About Your Trip

Step aboard with Captain Branden and get ready for an epic day on the water—whether you're cruising the calm inshore channels or heading offshore in search of big-game action. Based out of Miami, this trip is your ticket to some of South Florida’s most productive fishing grounds, and it’s built for anglers of all skill levels. From beginners and families to seasoned pros chasing their next trophy, Captain Branden has you covered.

Your ride for
the day is a 24’ Mako Side Console, powered by a dependable Mercury outboard. Built for versatility, this boat handles everything from shallow inshore flats to offshore runs with ease. It’s outfitted with GPS/fishfinder technology, live wells for fresh bait, and plenty of casting space. The deck layout is open and functional, with comfortable seating and a private cabin with a bathroom—perfect for longer charters or family-friendly trips.

Depending on the season and your chosen adventure, you could be targeting a wide variety of species. Inshore trips often hook into hard-fighting Jack Crevalle and Mangrove Snapper, while nearshore waters produce Kingfish, Barracuda, Mutton Snapper, and Grouper. For those venturing farther out, the offshore bite can include Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, and even the occasional Goliath Grouper.

Trips range from quick 4-hour outings to full 8-hour offshore excursions. Half-day trips are perfect for those looking for fast action without committing the whole day. The 6-hour option gives you more time to chase bigger fish or explore different zones, while the full-day trip is designed for serious anglers ready to cover more ground and maximize every opportunity.

All tackle, rods, reels, bait, and licenses are provided, and Captain Branden will clean and fillet your catch at the dock. There's also a Bluetooth music system onboard—so feel free to bring your favorite playlist—as well as a cooler with bottled water and ice to keep you refreshed throughout the day. You’re welcome to bring your own drinks (21+ only) and snacks, and there's even a grill available onboard if you want to add a cookout to the mix.

Captain Branden’s charters are known for being laid-back, fun, and focused on delivering a personalized experience. He’s especially great with kids and beginners, taking the time to walk through techniques and make sure everyone feels confident and involved. Whether it’s your first time holding a rod or you're chasing a new personal best, you’ll be in good hands from start to finish.

Bring sun-protective clothing, a hat, sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen, and a towel or change of clothes if you want to stay dry. A small cooler is recommended if you plan to take fish home.

At the end of the day, it’s not just about what you catch—it’s about the thrill of the chase, the sea breeze in your face, and those unforgettable moments when the rod bends and the reel starts to sing. From the skyline views to the tight lines, this is Miami fishing at its best. Let’s make it happen.
