40' Luhrs Sportfishing "Irish Cowboy" (1970)

Step aboard the Irish Cowboy, a 40-foot Luhrs sportfishing vessel offering a smooth offshore ride, cold A/C, and plenty of space for families and serious anglers. This private charter accommodates up to six guests and delivers comfort, capability, and versatility for your Key West fishing adventure. The Irish Cowboy was designed for longer days on the water, featuring a fully air-conditioned cabin to escape the Florida heat, comfortable lounge seating for relaxing between bites, a clean private restroom, and a wide stable platform ideal for offshore conditions. The twin diesel engines provide reliable power and a smooth, confident ride to the best fishing grounds in the Florida Keys. Why Choose the Irish Cowboy for Your Key West Fishing Trip? Our experienced captains know these waters intimately — from the reef systems just offshore to the deep blue Atlantic where trophy pelagics roam. Whether you're chasing mahi-mahi (dorado), blackfin tuna, wahoo, or the acrobatic sailfish, the Irish Cowboy puts you in position for success. Comfortable Offshore Fishing Experience Unlike smaller boats, the 40-foot Luhrs offers genuine comfort for extended trips. The air-conditioned cabin means everyone can cool off between fish, making this an excellent choice for families with children or guests who want a premium experience. The two 50-lb fighting chairs are tournament-grade, giving you the leverage needed to battle big game fish. What Makes Key West Fishing Special? Key West sits at the convergence of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, creating one of the most diverse fisheries in North America. The warm Gulf Stream current passes nearby, bringing nutrient-rich waters and migratory species year-round. From the shallow wrecks and reefs teeming with snapper and grouper to the deep offshore waters holding marlin and tuna, Key West offers something for every angler. Cowboy Fish: The Local Term for Saltwater Success When locals talk about "cowboy fish" in Key West, they're referring to the cowboy-style action you'll find offshore — fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping fishing where big fish hit hard and fight harder. The Irish Cowboy lives up to that reputation, built for the kind of sport fishing that makes Key West famous worldwide.
