Tarpon Diem 8-Hr Key West Flats Fishing Charter

Tarpon Diem delivers a full-day private Key West flats and backcountry fishing charter for anglers who want more time on the water, more flexibility, and a personalized owner-operated experience. Departing from Hurricane Hole Marina at 5130 Overseas Hwy #1, this 8-hour trip gives Captain Chad room to adjust the day around tides, weather, guest goals, and what is actively biting.

This private charter is designed for up to four anglers and can target a variety of Key West shallow-water species, including tarpon, permit, sharks, bonefish, barracuda, jacks, ladyfish, sea trout, pompano, and other backcountry favorites. The extended full-day format is especially useful for guests who want to explore more remote flats, channels, basins, and protected waters around the Lower Keys.

Tarpon anglers can pursue powerful Silver Kings using light tackle and proven local techniques, while shark-focused trips may encounter blacktip, spinner, lemon, bull, and other species common to the area. Flats and backcountry fishing can also include sight-fishing opportunities, steady family-friendly action, and flexible stops based on the conditions of the day.

Captain Chad provides the boat, fishing gear, licenses, bottled water, ice, and local knowledge needed for a serious Key West fishing experience without the feel of a high-volume charter operation. Guests should bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, food or snacks, preferred drinks, and any personal items needed for a full day outdoors.
