we’re both inexperienced fishermen. But, you’d never know by the catch we hauled in!! 😎 Thanks!

What a day! A beautiful sunrise turned into some lightning, a water spout, a beautiful rainbow and one heck of a rain storm. Captain Joe and his mate Travis found us some fantastic fishing and the black fin tuna of a lifetime (38 1/2”!) it was an absolutely incredible day. (We also got some mutton, yellowtail & rainbow runner). We will certainly be back again! Grateful for their incredible wealth of knowledge!
