Step aboard with Captain William for a South Florida fishing trip fueled by experience, grit, and a serious love for the water. Born and raised on Long Island, he got his start running launches and fixing boats at a local marina—and quickly worked his way up to chasing big game on multi-million-dollar sportfishing yachts. From Tuna and Mahi to Swordfish and Sharks, William has fished it all.

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!

Robert,

Thank you so much for fishing with us! It was such a pleasure having you and your crew on the boat.

While the fish don't always cooperate, we will always try our hardest to catch fish for our clients and provide them with the best charter possible. Despite the challenging conditions, we're so glad you guys got to catch a few different species of fish, including that nice Barracuda. We're so glad that you would book with us again; we certainly can't wait to have you back onboard soon!

Tight lines,
Capt. Will
