Your Fort Lauderdale Reef Fishing Charter starts off with a 10-12min cruise out to the inlet, passing through "Millionares Row", where you'll see some of the most extravagant houses and yachts in the world. The mates will come around and get everyone baited and hooked up with gear and offer advice on how to get bites. We'll usually have time to fish a few different spots (wrecks, reefs, different depths & zones). When it's time to come in, we'll return through the inlet where you'll have a chance to take some pictures with the fish. Upon return to the dock the mates bring all the fish to the cleaning table where they will do free fish cleaning and recommend some good restaurants that will cook your fish for you. This is a great trip to go out and try some deep sea fishing, enjoy beautiful views of the coast and have some luck catching some good eating fish. You will be fishing for snapper, grouper, grunts, porgies and other small game fish.

This fishing trip was awesome! The staff was very friendly, helpful, and easy-going. My husband unfortunately got sea sick for most of the trip, but our fishing guide, Josh, was really nice and kept checking in to make sure he was doing okay. All in all I’d say the price point is right and the trip was exactly what we expected. I’d definitely recommend it.

The water was really choppy, but the experience was amazing. Jack the mate was amazing and was a joy to talk too. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He alone made the experience much more enjoyable. I'll be back forsure. He told us he recently got his capitan license and I hope he names his boat in the future the Sparrow because capitan Jack of the Sparrow would be a great selling point!

The condition were terrible and the majority of the boat was very seasick the entire time - but the attention and kindness of the crew was not lost on us. They were super helpful and made the experience as enjoyable as possible. They can’t control the weather obviously - but I would recommend going out with them for a fishing excursion.

a lot of people on the boat ,53 (average is 20-30)
no drift fishing as announced on web site , anchored fishing. bad fishing day but that is not the captains fault.
Locals fishing on back on boat with different lure and own material, supported by "private deckhand" catching more fish. Thanks to our hard working deck hand.

The ocean was ruff, we were advised and the crew Ace and Chelsea ( her first day) were very attentive and constantly helping any way they could. Fishing was OK what we did catch and kept was delicious. Ace was from Jamaica served in our US Navy and is a first class guy. Very knowledgeable. I would do this again with better sea conditions.

The captain and helpers were not very friendly and easily annoyed by people needing help. Two of the 4 of us were extremely sick along with many others on the trip, but too be expected. There weren't many "keepable" fish. As the trip was ending and we were headed back to shore, the captain kept announcing how they work for tips, how much to tip divided by number of crew on the ship, all the forms of payment they accept, oh and again how they work for tips. Went on his tip spiel multiple times through the last 15 min or so of the trip, it was sort of rude, tbh.

The view at night was beautiful!!!! Not as many people on boat. Got in later but well worth it. They will fillet any fish for you but where to cook I wasn’t able to find.
