Wrecked Charters Key West

Wrecked Charters offers private Key West fishing, spearfishing and boating trips with a locally based crew. Rod-and-reel programs cover nearshore and offshore fishing, while the spearfishing side focuses on reefs and flats. The operation identifies Captain Austin as a Key West native with a family background in commercial diving and lobstering.

Contact and booking details

Rod-and-reel fishing options

Four-, six- and eight-hour fishing trips are described, with snapper, grouper, cobia, king mackerel and amberjack among the advertised targets. The captain chooses grounds according to the season, conditions and guests' preferences. That makes the first inquiry a useful time to explain whether you want an introduction, a dinner-oriented reef trip or a more focused offshore day.

The fishing page lists tackle, live and cut bait, fish cleaning and ice for the catch as included. It separately discusses license and potential fuel arrangements, so ask for the full total and coverage rather than assuming the quoted trip covers every item. The current booking confirmation should settle those details for the particular program.

Spearfishing and other activities

Spearfishing is a separate option for guests comfortable swimming and interested in underwater hunting. The website describes guidance for first-time spearfishers and targets such as hogfish, grouper and snapper. Discuss depth, experience and equipment fit with the crew before selecting this trip, especially if only some members of a party want to enter the water.

The site also offers lobstering and recreational boat experiences. Published group limits and prices differ between service descriptions, so get the exact permitted guest count and rate for your activity in writing. The private format allows a conversation about the group, but it does not mean every listed activity can be combined within a short booking.

Booking with the local crew

Call or text 305-393-6117 or email info@wreckedcharters.com. The contact page says trips depart from Key West-area docks, with the precise meeting point supplied when booking. Use those instructions rather than assuming a fixed marina from the photographs, and ask who will captain or guide the program you reserve.

Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and personal food or drinks as directed. For diving, clarify what equipment the crew provides and whether you should bring personal items. Request the current deposit and weather terms alongside the itinerary. Agreement about the activity, guest count and included items is especially helpful when a business offers both rod fishing and underwater hunting.

Details checked October 21, 2026, against published operator information. Confirm rates, departure details and policies directly before booking. Fishing targets depend on conditions, applicable seasons and the trip selected.
