About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Mark to Troll the deep blue sea for Wahoo, Dolphin, Sailfish, Tuna and much more! With over 29 years of experience fishing the waters from Fort Lauderdale to the Exumas, Captain Mark knows the best techniques for trolling for these offshore species.

On the day of your trip, you will meet up with Captain Mark at the Winn-Dixie on Cordova Rd. Meeting at the Winn-Dixie allows you to collect some last minute Snacks and Drinks, Ice, and whatever else you think you might need in preparation for you trip. Captain Mark docks his boat behind one of his friends houses nearby so you can either hop in his truck or follow him in your own car to boat!

You'll be aboard a luxurious 37' Egg Harbour Sportfishing vessel equipped with all the latest electronics and navigation systems. It also provides a comfortable Cabin with seating and air conditioning so you can easily escape the relentless South Florida heat. On that vein, your more than welcome to get as involved as you would like with your adventure as you'd like. Whether you'd rather lounge in the AC until the reel starts screaming or if you want your hand on the rod the whole time, Captain Mark can make it happen!

And if you'd rather cruise the inner-coastal, hang out at the sand bar, or go snorkeling at a near by reef, Captain Mark offers those trips as well for the same prices listed above!

Beyond superior service and luxurious amenities, Captain Mark also provides the best rods, reels, tackle, bait, and fishing licenses you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water. The only things Captian Mark recommends you bring before meeting up at the Winn-Dixie is your sun protection and sunglasses, a rain coat/change of clothes, and a camera to document your trophies!

Everything Else to Know

1. Your food and drink, and some for the crew. 2. Change of clothes and a rain jacket. You can always take it off and put them in the cabin. 3. Sunglasses (preferably polarized) sunscreen and hat. 4. Closed front and back, soft soled shoes (white bottom preferred) for traction. 5. Flip flops not a good idea. 6. A cooler to bring your filets home with you. 7. A camera, GoPro, or media recording device for recording your catch! 8. Any important medications you may need throughout the day. 9. Seasickness: if you do not have a prescription, we recommend taking Dramamine prior to your charter. 10. A calendar to tell us when you want to come back next time to enjoy Ft. Lauderdale sportfishing!.

You're all set! You don't need to buy a license for this trip.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
