My name is Captain Sean Okeefe. I own and operate Key West Backwater Fishing. I have been fishing the backcountry and flats of the lower Florida keys for over 37 years and have been a full time guide for 30 years. I have the knowledge and patience to teach new anglers the techniques necessary to become a successful keys angler with either spin or fly fishing tackle. I also welcome the most experienced anglers for an enjoyable time on the water. My boat is a 17’ Skiff boat – perfect for two anglers. Powered by 115 HP Mercury Engine, this clean and safe vessel has livewell, casting platform, and poling platform. I also have all USCG Certified Safety Equipment: life jackets, fire extinguisher, and flares. I also have a First-Aid Kit and know CPR. The Florida Keys is known as the Fishing Capital of the World – and I have the experience to get you on the fish. When you book your Florida Keys fishing trip, your fishing experience will be spent stalking the shallows for Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit, Sharks, Barracuda and other species. Don’t worry about the time of the year, most species are available year round with a few exceptions. Included in your private Key West Charter includes all ...
