When a place is known as the “Capital of the World,” it means you can travel the globe and never rival the experience. Islamorada fishing takes the designation of “world's best” to a new level.

Visitors to Islamorada – “Sport Fishing Capital of the World” - know this place is true to its title. There is no finer sport fishing in the Florida Keys – or anywhere – than on this unassuming tropical getaway just 15 miles south of Key Largo. The Islamorada fishing charter industry includes the largest sport-fishing fleet in the upper Keys. Avid anglers, tournament fishermen and first-timers flock year-round to Islamorada fishing hot-spots for a chance to catch some of the world's most sought-after game fish.

Waters from the warm Atlantic Ocean and the balmy Gulf of Mexico fuse to create the deep-blue mixture surrounding Islamorada, drawing species such as marlin, sailfish, wahoo, dolphin (mahi mahi,) tuna, king fish, grouper, cobia, amberjack, African pompano, yellowtail and mutton snapper. Up to 600 species of game fish call the crystal-clear waters of the Florida Keys home, and choosing an Islamorada fishing charter will take you to them!

Islamorada fishing is not limited to the experienced angler, by any means. The island also offers backcountry fishing, a chance for anyone to land a tarpon, bonefish, permit or snook. A party-boat excursion is also a great way to entertain family or friends.

And while Islamorada fishing charter excursions are world-renowned, rest assured this paradise features many other opportunities to relax and enjoy an island experience. If you're searching for a place to stay, Islamorada boasts some of the Keys' finest hotels, restaurants and bakeries.
