About
The 58-foot multi passenger fishing vessel that’s inspected twice a year by the US Coast Guard, motors up to 60 passengers swiftly out to deep-sea fishing spots thanks to twin Detroit 8v92 turbo engines. Once anchored, the ship’s amenities—which range from men’s and women’s restrooms to a galley serving snacks & beverages —keep anglers comfortable between stops. Our friendly Captains and mates will assist first-time fisherman and even seasoned professionals make the most of their fishing experience. Not sure you know how to do it? Let our experienced crew show you every step of the way. Successful fishing starts with a knowledgeable crew. We have the longest head boat trip on the island for the same prices as some of the shorter trips.

If you want to experience ocean fishing in a budget then Gulfstream Fishing is your best bet! You are sure to catch fish and enjoy an awesome boat ride. The only deckhand Johnny was extremely helpful and managed to assist the 32 people on board. It was an awesome experience.

We absolutely loved our fishing day with the Gulfstream crew! DJ was so helpful & friendly and really helped my family and me have an awesome experience.
We caught a good amount of fish, and he cleaned them for us afterwards and recommended a good restaurant to take them to to have them cooked. SO much fun! We definitely recommend Gulfstream Fishing if you're looking for an awesome fishing experience while in Key West!

My husband booked this trip for us, and we both had a great time! Starting from the beginning, this is the first time I’ve been on a boat that had a safety talk and I appreciated that. Good info. The fishing was great. The captain brought us to a great place for Lane Snapper. We kept 14 and threw the rest back. We certainly kept DJ and Ethan busy! They were great mates who always had a smile on their face and looked liked they loved fishing! It was so nice meeting them.
There is are bathrooms and snacks and drinks on board, but your also allowed to bring a small cooler of food and drinks if you want. Great experience and we will book again with them when we come back!

We were expecting a deep sea fishing experience. We have fished before in ponds/lakes but never in the ocean. The boat was at 50% capacity for the Covid and we were told our temperatures would be taken prior getting on the boat, this did not happen as it did for other tours we did.
There was only one “mate” working for 25 people and he was running his butt off to take care of everyone. Sometimes had to wait for him. We were expecting to catch large fish: grouper, snapper, yellow tail, cobia and etc. No one on the entire trip caught anything very large and out of 25 people maybe 30 fish caught, all of smaller size.
Once we got to the end where we needed to have the fish split up and then cut, fish were mismatched and some people thought they were missing fish and we had 2 missing.
Overall for the price, it makes more sense to pay for a private party boat to have the best experience. This trip was booked by our concierge at our hotel.

I've been on this party boat several times over the past 3 years and it is always a great time. The crew is experienced and knowledgeable and extremely helpful. We always catch dinner, but this last trip on New Year's Day was outstanding. Captain Dave took us to several different spots where the entire boat caught fish non-stop. My family of 6 caught over 20 keeper yellowtails. The mate, Jeremy, was running around the entire trip helping everyone and loving every minute of it. Jeremy also took extra time with the younger kids on board to make sure they were catching fish and having fun. The crew gets so excited seeing their boat catch fish and having a great time is their top priority. A few people got their reels tangled up every now and then and the crew was there to help them without a complaint. The Galley Girl, Angela, (who's also a captain) not only cooks up some of the best food that you'll find on a fishing trip, but also comes out on the deck to help out the crew when it gets busy.
This trip is always a great time and a must do for me every time I visit Key West.

A beautiful day fishing. Plenty of fish caught by all. I highly recommend.
A great boat ride out. Nice boat with plenty of room for a party boat. Moved around a few times if things got slow but we hit something in every spot.
Good food in the galley. I recommend the cheeseburger. Very helpful crew. Always around and ready to help and identify the fish. Someone on our boat caught a near record triggerfish too.
Great day. We’ll be back again.

Awesome trip on a perfect day! Capt tried to get us on the reef with big fish, only a few hooked up. Moved a couple times, got into the smaller yellowtails & snappers. Some guys were banging then (hook up every 3 minutes, but my st too small) Still, lots of fun!

Trip was unorganized and mismanaged. Entire crew didn’t care if we caught fish. Just a boat trip. No announcement of what to do was given. People were making mistakes and blamed by the crew for getting lines stuck on the bottom, losing fish and putting toilet paper in the toilet. Fishing was slow. My best photo opportunity included a fish the size of a small bass. This was the size of most everyone’s fish. This company did not follow through on the promises on its website.

This was a last minute decision & one of the best we made on this trip to Key West. For such a low price, our expectations were low. This crew proved us wrong! The deck hands were wonderful, especially Ethan! Thanks Gulfstream, we'll be back

Well worth the money. Don't let the number of passengers scare you. Met some new friends, shared laughs, and caught a lot of keepers. Fish fry tonight. DJ was patient, helpful, and busy. Not just a one stop excursion, multiple hot spots. Angela provided great food on board.

We have 12 people including 6 kids, youngest one is 5. Is the boat big enough for us all?

I heard that some guy got really drunk, peed all over the boat, then exposed himself to children. Would you say that being arrested for such offense would make someone purposely write a bad review and blame your company and the crew?
