Wrecked Charters was built on a simple idea: the best charter experience comes from people who actually live here. We're not a booking platform or a corporate fleet — we're local captains who spend more time on the water than off it.
We know where the fish are holding at different times of year. We know the sandbars that don't show up on tourist maps. We know which reefs produce the biggest hogfish and where the dolphins hang out on a calm morning.
Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time on a boat, we'll take care of you. Our goal is simple: put you on fish, show you a great time, and send you home with stories worth telling.
Local guides who live and breathe Key West, Florida waters
We fish these waters year-round. When you're on our boat, you're getting the knowledge that only comes from years of living and working in Key West, Florida — not a script from a booking manual.
Every charter is different. We listen to what you want — species you're after, type of adventure, experience level — and we build the trip around that. This is your time on the water.
We run a tight, well-maintained vessel with all required safety equipment on board. You focus on having fun — we handle everything else. Kids, beginners, and non-swimmers are always welcome.
Born and raised in Key West, Florida, Austin has spent his entire life on these waters. He started Wrecked Charters to share his passion for the ocean and give guests an authentic Key West experience on the water—a true local offering a genuine local perspective and creating a trip to remember. With over 30 years of local experience, Austin has been spearfishing and fishing the waters off Key West for as long as he can remember.
Powell assists with spearfishing and diving operations and has spent years pursuing fish along the reefs and shipwrecks off Key West. He’s also well-versed in the commercial side of lobstering and spearfishing, and he’s proficient in the water—spotting the right fish and lobsters, helping load spearguns, and ensuring everyone stays safe. If you want to learn to freedive or try a speargun for the first time, we’ll help you get there.
