Key West Fishing Guides - Professional Guided Fishing Trips in Key West

Charter boats are considered a service and are tax exempt in the state of Florida. There are a few online companies that are charging sales tax on fishing charters, simply to make more money. This is a scam that is both wrong and very illegal!! Stay away from these services that charge booking fees, service charges or surcharges. Ask them up front!

Apparently a few charter services have decided that instead of telling you the total cost up front for your charter, it is easier to give you a lower rate and hit you up with a fuel surcharge when you go to pay for your trip! I have seen this rate as high as 18% and is simply a scam. Our rates include all of the fuel necessary to run as far as we need to, to keep you on fish, no excuses. If you are booking a trip that requires us to burn more fuel than normal, we will let you know this upfront so that you are aware of any additional charges (i.e. Dry Tortugas, Gulf Towers or Shrimp boat trips.)
