Sailfish leaping out of the water on an Islamorada fishing charter

Islamorada Sailfish Charters

The Acrobats of the Sea | Winter Prime Time

World-Class Sailfishing in Islamorada

You say you have never hooked a sailfish? Well, come to Islamorada and experience the thrill of a lifetime! Sailfish are the acrobats of the sea. They never give up—leaping, twisting, diving, and leaping again in a desperate dance.

Winter is Prime Time. When the north winds blow, the bite turns on. Live bait and kite fishing are the keys to victory here, and there is no telling how many you can hook when the school moves through.

🏆 Record Day: DirtyBoat has hauled in as many as 15 sailfish in a single outing!

Luxury Meets Combat

Hunting Sailfish requires a high-quality vessel and precise positioning. We offer a high-class experience on the 42-foot Liberty Express.

  • ❄️ Climate Controlled: Fully air-conditioned salon to recover between bites.

"When you book our charters, you get the bounty without the misery."

Master of the Hunt

Success on the water relies heavily on the captain. Captain Kit Carson has spent a lifetime learning the subtle tell-tales of sailfish movement in the Florida Keys.

Whether you are a seasoned tournament pro or a first-timer looking for your first "Sail," Captain Kit and the crew will work relentlessly to ensure your day is a perfect success. We hunt where the fish hide.
