Book with Nick Collins
Capt. Nick Collins invites you to embark on a fishing journey through the stunning waters of Key West, Florida, aboard a spacious 28’ WhiteWater center console. With a passion for the sea and years of expertise, Capt. Nick ensures every guest experiences a comfortable and enjoyable fishing adventure in one of the most vibrant marine environments in the world. Known for hosting a variety of fish species, Key West waters offer incredible opportunities to catch prized species like Mutton Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, Black Grouper, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Amberjack, Yellowtail Snapper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Snowy Grouper, Wahoo, Tarpon, and many more. With any luck, you’ll be reeling in some of these trophy catches during your trip!
Capt. Nick tailors each trip to your fishing interests, offering a wide range of techniques, including bottom fishing, spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, and jigging. If you’re in the mood for a unique challenge, he also specializes in kite fishing, when conditions are right—simply ask, and Capt. Nick will make it happen. Each technique is geared towards giving you the best shot at landing a great catch, whether you’re near the reefs, wrecks, offshore, or inshore waters.
For families, Capt. Nick’s charters are a perfect choice. Young anglers are always welcome on board, and if you need a child-sized life vest, he’ll gladly provide one to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. Families and groups of up to six can relax in the well-equipped boat, which even includes a toilet for convenience. While the captain provides all the essential fishing gear, including rods, reels, and lures, guests are welcome to bring their own snacks for the trip.
Live bait is available, though it’s a good idea to check if you’ll be catching it yourself before setting out. The charter includes fishing licenses for all passengers, so all you need to do is come prepared for a day of fun and relaxation. Bringing essentials like sunglasses, non-spray sunscreen, and your favorite drinks and snacks is highly recommended, though water and a cooler with ice are provided on board.

We had an amazing experience fishing with Nick. He kept us informed about the weather leading up to our trip and knew precisely where to find the fish. We’ll definitely reach out to him during our next visit! Thanks, Nick!

We were on vacation in the Keys and decided to take the kids on a fishing trip, and I couldn't be more pleased! Captain Nick spent quality time with each of my children, answering all their questions and helped us catch a ton of fish! It was a fantastic day with the kids and Ride Out Charters! We’ll definitely book another trip next time we’re in the Keys; my wife is even eager to join since the kids enjoyed it so much!

My family and I have gone fishing with Captain Nick multiple times, and he consistently delivers a fun, professional, and highly knowledgeable experience. His ability to read the water, wildlife, and conditions is astonishing—it's almost like a superpower! His skills not only enhance the fishing experience but also make you feel safe while out on the water. We will definitely be back and can always count on him to help us catch some fish!

Having fished in the Keys for years and experienced many different charters, I can confidently say that Captain Nick is one of the best guides out there. We wanted to target Mutton Snapper, and he delivered a full day packed with action.
