About Your Trip

The Original Good Hit is recommended for groups up to 4 people. If you have a larger group you might feel a bit cramped while fishing and we highly recommend reserving a trip on the Good Hit 2.0 or the Good Hit 3.0 which are larger and more spacious.

4 Hour Charter- In South Florida our fishing grounds are only One Mile off of the beach, so you never know what you are going to catch near shore. This is always why our 4 Hour Charter is the most Popular, we are fishing within 30 minutes from leaving the dock.

6 Hour Charter- For those looking for a little more time on the water, the 6 hour charter is the perfect compromise between a half day and a full day charter! Fish for Dolphin, Kingfish, Snapper, Tilefish, Bonito, Sailfish, Wahoo, Tuna, Game Sharks and more.

8 Hour Charter- Full Day" Charter on the Good Hit – 32′ Ocean Master. Fish for Dolphin, Swordfish, Kingfish, Bonita, Sailfish, Wahoo, Tuna, Dolphin, Barrelfish, Tilefish, Game Sharks and more and get the most bang for your buck with out 8-hour full day charters!

Swordfish Charter on Our Flagship: The Original ‘Good Hit’ – 32′ Ocean Master
10 Hour Swordfish Charter- Swordfish, also called the Gladiator of the Sea, is one of the most elusive and sought after fish that is to be found in the South Florida. On Night Trips we use squid, mackerel, or any sort of live bait. Normally fishing in 1100ft-1600ft of water, fishing the upper water column. Deploying the bait to depths of 100ft-400ft. Using glow sticks to give light to your bait. The average weight on swordfish is around 80lbs, with some swordfish exceeding 300 lbs.
