About Your Trip

Experience Unrivaled Power, Technology, and Fishing Action!

Prepare for an unforgettable fishing adventure aboard the legendary Oceanmaster 37, the rock-solid foundation for your ultimate charter experience! This boat boasts a booming stereo system to set the mood, state-of-the-art electronics to pinpoint the fish, and a formidable 600 Horsepower from its 2022 motors! Get ready for the best holeshot to get you to the fishing grounds fast, the loudest music to keep the energy high, the freshest electronics for optimal fish-finding, and ultimately, the best fishing action South Florida has to offer!

Unmatched Power and Safety: Experience true 37 feet of fishing performance! Our dual 300 horsepower outboards combined with fly-by-wire controls deliver lightning-fast acceleration and impressive top-end speed. Your safety is our priority, and we're equipped with a full complement of Coast Guard safety equipment, including life jackets, VHF radio, and more.

Ready to Fish, Inside and Out: This vessel is a fishing machine! Featuring radar to navigate with precision, a second-level Tuna Tower for spotting fish from above, and smooth-top gunwales for comfortable angling, our boat is designed for both serious fishing and pure enjoyment. Enjoy 360 degrees of fishing freedom around the deck! The addition of a powerful 1000 watt Garmin sounder leaves the fish with nowhere to hide.

Charter Options Tailored to Your Adventure:

4 Hour Charter - Maximum Action, Minimum Time: In the productive waters off South Florida, the fishing grounds are remarkably close – often just one mile from the beach! You never know what exciting species you might encounter nearshore. Our most popular option, the 4-hour charter, gets you fishing within 30 minutes of leaving the dock, maximizing your time on the water.

6 Hour Charter - The Perfect Balance: Looking for a bit more time to explore the fishing grounds? Our 6-hour charter offers the ideal compromise between a half-day and a full-day excursion. Target a wider range of species, including Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Kingfish, Snapper, Tilefish, Bonito, Sailfish, Wahoo, Tuna, and exciting Game Sharks, among others.

8 Hour Charter - The Full Day Experience: Maximize your fishing potential with our full-day 8-hour charter aboard our 37' Ocean Master. With the extra time, you'll have the opportunity to target an even greater variety of prized fish, such as Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Swordfish, Kingfish, Bonito, Sailfish, Wahoo, Tuna, Barrelfish, Tilefish, and various Game Sharks. Get the most "bang for your buck" with this comprehensive fishing adventure!

10-Hour Swordfish Fishing Charter - The Gladiator of the Sea: Embark on a specialized adventure targeting the magnificent Swordfish, also known as the "Gladiator of the Sea" – one of the most elusive and highly sought-after fish in South Florida. Our dedicated night trips utilize techniques such as drifting squid, mackerel, or live bait in depths ranging from 1100ft to 1600ft, focusing on the upper water column between 100ft and 400ft. We use glow sticks to attract these nocturnal predators to your bait. The average Swordfish weighs around 80lbs, with some truly impressive specimens exceeding 300 lbs!
