Description
Key West Water Sports is pleased to offer an easy, economical way to experience the thrill of Key West sportfishing. With our Key West Split Fishing Charters, Key West visitors and locals alike can take advantage of a low-cost way to enjoy some Key West fishing. A split-charter is the perfect option for getting out on the water with a friend or family member because you get all of the the amenities and fun of a legendary Key West fishing charter at a fraction of the usual cost.
Key West Split Fishing Charters are exactly what they sound like: the overall cost of the charter is split between several groups of people or a number of individual people in order to reduce the cost for all. For example, with a group of two in your party, a Key West Charter Captain who has only 4 people booked on a trip that can accommodate 6 may be able to take you on board. Besides being cost-effective and convenient, splitting a charter gives anglers the chance to meet new people and enjoy the greatest sport in the world with new-found friends.
Our Key West charter captains offer split charters on most boats in the Key West offshore fleet. That's why we can get you off the dock for far less than the cost of chartering a sportfishing boat by yourself. Your party can experience the best deep sea fishing in the Keys with no more than 6 fishermen on the boat. Each split-charter trip is all-inclusive, with licenses, tackle, and live bait provided; you just bring your sunscreen, camera, lunch, and cold drinks.
All of our Key West charter boats are powered by quiet, efficient, twin outboard motors that make the offshore runs fast so your fishing time is maximized. The Key West charter fishing boats are fully equipped for a pleasant long-range offshore fishing experience. Plentiful shade, comfortable seating, private restrooms, top-of-the-line fishing gear, and friendly advice from your Key West fishing guide will make your day of Key West fishing a success.
Make your Key West offshore fishing dreams a reality with a Key West Split Fishing Charter from Key West Water Sports. Use our secure online booking system to put your trip together now!

6 Hour Split Charter
Paul B, Sep 2021 Verified
I went on the 6 hour split charter on the Captain Conch. Captain Greg and first mate Adam were top notch!! I have a small charter business in MA so I know how important it is to make your customers safe and happy. Captain and Adam did just that. Now, the important part, they put us on the fish. Between 6 of us, we got ~9 mahi-mahi, 3 ambers and a false alby!!Thanks again for everyone involved to make it an enjoyable trip!!!!
Great Option for a single / duo looking for charter experience
Lou P, Sep 2021 Verified

My husband and I were on Fish Key West with Captain Tony and Brian. There was also a family of 3. Everyone caught fish. We decided last minute to go out further for Mahi instead of to the reef. Glad we did! Came home with 5 pounds of filets.
Fantastic Split Charter
William W, Jul 2021 Verified
Captain put us right some good fishing spots. Caught plenty of Mahi-mahi. First mate was on it made sure we had plenty of fishing time between us. Everyone caught some fish and everyone went home with some fish. Great time.
Fun day!
Teresa T, Jul 2021 Verified
We booked for Wednesday but early Tuesday Gil called and asked us to rearrange our outing. He was super accommodating and we were able to fish that day! Our captain and mate worked diligently to help us find some big fish but there were none to be caught that day. They took us to the reefs and we were able to have a blast catching some smaller fish. Any day fishing is a good day! The boat was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend this charter!

Accessibility Statement

Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Disability profiles supported in our website

Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.
Browser and assistive technology compatibility
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Notes, comments, and feedback
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
