Another advantage of this boat is that it offers 360 degree fishability so you won't lose fish under the boat. You'll feel "closer" to the water, which is great if you don't mind getting splashed, but not great for those who are prone to seasickness. | |

This boat is kept on a trailer and therefore can be launched at different fishing locations both in freshwater, saltwater, and the Florida Everglades. |

Featured Fishing Boats in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale Sportfish Charters
Most people prefer our standard deep sea fishing trips aboard a traditional style sportfish. Our sportfish maximize space and comfort. There's plenty of room for everyone to fish or relax and there's air conditioned inside space if you or others in your group want to get out of the sun. Our Fort Lauderdale sportfish boats have spacious bathrooms (heads) with electric flush toilets, which is particularly popular among female anglers.
Fort Lauderdale Center Console Fishing Charter
But, if you're the type who likes being ... well immersed ... one of our center console Fort Lauderdale Fishing trips might be right for you. You know how Sea World has the "blue zone" (the area where you get splashed)? That's how we like to describe the experience on a center console versus one of our regular sportfish.
On a center console fishing charter in Fort Lauderdale you'll feel even closer to the ocean. You'll almost certainly get sprayed and come back with a salty briny taste in your mouth. Center consoles tend to rock quite a bit more than a standard sportfish and are generally not well suited for those who get seasick. The upside, you'll be fishing like a Floridian! You'll be cruising fast, and you're sure to get your adrenaline fix.

Captain Mike
USCG Licensed Captain
Captain Mike is a Florida fishing legend. He grew up in South Florida and has fished almost every day for over 30 years. He is a third generation fisherman and prior to offering charters aboard his boat, he was an accomplished competitor in fishing tournaments throughout Florida, Costa Rica, Mexico and the Bahamas. One thing guests especially love about Mike (besides his fishing knowledge) is his patience and sense of humor. He is as comfortable fishing "hard" with experienced anglers as he is showing the ropes to novice and young anglers.
Mike likes to hunt all of the saltwater "monsters" including sailfish, swordfish, grouper, sharks, and yellowfin tuna. He is an expert at targeting specific fish and has a huge arsenal of fishing gear for kite fishing, dredge fishing, bottom and wreck fishing and more. Just let him know what you're looking to catch and he'll go after it
