Thrilling Kite Fishing in Key West

Visual Surface Strikes and High-Energy Action

Kite fishing represents one of sport fishing's most exciting and visual techniques, using specialized kites to suspend live baits near the surface where sailfish, tuna, and kingfish create spectacular strikes that you can watch develop from start to finish. Key West's position in the Florida Straits provides ideal conditions for this classic live-bait technique, especially during cooler months when baitfish schools attract hungry predators.


This highly engaging technique works best during cooler months when baitfish schools are most active.



The visual nature of kite fishing adds unprecedented excitement as you watch fish approach baits, creating anticipation that builds until the explosive moment of the strike, making this a high-energy charter option unlike any other fishing technique.
