Lobstering/ Spearfishing

About

Islamorada, Florida is known worldwide for its incredible fishing and diving opportunities, and its clear waters make it an ideal location for both spearfishing and lobstering.

This trip combines the thrill of hunting fish with the fun and accessibility of catching lobster. You’ll explore reef and patch reef areas where divers can target fish while also searching for lobster in ledges, rocks, and shallow structures.

The trip will be conducted using scuba diving, allowing divers to reach deeper ledges and structures where both fish and lobster are more abundant. Lobstering is a fun and approachable activity, while spearfishing adds an exciting challenge for those looking to actively hunt underwater.

Whether you're looking for the challenge of spearfishing or the hands-on experience of catching lobster, this trip offers a unique and memorable day on the water.

Trip Details

This charter is designed for small groups and can accommodate up to six passengers on the boat, with up to four divers in the water at one time.

The captain will take you to a mix of reef and shallow water locations depending on conditions, giving you the opportunity to both spearfish and lobster.

The trip includes a private boat, captain, in-water guidance, fishing license, spearfishing and lobstering equipment, and basic refreshments. Your catch can be cleaned and prepared at the end of the trip.

Lobstering is typically done in shallower water (around 10–30 feet), while spearfishing may take place on reef structures depending on conditions and experience level.
