If DirtyBoat is booked, we can still get your group on the water. Our partner fleet—Miss Penny, Just Cuz, Blue Heaven, and Islamorada Luxe—are vetted to the DirtyBoat standard. From deep sea fishing to private sandbar trips and sunset cruises.
Shared Fishing Adventures in Islamorada
A split charter is the ultimate way to experience the Islamorada deep sea without chartering the whole ship. We limit our crew to no more than four anglers. In our experience, this is the "Magic Number" to ensure everyone gets enough reel time and a massive haul of fish to take home. As the top-rated Islamorada fishing charter, DirtyBoat runs split trips that rival private charters in quality.
Although we hold a United States Coast Guard license for as many as six passengers, limiting the headcount creates a premium experience. You aren't just a passenger; you're part of the crew.
What It Is
A shared offshore trip where you book a spot instead of paying for the whole boat.
Who It's For
Solo anglers, couples, and small parties who want real offshore fishing at a lower cost of entry.
What To Expect
A maximum of 4 anglers, quality reel time, tournament-grade gear, and a crew that fishes hard instead of overcrowding the deck.

Split Charter FAQs
What is a split charter?
A shared trip where you book a spot instead of paying for the entire boat.
Is it good for solo anglers?
Yes. Split charters are one of the best ways for solo anglers and couples to fish offshore without a full private-boat budget.
Will I fish with strangers?
Yes, unless you book all the spots. But we cap the trip at 4 anglers so the deck does not feel crowded.
What if the trip doesn't fill?
If the minimum crew requirement is not met, the trip does not sail and you get a refund or credit.
