Private Fort Lauderdale Inshore Fishing Charters

We had an amazing trip out with captain Chris. We were inundated with Snapper. We popped the line in, and 30 seconds later we had another 4. We probably caught about 21 each, and there were six of us! This was our third time and still a huge amount of fun. rebook next month again.

Great 4 hours of fishing with Captain Brett. five of us (family) in total were on the boat, and we caught over 25 Snook, yellowtail, jack crevalle, and Red Snapper. It was my first time fishing. Quite simple, but there is an art to it. Capatin gave a demo of how it should be done before we started. excellent value for each person, especially when you catch your own hand! Will try the deep-sea fishing when I'm next in FL... enjoy; it's great fun for all the family.

Our first-ever family fishing trip (Mum, Dad, and 2 teenagers...) was our best. Fort Lauderdale holiday outing! Captain Brett supplied everything we needed, gave us a lesson, and then found the fish. We caught beautiful snook. Can't recommend this charter enough. Thanks, Brett!

What a great 4 hours of fishing for Tarpon. We have just finished an awesome trip with captain nick. We caught so many Tarpon this morning and enjoyed the views of Fort Lauderdale at the same time. Thank you to nick for a great time. We will definitely do this again on our next visit.

We all had a great time on the fishing trip. The kids caught 18 fish (Jack Crevalle, red snapper, and Tarpon) between them and were very happy (we put one back). Captain Nick was friendly and helpful too. We’d definitely use them again. Thanks for a great trip. 😊

I booked a private charter Friday, 3rd July, with captain Brett for my mother birthday celebration at water. Brett was very helpful all the time, and he asked if there was a special area we preferred to go to. in the 4hr trip, we caught a lot of Snook also Red Snapper and Tarpon, . Thank you for making this a very memorable special day. Also great weather!

Captain Chris was very helpful and flexible and helped make our boat trip a highlight of our stay in Fort Lauderdale, and we are catching Snapper, Snook, yellowtail, Jack Crevalle and Red Snapper! I would highly recommend the experience, and we (2 adults and 3 children!!) will be doing it again.

We booked a trip with Nick and met early in the morning before heading out. After a short run, we got set up and the fishing picked up quickly. Every drop seemed to bring action, with snapper showing up early along with other species like barracuda and jack crevalle. At one point even wildlife showed interest in the catch which made things even more exciting. It was an incredible day and one we will not forget. Thanks Nick, hope to be back again soon.

We booked our 6hr trip with Captain Brett. It turned into a fun and exciting trip, and we always felt safe. We caught a lots of great fish including snapper also 23 Snook. Overall a great trip for our three friend.

I have been fishing here several times and each trip has been either a great 4 or 6 hour outing depending on what we booked. Over the years we have had both good and slow days when it comes to catches, but we have always had a fun time. On this trip the fish were a bit scarce, but Brett kept working different areas and really put in the effort to keep us on fish. That effort was appreciated. Some days you land a big number of fish like snapper and jack crevalle, and other days are slower, that is just how fishing goes. Thanks again Brett for another great trip.

We had another great day fishing with Chris as captain in Fort Lauderdale. Beautiful weather, calm seas, and lots of fish Highly recommended and cannot wait to go out again Chris guided a good fishing trip for all the family. Surely back in July for 6 hr

We did the 4-hour snapper fishing trip, and it was so great! Richard was super friendly and knowledgeable. Next time we would book the longer trip, as we enjoyed it so much.

Perfect trip, caught enough snapper for dinner, and had a great 4 hours out on the water. Can't recommend Richard enough. 👍

Fantastic trip on the boat fishing. We had caught Yllowtaeil & seen Shark around all week but certainly found them on the trip. Even the 12-year-old son got to catch tarpon fish.

My husband, 12-year-old daughter, and I went on our second fishing trip with Nick yesterday and were not expecting a fantastic snapper to start following our boat shortly after we set off and to follow us for the entire time! lots of snook fishing done at all ... what a magical experience. Thank you, Nick. A superb trip and wonderful memories were made. 😊

My 3 children (9, 11 & 13) and I came aboard for a new experience, and boy did we have great fun… The captain, Nick, was amazing and really looked after all on board, with great banter with everyone. My daughter (9) was the only person who caught a barracuda (6.7 lb), and her face was beaming with pride. We thoroughly enjoyed the drift fishing and caught all manner of fish. I would (and have) heartily recommend this trip to anyone.

Brett was great with my kids and made the challenging task of finding fish at this time of year great fun, with lots of barracuda catches and a great atmosphere on board. Fully recommended

Despite being a frequent visitor to Fort Lauderdale, I found myself searching the Internet to find a suitable fishing company to take us out for a family fishing trip. All of my e-mails were promptly answered and arrangements made. Captain Nick was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable of the area, fishing spots, etc. We had a great time and caught a reasonably sized snapper and yellowtail!! Will be booking again soon. Would thoroughly recommend.

We had a great trip with Captain Nick; we were 3 adults and 3 boys (aged 10 to 14), and we had a fantastic 4-hour outing on the water. Nick was amazing with the children and answered all our questions, and we caught about 30+ snappers, snooks, yellowtails, and jack crevalle. We could not have asked for a better time.

My husband and I live in Fort Lauderdale and usually go fishing for a day out on a couple of occasions each summer. We have taken a sightseeing boat trip before and were ready to do the same again; however, the boat was full, captain Nick had a few spare places and suggested we may like to try our hand at fishing. We spent a really lovely 4 hours on the boat with Nick helping all of us to catch snook; we did catch a lot, 17+ for us. Thanks, Nick, we shall be back again!

We went on the last trip out on friday morning time,, this was my lad's first trip out and he enjoyed every moment, especially pulling in a couple of Snapper. Richard is a great captain and kept us involved throughout the trip; no time to think about the choppy waves!!!! We'll be back and plan to bring more of the Family next time. Great memories are created on trips like this.

Honestly, it was like a private charter! captain Brett always taught us different fishing techniques and he made us feel like part of his family. He is an honest man and very funny and soft-hearted. And we caught 16 Yllowtaeil and 20+ Snapper. After years of holidaying in Fort Lauderdale, this was our first visit and we are already planning to return in July again, with another trip.

Had to write a review after booking a great Fishing trip .Nick was a very helpful captain. We caught a lot of Snapper, Red Snapper, Tarpon,. A truly brilliant morning and a big thank you to Nick for taking us out on his boat and taking care of us. We have already decided to visit Fort Lauderdale again and will definitely be giving this trip to take us out for another adventure.

Two Dads and three of our kids went off with Fort Lauderdale Fishing on the 1st of Feb. . captain Nick was with us for the full 4 hours, and he was mostly a great person. We caught well over 20+ of mixed Snapper, Snook, yellowtail, and Jack Crevalle mixed, and the kids loved watching them flip around in the buckets. More than enough for a very tasty supper for us all. It was an excellent time and the cost for 10 of us was very reasonable indeed. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

So glad we booked this trip for our stay in Fort Lauderdale! Prebooked in advance, and the emails ahead of the experience were really informative. Captain Nick and the crew onboard were very friendly. We were amazed to catch loads of snook, which was exciting! We saw a handful of sharks, but not many, as it was windy. Would definitely recommend; great value for money!

Good day fishing; caught 12+ decent-sized snapper, snook, and yellowtail. Nice guys (Captain Brett and all), and I will definitely go fishing with them again.

My son really enjoyed the fishing trip for barracuda. Lots of fish caught and a lovely friendly atmosphere. Will come again next season! Thanks, Captain Richard, for the wonderful 4 hours together!

Very family friendly; chilled out for six hours on the sea in perfect weather. Still good fun even for those who did catch red snapper good value for money and a great captain (Chris), who happily gutted the fish for us!

Great 6-hour fishing trip. We all had a great time and caught some nice big snapper. The trip was topped off by seeing Shark. Really recommend this trip. Captain Brett was very helpful.

We booked a 4-hour fishing trip online with this company before we went on holiday. I booked it predominantly for my husband, as I wasn’t that interested in fishing, but ended up having so much fun that after the trip we booked again for later in the week! Everyone was exceptionally friendly, and the captain, Nick, was really helpful and went out of his way to make sure everyone knew what they were doing and was having a good time. Despite it being early in the season, we caught fish on both trips. In summary, I would highly recommend going on a trip with this company. Whether you are a novice or expert, they cater to everyone, and you’re guaranteed to have fun!

Really great trip; caught 10+. Yellowtail fish kept 5 really friendly, helpful, and relaxed Captain Nick. Great price for 4 hours of fishing. Great trip. Will definitely rebook when back in the area.

To satisfy my 12-year-old's hunger for fishing, we decided to head out on a fishing trip. The boat was clean & the staff friendly. Comprehensive instructions were given, and as much support as necessary was offered to get started. The boat would relocate when fish weren't biting. Line tangles were dealt with efficiently, and my son, most importantly, got to catch his first barracuda. Many thanks to the captain, Nick, who made this a very pleasant experience.

Fab couple of 4 hours out fishing. We went as a whole family, from 7 to 58 years old! We all had a great time! Everyone caught at least one fish. A lot of thanks to Brett for an amazing time. Next time we will be booked for 8 hours, sure.

It was our son's tenth birthday. We were booked in on an expensive charter, but he cancelled the night before due to bad weather. He also said that it wasn't worth going for Shark... Boy, was he wrong! Instead we booked Fort Lauderdale Fishing and had a great day, caught loads of shark (everybody on the boat did), and while it was bumpy, the big, open-topped boat was just fine in the choppy water. Highly recommend for kids, but probably also great for just adults. At last, thank you so much, Captain Brett.

A really great yellowtail fishing trip. The captain of the boat was really friendly and helpful, especially with the kids. Such a beautiful afternoon, and we all caught fish too! An added bonus was that we saw a shark really close to the boat! A fantastic trip, and we thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon!

Had a six-hour fishing trip with Captain Brett is really awesome. Had to wait a few days, but well worth the wait. Caught shark, snapper, etc. Good equipment and plenty of it. Great helpful advice and probably the best money spent this holiday. One piece of advice is to book early before you go on holiday. Definitely booking a full day for next year. Thanks, Brett, for a great afternoon.

Knowledgeable captain who consistently lands us on the technique of fishing. Would strongly recommend to any anglers novice or experienced.

We had a fantastic fishing trip with Nick; we’re complete beginners, but they made everything straightforward & were quick to help when we got in a tangle. Caught loads of barracuda. Captains of old hands will already know how great sea fishing is, and if you’ve not done it before, do give it a try; you’ll have a fab time with Nick. He’ll look after you.

Had the most amazing day yesterday, thanks to Richard. What knowledgeable people they are, and great captains as well. A fantastic group of people made it a great day. The sea was flat calm, and the weather was just amazing. Angus (my brother) and I had a brilliant day catching four tope each. We are certainly hooked and will go again.

I took my dad and two sons out for an evening of fishing. Brett, the captain, could not have been more helpful or accommodating. We caught bull snook, yellowtail, and jack crevalle, which we returned to the sea. We caught loads of tarpon, which we used for bait, and took some home for BBQ. We had a good wrestle trying to land some of the fish. Thank you very much, Brett, for a really special memorable evening. We will be back as soon as we can. Name

My father and I were out today. Brett, the captain, what a fantastic guy so helpful and knows so much about the area. If you are planning a fishing trip, Fort Lauderdale is a must. Well worth the money and not too expensive. Already booked Next trip is in December, and this time it's surely 8 hours.

Bought a shark fishing trip as a birthday experience for my dad, husband, and sons. Captain Nick couldn’t have been more helpful with the booking. The boat was spotless and very well equipped, and Nick was really patient with our little group, most of whom had not fished before. In addition to a great catch, they also saw snapper, yellowtail, and jack crevalle too. Would highly recommend this experience & we’ll be back next time and book 8 hours. Thanks again, Nick.

Brilliant trip. Originally booked a yellowtail fishing trip, but the weather prevented it. Stayed in the red snapper fishing instead as an alternative and had a great time. Richard is a very friendly and knowledgeable captain. Highly recommended

This was our family’s first deep sea fishing trip, and it was an amazing experience! Brett our Captain was knowledgeable and super helpful throughout the entire trip. We caught a variety of fish ! Plus, we were able to bring a couple of fish home to enjoy. It was a wonderful time for all of us, and I’d highly recommend Fort Lauderdale Inshore Fishing Charters to anyone looking to charter a fishing boat. We'll definitely be back for another adventure!

Brett was friendly and super knowledgeable. We had an awesome time! He patiently answered all my 10-year-old son’s questions and spent most of the morning chatting with him about fishing. He also kept my daughter entertained and involved, so she really enjoyed the trip too. We caught around 25-35 fish across six different species. I highly recommend this charter for families with young kids!

Booked with Capt Dave Rhoden because he had a pontoon boat that would accommodate the 5 of us. Couldn't made a better choice. Originally scheduled back to back trips but Mother Nature wouldn't cooperate. Caught lots of fish and watched the alligators swimming nearby. He had very good equipment to fish with and his pontoon boat made it easy to walk around. If I'm ever back in these parts - will defiantly book with him again. Great Guy!

You messed up charter did not coincide with confirmation had to work it out with captain poor servace verry high price

Worst fishing ever, scheduled "Inshore" trip and was it ever... we trolled twice down the canal directly across from our departure point then anchored beside a large yacht and bottom fished. Would have had more fun and success bobber fishing for bream in a pond!

Fishing with Captain Brian on his 22' Pathfinder was great. There were 3 of us fishing with Captain Brian and he hooked us up with fish and gave us a great background of the area. I highly recommend Captain Brian. Don't forget your camera........we will definitely book with Captain Brian on our next trip to Ft Lauderdale area......Thank you for a great trip....Lee, Cara, Aaron
