Key Flat Charters Policy
A booking with Key Flat Charters is a booking with Capt. Luke Kelly. Time spent on the water is based on a complete fishing experience, rather than a strict hourly rule. Future bookings follow a first come, first serve basis. Rates are for a maximum of two adult anglers. Kids or smaller adults are the exception for a third angler, it’s a 17 ft flats boat. 

Booking / Reservations
Reservations made between February and July require a $50 deposit via check or money order by mail. This guarantees your day or days on the water. Any unforeseen events or weather eliminating the chance for charter will result in a full refund of any deposit. Charter cancelation from the customer’s behalf must be made 2 weeks in advance to receive deposit refund.
Returning clients need not a deposit.

If total convenience is desired from your Keys fishing trip, I can pick you up and drop you off at any of these fine waterfront locations. The Sugarloaf Marina is where I prefer to depart from (best fishing, less run-time). It is located on Overseas Highway, mile marker 17, Gulf-side.
