4-Hour 3rd Degree Charters Key West

Step aboard 3rd Degree Charters with Captain Paulie Marchan III, a fifth-generation Conch and experienced Key West guide, for a private 4-hour charter built around light tackle fishing, backcountry exploring, sandbars, shelling, or custom island time. This half-day trip is a strong fit for families, couples, and small groups who want a relaxed local experience without committing to a full day on the water.

Trips commonly depart from Hurricane Hole Marina at 5130 Overseas Highway, with Sigsbee Marina also available when appropriate. Sigsbee pickup requires military base access, so guests should confirm the departure point before arrival.

Fishing and lobster trips are designed for up to 4 guests, while other custom excursions may accommodate up to 6 guests. Captain Paulie provides local knowledge, fishing equipment, safety gear, and a laid-back Key West approach that works well for both first-time anglers and experienced visitors.

The charter runs aboard a 28-foot SeaVee center console with twin Mercury engines, GPS and depth finder capability, VHF radio, comfortable seating, SeaDek flooring, a T-top for limited shade, and Bluetooth stereo. Guests should bring sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, towels, drinks, and snacks. For snorkeling-style trips, bring your own mask, snorkel, and fins or ask about rental options during the booking process.
