Try going to yahoo and searching fair field escapes. They have some pretty cheap vacation packages on there. The only catch is that you have to sit for 120 min and some are 90 min lectures about time share.

Check "Florida Sporstman Magazine". They have "world renowned" trips leaving from Miami-Keys.

On average, expect to pay $125-150 per person, per day,(if going for Black/White Marlin, Kingfish, Wahoo, Mahi). If your "bottom-fishing", (grouper, snapper, bee-liners, ETC), expect to pay less(party boats can be as low as $35-40 per person, per day).

There are numerous Charter's for hire. If you do "charter" a boat ask them question's like:

Do I have to clean my own fish?
If we don't catch "ANYTHING" do I get my money back?
How long have you had your "captain's license"?
Do I need to bring my own lunch?

My suggestion is to "pick wisely" who you decide to "charter". It can mean the difference between, an "OK time" and a "GREAT TIME".
