Is The Price Of The Charter For Each Person Or For The Whole Group?
It depends on the type of the charter you are looking to book.
Our nearshore, offshore, and deep sea charter fishing rates listed here are for 3 anglers, additional $50 per extra angler (4 Max). But, if needed we will gladly arrange additional boats for more than 4 anglers.
If you are considering a deep sea fishing charter on our 32ft Blackfin sport fishing boat, the price listed is for 1-6 people.
All of our charters are private, which means that you and your friends/family will be the only people on the boat enjoying the fishing trip, accompanied by our experienced captains, of course.
How Far In Advance Should I Make A Reservation?
We encourage you to book your next adventure with us as early as possible.

Do You Guarantee That We Will Catch Fish?
We always strive to do our best, and guarantee that you will have a great time out on the water with us. However, we cannot promise that fish will always be biting. But, we can assure you that our captains have years of fishing experience, and if we don’t catch fish that means that no one else is having luck catching anything that day either.
But don’t take our word for it, check out our reviews on Google and TripAdvisor.
Can We Bring Our Kids On The Fishing Trip?
Absolutely! All of our fishing charters are family friendly, and kids love exploring the ocean, as well as calm waters of the Florida’s beautiful lagoons. Our fishing trips are a great adventure for anglers of any age or experience level!
What Charter Should I Choose If We Have Young Children?
It depends on how you are looking to spend a day on the water. Unfortunately, when the ocean is rough, you and your children might experience motion sickness, which might ruin the joy of the trip. Thus, an inshore fishing charter might be the best option during big waves. Your kids will be able to catch different types of fun and exciting fish while cruising through beautiful mangroves and watching herons, dolphins, stingrays, and manatees in their habitats.
Another great option for kids is shark fishing charters as the distance to the fishing grounds is quite a short trip. It’s an action-packed charter that will provide a lifetime memory for the whole family.
