Key West Fishing Charters Are A Lot Of Fun

By Jayne Rutledge


If you enjoy leisure and have the ability to help people enjoy themselves, you might consider starting a business in a vacation destination that is centered on tourism. Key West fishing charters are a great way to maximize on this. There are minimal startup costs, compared to other businesses and the satisfaction of being a guide is relatively good. South Florida provides a steady customer base too.

If you are a fan of rod and reel, Key West is probably already high on your list of places to visit. The tarpon are probably the most popular fish to go after as they provide a massive fight and quite a spectacle when they leap out of the water in an effort to rid themselves of your tackle. There are few places where they live so abundantly.

Sport fisherman the world around hear stories about the incredible action in Key West and many travel there several times a year to hook up to their tarpon, locally called "Bonefish", and grouper, which is considered a delicacy. Giving these folks the opportunity of a lifetime is why they pay huge amounts to get a spot on a good boat. Captains who have good knowledge of where the fish are become hot commodities.

Key West is only one of a chain of islands though and in order to fully experience the potential for wildlife, you'll need to do some exploring. Nature is something that controls the world down there. There are endangered birds and deer that you can't see anywhere else in the world. Invasive species are a problem but it does make for some interesting viewing. Iguanas and pythons have make this their home.

The underwater views are spectacular as well. If you are scuba certified and have all of the required equipment, this place provides some of the most stunning scuba diving in the world. There are shipwrecks and reefs that host all different sorts of sea life and you can get up close and personal with most of them without much risk of danger.

If you aren't scuba certified, there are still lots of options for viewing the underwater bounty. With just a snorkel, a mask and some fins you can skin dive just about anywhere you see some water. There are lots of great things to experience and you'll never be at risk for having faulty air tanks or decompression sickness.

Key West provides a steady stream of customers too. There are thousands of people arriving and leaving every day. Tourism is a transient industry and some seasons are better than others but there is a steady stream of people in south Florida the whole year round. Taking advantage of this is a smart way to turn a dollar.

Planning your next vacation doesn't have to involve international travel if you're looking for a tropical get away. Key West fishing charters can provide your favorite sport fisherman with the adventure of a lifetime and the island itself provides countless different opportunities for entertainment and culture. The biggest problem with Key West is that when you visit, you don't want to leave.
