What to Wear / Bring


The Florida Keys are very tropical where the average temperature is 84°F degrees during the day and 75°F at night. Dress is informal so bring light comfortable clothing.

Consider packing the following:

  • Boat shoes or sneakers
  • Light jacket or sweater for cool morning or evening
  • Light long-sleeved shirt and pants for protection from the sun
  • Wide brimmed hat for protection from the sun
  • Sunscreen and lip screen (start with SPF 15 or higher)
  • Insect repellent (we recommend OFF spray with the orange cap)
  • Lightweight rain gear for those tropical showers (a must June – December)
  • Camera, batteries and film
  • Small waterproof bag for carrying extra gear
  • Polarized sunglasses for spotting the fish (amber color)
  • Reef waders for stalking bonefish on the flats
  • Fisherman’s pliers, clipper and cleaner
  • Personal Medications
  • A pair of binoculars for spotting birds
  • Lunch and Drinks
