About Your Trip

Shark fishing off Miami is in a category of its own, and Captain Franco's luxury shark charter takes it further than any standard operation in South Florida. Running out of Miami into prime shark waters within 30 to 45 minutes of departure, this four to eight hour trip puts you head to head with some of the ocean's most powerful apex predators aboard a vessel built for both serious fishing and genuine comfort.

The target list reads like a checklist of the Gulf Stream's most formidable sharks: hammerhead, bull, tiger, lemon, blacktip, and nurse sharks are all in play depending on the season. Captain Franco's crew deploys proven big-game techniques throughout the trip, including heavy-duty live baiting, chumming, drift fishing, and kite setups, all designed to draw apex predators into range and give you the best possible shot at a serious encounter. Fights can run anywhere from 30 minutes to well over two hours depending on the size and species of shark, delivering a physical and technical challenge that tests strength, endurance, and skill in equal measure.

A professional licensed captain and mate handle all the heavy gear, rigging, and technique throughout the trip, so your focus stays on the fight rather than the setup. Custom tournament-grade tackle and the highest quality gear are standard on every trip, matched to the kind of sharks you're targeting and the conditions on the water that day.

Evening and night trips are available for those who want to fish when shark activity tends to intensify after dark, adding a different dimension to an already exceptional experience. Trips can also be customized to combine shark fishing with big game targets like sailfish and mahi-mahi, or built around a mix of fishing and leisure depending on what your group wants out of the day.

The vessel is outfitted with luxury amenities that set it apart from any other shark charter in South Florida: an air-conditioned cabin, full restroom, shaded cockpit, and a premium sound system are standard, with optional upgrades including private chef service, curated drinks, and professional photography and videography packages available to round out the experience. For those looking for an extra adrenaline rush, Ocean Skeet Shooting is available as a one-hour add-on, an exclusive offering unavailable anywhere else in South Florida and a natural complement to a day built around pushing the limits of what a fishing charter can be.

Captain Franco and his crew bring a concierge-level approach to every detail, designing each trip around the preferences and goals of whoever is on board.

Book your luxury shark fishing charter with Captain Franco out of Miami and experience what happens when world-class big-game fishing meets five-star service on the open water.
