✅ Before Your Trip
For trips up to six passengers:
👉 Each passenger must complete the insurance waiver (including adults on behalf of minors): [here] (https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/w/rd9k5tiavpwper7h2rhaqh/web/)

I acknowledge that for groups of 7–8 passengers, the following fee is not included in my booking and is paid directly to the captain at the dock before departure: a captain fee of $65/hr. and a fuel charge of $35/hr. will be charged to my credit card. A suggested 20% tip is not included.
The boat must have a captain. Please choose one of the three captains listed on the bareboat waiver, or contact Six Fins Charter at (305) 906-2880 for assistance.
Please complete all required forms in advance so we can depart on time.

⚓ Your Experience – Open Itinerary & Fully Customizable

Popular experiences include:

🎣 Important Information About Combo Fishing
If fishing is included in your Custom Activities Combo, it is offered as a casual recreational activity within a multi-experience charter. It is ideal for children, beginners, and families who would like to spend part of the day fishing while also enjoying activities such as sandbars, snorkeling, sightseeing, or dolphin watching.
Available fishing time depends on your selected itinerary, travel time, weather, sea conditions, and how much of the charter you choose to devote to other activities. Combo fishing is not the same experience as a dedicated fishing charter and does not provide the same preparation, fishing time, effort, or fishing focus. Anyone 16 or older must purchase a 3-day non-resident license, which costs $17.00 online through [Go Outdoors Florida](https://license.gooutdoorsflorida.com/Licensing/CustomerLookup.aspx)
If you want a true Key West fishing experience, reserve our Private Patch Reef Fishing charter.
Routes between Atlantic and Gulf waters are selected based on weather and sea conditions to ensure comfort and safety.
Start times are flexible. The day is yours.
