The Florida Keys are comprised of three main groups such as the upper, middle and lower Florida Keys, with a total of approximately 1700 islands. One of the greatest locations for a fun vacation or even a romantic getaway is found among the islands found in Islamorada Florida, also known as the “Village of Islands”, as well as the fishing capital of the world.
Fishing can be fun, relaxing, as well as challenging. Reef fishing is great for both the experienced as well as beginners. The fish caught on these trips range in size and include mackerel, grouper, snapper, barracuda and sharks among others. If you have an underwater camera, you may be able to photograph the treasures below, such as shipwrecks and beautiful coral reefs along with marine life. Although catch and release is encouraged, your chef at your favorite restaurant, in Islamorada, will be more than happy to prepare your catch of the day for you.
Kayak fishing charters are definitely different. If you don’t care for the interference by the sounds of boat motors, this is the way to go. Along with fishing, you can truly have a unique Everglades experience, while sitting or standing up in your Kayak. The Everglades is abundant in wildlife such as unique birds, along with crocodiles. If you have had enough of fishing, of course, you can be taken out a bit further to enjoy snorkeling and see unique fish such as the parrot fish, butterfly fish, and possibly a moray eel, stingray, or nurse shark along with the beautiful coral and other underwater beauty. The best time of year for Kayak fishing is in the winter, so that you can escape those pesky mosquitoes.
But, what do the fisherman do when not all of the family enjoys fishing. When fishing Florida, there are multiple charters available which can be more than fishing for the day, while the family waits for the return of their anglers. Your family can enjoy various water tours such as the Eco Tours, and Everglades excursions where then can swim, snorkel, and enjoy the wildlife, as well as marine life, seeing sights they may never see elsewhere. Of course, while your non-fisherman enjoy their day, you can drop a line and do a bit of fishing during these trips as well. A Florida Keys vacation provides a wonderful vacation experience and plenty of fun for everyone.
