About Your Trip

If you’re curious about day-to-day sport-fishing and interested in learning a couple of its strategies, the 4-hour trip is perfect! In a span of only 4 hours, we will fish for smaller species that migrate inland depending on the season and currents. We will cruise the coast of Southern Florida looking for any giveaway into an underwater ecosystem. Mahi, Tuna, Snapper, and Grouper make themselves at home underneath piles of seaweed, or driftwood.

Looking to Catch Dinner? Our mate would be happy to clean and filet your best catch of the day in honor of sharing our favorite tradition, “Catch to Cook.” Perfect for a family fishing trip. We understand kids don’t like to sit around for too long. Species to be caught: Snapper, Grouper, and more.

About Your Guide

Richard F.

Independent Guide

Founded in 2022 by long time Buffalo fisherman Bill and Captain Richard. Bill had fished with Captain Richard for over 20 years when he decided it was time to own his own boat and make his longtime friend and fishing guide his partner. Captain Richard grew up in South Florida the son of a world class fisherman himself.

Captain Richard has traveled the seas for 35 years on many a fishing vessel honing his skills. His many catches and the stories that come with them are part of the experience you can expect aboard his 39 foot Yellowfin center console fully equipped with brand new, top of the line, tournament fishing equipment. She is prepared to catch any species of fish that comes her way. Please see the photo gallery for pictures and more detail.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

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.
