Key West and the Florida Keys are well known as the fishing capital of the world and hold more world records than anywhere else.  We have been charter fishing the waters off of the lower Florida Keys since 1965 (50 years) and have been the winner of many fishing tournaments. Fishing is a family tradition for the Baumgarten family. Hans Baumgarten started Cowboy Charters in 1965 and his son and grandson have carried on and expanded the family tradition. 

You will experience  both friendly and professional crew on the well appointed 36 FT  & 45 ft Hatteras yachts" with twin diesels, when you join Mark Baumgarten and crew for a day of sport fishing. Mark has been fishing professionally for over 40 years and has been consistently able to find that trophy fish for his customers.
