Fishing has been good but the high winds have kept us mostly inshore. Inshore the sea trout, spanish mackerel and snapper bite has been good. When we've been able to get off shore kingfish and bonitas have kept us busy. The sailfish are here and the bite will continue to...

Fantastic experience with Ricky, and it didn’t hurt that we caught 30 plus fish (five different species) in four hours!

Bryan is a great Captain! We had an awesome time

Trip: Special Midweek 5hr Big Game Trip
★★★★★
We had a wonderful fishing trip with Bryan. He was very knowledgeable and helped us immensely since we had little to no experience offshore fishing. We could feel that he cared about us catching a fish and that he was trying to fulfill. In the end, we caught 3 fish - 2 rainbow runners and 1 mutton snapper and lost 3 fish. We are super happy.

Trip: Iguana Hunt
★★★★★
We highly recommend using Capt. Will! Unfortunately the fish weren’t biting much, but Capt. Will and his First Mate made it a fun trip nonetheless. Great boat, plenty of room, bathroom, A/C, etc. We would definitely rebook with them!

Trip: Fort Lauderdale Offshore
★★★★★
We came down for a bachelor trip, and Charlie made it unforgettable! He’s an incredible guide — hands down the best in the Fort Lauderdale area for iguana hunts. There’s no comparison; Charlie’s knowledge, energy, and hospitality put him miles ahead of anyone else, including the Python Cowboy. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
