Your Florida Keys Adventure Specialists

For over 20 years, Trade Winds Adventure has been Key Largo's premier charter service for fishing, diving, and eco-tours. Founded by Captain Mike Rodriguez, a third-generation Keys native, we've built our reputation on safety, expertise, and unforgettable experiences.

Our fleet of modern, well-maintained vessels ranges from nimble 24-foot center consoles perfect for intimate groups, to our flagship 42-foot catamaran that can accommodate larger parties in comfort. All boats are equipped with the latest safety gear, GPS navigation, fish finders, and comfort amenities.

Our Coast Guard-licensed captains average over 15 years of experience in Keys waters. They're not just skilled operators—they're passionate educators who love sharing their knowledge of marine life, local history, and the unique ecosystem that makes the Florida Keys a world-class destination.

We're committed to sustainable tourism and work closely with marine conservation organizations to protect the reefs and wildlife that make our tours special. When you book with Trade Winds Adventure, you're supporting responsible ecotourism in the Florida Keys.
