Our experienced captain will navigate to productive fishing grounds quickly, maximizing your fishing time. This option provides excellent value while still delivering the authentic Keys fishing experience that makes our waters famous.

This six-hour adventure strikes the perfect balance between our half-day and full-day options, giving you ample time to reach more distant fishing grounds while maintaining a schedule that leaves part of your day free for other Key Largo activities.
The extended duration of our 3/4 day charter allows Blue Ocean to venture further into Key Largo’s diverse fishing zones, including patch reefs, deeper wrecks, and channel edges that hold larger fish. This Key Largo fishing charter option is particularly popular among serious anglers who appreciate having extra time to try different techniques and locations. During the six-hour trip, you’ll have opportunities to target multiple species and potentially experience different fishing environments in a single outing. Our captain will customize the experience based on current fishing conditions and your preferences, ensuring you maximize every minute of your charter. Many of our repeat clients consider this the “sweet spot” of fishing charter durations in the Florida Keys.

This eight-hour adventure gives you the freedom to target trophy fish in offshore waters, explore multiple fishing environments, and fully immerse yourself in the marine paradise surrounding Key Largo.
The full-day charter with Blue Ocean opens up possibilities that shorter trips simply cannot offer. With eight hours at your disposal, we can reach prime offshore locations where larger pelagic species roam, including sailfish, mahi-mahi, tuna, and wahoo (seasonal). Our experienced captain can implement advanced fishing techniques and strategies that require more time and patience but often yield the most impressive results. Throughout your charter, we can adapt to changing conditions, moving between different fishing grounds to follow the action.
This comprehensive Key Largo fishing charter includes a mid-day break where you can enjoy a packed lunch (which you’re welcome to bring) while relaxing on the water. Many guests appreciate this opportunity to recharge before the afternoon fishing session. The full-day format allows for a more relaxed pace, giving you time to truly appreciate the stunning natural beauty of the Florida Keys while still maximizing your fishing opportunities. For serious anglers or those wanting the complete Key Largo fishing experience, our full-day charter represents the ultimate choice.
Reef Fishing Adventures - Key Largo's Underwater Paradise
Key Largo is world-renowned for its spectacular reef system, and our specialized Reef Fishing Adventures take full advantage of this underwater paradise. The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary protects the only living coral barrier reef in North America, creating a vibrant ecosystem teeming with diverse marine life and excellent fishing opportunities just minutes from shore.
On our reef fishing charters, Blue Ocean targets the abundant populations of snapper, grouper, triggerfish, and other reef dwellers that make these waters famous among anglers. Using light to medium tackle and specialized techniques, we’ll position you over productive reef structures where the action can be fast and furious. Our captain’s intimate knowledge of Key Largo’s reef system ensures we can locate productive spots regardless of conditions, giving you the best chance at a successful day. These trips can be incorporated into any of our charter durations, making reef fishing accessible whether you have a half day or full day to spend with us. For visitors to Key Largo, reef fishing offers not just great angling opportunities but also glimpses of the spectacular underwater world that makes this destination truly special.
Backcountry Fishing Excursions - Explore Key Largo's Hidden Waters
The backcountry waters around Key Largo offer a completely different but equally rewarding fishing experience. These sheltered flats, mangrove islands, and shallow estuaries represent some of Florida’s most pristine environments and harbor species rarely encountered in other fishing venues. Blue Ocean’s Backcountry Fishing Excursions provide access to these secluded areas where skilled anglers can target prized gamefish in their natural habitats.
During your backcountry charter, you’ll navigate through serene mangrove channels and expansive flats where species like bonefish, permit, redfish, snook, and tarpon thrive. These challenging gamefish are known for testing an angler’s skill and patience, offering some of the most rewarding catches available in Key Largo waters. Our captain specializes in the subtle techniques required for successful backcountry fishing, from quiet approaches to sight-casting to visible fish. Beyond the exceptional fishing, these trips offer unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities, with frequent sightings of dolphins, rays, sharks, wading birds, and other Florida Keys wildlife. The backcountry experience showcases a side of Key Largo that many visitors never get to see, making it a truly special addition to your fishing adventure with Blue Ocean.
Offshore Deep Sea Fishing - Key Largo's Big Game Challenge
For anglers seeking the ultimate challenge and the chance at landing truly impressive catches, Blue Ocean’s Offshore Deep Sea Fishing charters deliver unforgettable big game experiences. Venturing beyond the reef line into the deep Atlantic waters off Key Largo, these specialized trips target the powerful pelagic species that migrate through Florida Keys waters throughout the year.
Our offshore charters focus on trolling and live baiting techniques designed to entice species like mahi-mahi (dolphin fish), sailfish, wahoo, kingfish, tuna, and even marlin during their seasonal migrations. The thrill of hooking into these oceanic predators creates fishing memories that last a lifetime. Using heavy tackle and specialized equipment, Blue Ocean provides everything needed to battle these formidable adversaries. Our captain monitors weather patterns, water temperatures, and current flows to position you in prime offshore locations where these migratory species are most active. While offshore fishing requires a longer time commitment (typically our full-day charter), the rewards can be spectacular with opportunities for trophy-class fish that simply aren’t available in nearshore waters. For serious anglers visiting Key Largo, an offshore adventure with Blue Ocean represents the pinnacle of big game fishing in the Florida Keys.
