Live Action Sportfishing – Private Key West Fishing Charter with Captain Justin

Live Action Sportfishing, led by Captain Justin, delivers elite private fishing charters designed for anglers seeking authentic Key West action in the inshore and backcountry shallows. Operating from 5130 Overseas Highway, these charters specialize in Key West fishing charter experiences that spotlight seasonal tarpon migrations, shark battles, sight-fishing encounters, and flats exploration for permit, redfish, and cobia. Each trip accommodates up to four guests and is fully private, ensuring a focused, educational, and rewarding day on the water.

Captain Justin’s unmatched command of Key West’s winding channels, grass flats, and hidden edges allows guests to experience specific species during prime feeding windows. His precision-based approach makes him a trusted leader in Key West tarpon fishing, offering both sunrise and sunset sessions that put anglers directly in front of rolling Silver Kings. From patient coaching for beginners to the technical challenges demanded by seasoned anglers, Captain Justin personalizes every session to match skill level, season, and conditions.

Anglers can choose from five immersive trips tailored to maximize action and time on the water. The Half Day Sunrise Tarpon (4 Hours) adventure launches at 6, 7, or 8 AM, placing anglers in the backcountry as giant tarpon feed aggressively at daybreak. The Half Day Sunset Tarpon (4 Hours) trip departs at 5:00 PM, taking advantage of golden-hour light and optimal evening tides. For extended exploration, the 3/4 Day (6 Hours) and Full Day (8 Hours) options expand the range into remote flats holding sharks, permit, cobia, and trophy redfish. The exclusive Full Day “Double Mad Tarpon!” (8 Hours) combines both sunrise and sunset windows, delivering unparalleled tarpon hookup opportunities across a single epic day.

Every charter includes premium rods, reels, hand-selected tackle, live bait, artificial lures, bottled water, and a cooler packed with ice. Captain Justin provides expert filleting and fish cleaning, ensuring guests leave with perfectly prepared catches. With all equipment and logistics included, anglers can remain fully focused on the thrill of the chase.

Pricing begins at $700 for a private half-day charter for up to four passengers, with full refunds available for cancellations made 8 days prior. Prime tarpon hours fill quickly each season, making early booking essential for travelers aiming to experience Key West’s most iconic inshore battles.
