Reel in Big Game on Fort Lauderdale's Best Charter
Ready to chase some serious fish in the deep blue? This 6-hour private charter out of Fort Lauderdale is your ticket to hooking into some of the most exciting game fish the Atlantic has to offer. We're talking sailfish, blackfin tuna, wahoo, kingfish, and barracuda - the kind of catches that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, our crew at Never Enough Sport Fishing knows these waters like the back of their hand and will put you on the fish.
What to Expect on the Water
As soon as we clear the inlet, it's game on. We'll run offshore to where the big boys play, typically 3-5 miles out where the Gulf Stream brings in the pelagics. The beauty of this trip is the mix - one minute you might be battling a hard-fighting kingfish, the next you could be watching a sailfish light up and dance across the surface. We provide all the gear, from the rods and reels to the bait and licenses, so all you need to bring is your game face and maybe a snack or two. With 6 hours on the water, we've got time to try different spots and techniques to maximize your chances of a stellar day.
Trolling, Kite Fishing, and More
We'll use a variety of fishing methods to target these offshore species. Trolling is bread and butter out here - we'll set lines with a spread of ballyhoo and lures, cruising at the right speed to entice strikes from wahoo, tuna, and mahi-mahi. When conditions are right, we'll break out the kites. Kite fishing is a South Florida specialty that's deadly effective for sailfish. We'll fly baits right on the surface, mimicking fleeing baitfish. When a sail spots that easy meal, hold onto your hat - the ensuing acrobatics are something you've got to see to believe. For the bottom dwellers like amberjack, we might drop some live bait down deep. Whatever the fish are biting on, we'll adapt to put you on them.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Atlantic Sailfish: The star of the show, sailfish are the reason many anglers come to Fort Lauderdale. These acrobatic fighters are known for their incredible aerial displays when hooked. They average 6-8 feet long and can swim up to 68 mph. While we can catch them year-round, peak season is November to May. The thrill of watching a sailfish light up, with its giant dorsal fin slicing through the water, is unforgettable.
Mahi Mahi (Dolphinfish): Don't let the name fool you - these aren't dolphins, they're hard-fighting fish that taste amazing. Mahi are known for their vibrant colors, changing from electric blue and green to yellow as they're pulled from the water. They're most common in summer and fall, often found near floating debris or weed lines. Mahi are great for both experienced anglers and newbies, as they're aggressive feeders and put up a great fight.
Greater Amberjack: These bruisers are the heavyweights of the reef. Found year-round, but peaking in spring, amberjack are strong fighters that will test your arms and back. They typically hang around wrecks and reefs, so we'll target them with live bait or jigging. Landing a big AJ (as we call them) is a real accomplishment - they can weigh over 100 pounds!
Wahoo: Speed demons of the ocean, wahoo are like underwater rockets. They're seasonal visitors, most common in late summer and fall. Wahoo are prized for both their fight and their taste - they're considered one of the best-eating fish in the sea. We often catch them while high-speed trolling, and when one hits, you'll know it. The initial run can strip hundreds of yards of line in seconds.
Great Barracuda: With their menacing teeth and lightning-fast attacks, barracuda are the wolves of the reef. They're here year-round and love to hang around structure. Catching a big 'cuda is always exciting - they hit hard and fight dirty, often leaping and thrashing at the surface. While not typically kept for eating, they're a blast to catch and release.

Fort Lauderdale's offshore waters are some of the most productive fishing grounds in Florida.

Plus, with a private charter, you've got the flexibility to focus on whatever species you're most excited about.

Learn more about the species
Atlantic Sailfish
These sleek speedsters are a top target off Fort Lauderdale, growing up to 10 feet long but usually around 7-8 feet. You'll find them in the warm Gulf Stream waters, often near the surface down to about 60 feet deep. Spring and winter are prime sailfish seasons here. Anglers love 'em for their acrobatic jumps and blistering runs - hooking one is like tying into a rocket! They're catch-and-release only, so we focus on the thrill of the fight. To boost your chances, we'll often slow-troll live bait like goggle-eyes or pilchards. When a sail shows interest, let it eat for a few seconds before setting the hook. Be ready for that initial run - it's a rush you won't forget!
Great Barracuda
These toothy predators are Fort Lauderdale staples, usually 2-4 feet long but can hit 6 feet. You'll find them from shallow reefs out to deeper wrecks, often hanging near the surface. They're around all year but more active in warmer months. 'Cudas are known for their lightning-fast strikes and acrobatic jumps. Anglers love the visual thrill of seeing one chase down a lure. We often use tube lures or spoons for their flashy action. When a 'cuda follows, speed up your retrieve to trigger that predator instinct. Watch out for those teeth when landing one - we always use pliers and gloves. Local secret: on slow days, chumming with cut bait can really fire up the barracudas and get the action going.
Greater Amberjack
These bruisers are like underwater linebackers, usually 30-50 pounds but can top 100. They hang around wrecks and reefs from 60 to 250 feet deep. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but you can catch them year-round. Amberjacks are pure power - hooking one is like trying to stop a freight train. Expect a hard dive straight for the bottom. Anglers love the challenge, but be ready for a workout! We typically drop live bait or heavy jigs. Once hooked, pump and wind steadily to gain line. Don't give 'em an inch or they'll run you into the structure. Local trick: when they're being stubborn, sometimes a noisy topwater plug will trigger a bite. Just be ready to hold on tight when they hit!
Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish
Mahi are some of the most beautiful fish you'll ever see, with electric blue and gold colors that fade fast once they're landed. They usually run 15-30 pounds around here, but can get up to 50 or more. You'll find them year-round, but summer and fall are best. Look for floating debris or weed lines - mahi love to hang around structure. They're fast, acrobatic fighters that'll test your skills, and the meat is top-notch for the grill. We usually troll with ballyhoo or lures, but sight-casting to a school is a blast if we spot them. Pro tip: when you hook one, keep it in the water to draw in the whole school. You might land several before they wise up and scatter!
Wahoo Fish
Wahoo are the speed demons of the sea, streamlined torpedoes that can hit 60 mph in short bursts. They average 3-5 feet long but can push 8 feet. You'll find them in deeper offshore waters, often near dropoffs or floating debris. Late summer through fall is prime wahoo season here. Anglers love 'em for their screaming runs and tasty white meat. We usually troll at high speeds, 12-15 knots, with wire leaders to handle those razor-sharp teeth. Lures that skip on the surface often trigger strikes. When you hook up, hang on tight - that first run is like hooking a missile! Local tip: try varying your trolling speed suddenly. That change often triggers a bite from a following wahoo.
