Reel in the Big Ones: Fort Lauderdale's Offshore Action
Ready to test your skills against some of the Atlantic's most sought-after gamefish? Our 4-hour private charter out of Fort Lauderdale puts you right in the thick of the action. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, we've got everything set up for a killer half-day on the water. We're talking sailfish, blackfin tuna, kingfish, wahoo, and barracuda - the kind of fish that'll have you telling stories for years to come.
What to Expect on the Water
From the moment we cast off, you're in for a treat. Fort Lauderdale's waters are teeming with life year-round, so there's always something biting. We'll head offshore where the big boys play, usually about 3-5 miles out. The boat's decked out with top-notch gear, and our crew knows these waters like the back of their hand. Don't sweat it if you're new to this - we'll show you the ropes and have you fishing like a pro in no time. And for you old salts, we've got the inside scoop on where the fish are hitting. With a max of 6 guests, you'll get plenty of personalized attention and time to battle those trophy fish.
Trolling, Kites, and Live Bait Magic
We mix it up out here, using techniques that'll put you on fish fast. Trolling's a big part of our game plan - we'll set out a spread of lures or live bait and cruise the productive zones. When the conditions are right, we'll break out the kites. It's a sight to see when a sailfish comes up behind that dancing bait. We also do some live baiting, especially for those hard-fighting kingfish and tuna. Our arsenal includes everything from light tackle for the smaller stuff to heavy gear when the big boys come to play. All the gear's provided, so just bring your A-game and maybe a lucky hat.
Top Catches This Season
Our regulars have been hauling in some monsters lately. Big Al landed a 50-pound kingfish that gave him the fight of his life. Sarah from Michigan hooked into her first sailfish - a 7-footer that put on an aerial show. And just last week, the Johnson family filled the box with enough mahi-mahi for a neighborhood fish fry. The fishing's been hot, and we're stoked to get you out there for your own trophy catch.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Greater Amberjack: These bruisers are the heavyweights of the reef. They hang out near wrecks and deep structure, often in schools. When you hook one, hold on tight - they're known for their powerful initial run that'll test your arms and your gear. Amberjack can top 100 pounds, though most we catch are in the 20-40 pound range. They're most active in the cooler months, but we can find them year-round. Anglers love 'em for their hard-fighting nature and the fact that they make great eating too.
Wahoo: Speed demons of the open ocean, wahoo are like the cheetahs of the sea. These streamlined predators can hit speeds of 60 mph and strike a lure so fast it'll make your head spin. We often find them near drop-offs and current edges. They're a year-round target, but peak season is late fall through winter. Wahoo can grow over 100 pounds, but even a 30-pounder will give you a thrill on light tackle. Their long runs and acrobatic jumps make them a favorite, not to mention they're delicious on the grill.
Great Barracuda: With their menacing teeth and lightning-fast attacks, barracuda are the perfect sportfish for adrenaline junkies. These torpedo-shaped predators lurk around reefs and often follow boats, looking for an easy meal. They're known for their aggressive strikes and will hit just about anything that moves. While they're around all year, summer months see them more active in shallower waters. Barracuda can grow over 5 feet long, and their aerial displays when hooked are something to behold. They're catch-and-release for most folks, but the fight is unforgettable.
Atlantic Sailfish: The crown jewel of Fort Lauderdale's offshore scene, sailfish are what dreams are made of. These majestic billfish are known for their stunning sail-like dorsal fin and their incredible acrobatics when hooked. We target them primarily in the winter months when they migrate through our waters, but you can find them year-round. Sailfish average 6-8 feet in length and put on a show like no other fish - leaping and tail-walking across the surface. It's all catch-and-release for these beauties, but the photos and memories will last a lifetime. Hooking up with a sailfish is the holy grail for many anglers, and there's no better place to check that off your bucket list than right here.

Atlantic Sailfish
Sailfish are the crown jewels of Fort Lauderdale fishing. These majestic billfish average 6-8 feet long and are known for their huge dorsal fin that looks like a sail. We find them in the blue water just offshore, often following bait schools. Winter and early spring are prime sailfish seasons here. They're incredibly acrobatic fighters, known for tail-walking across the surface and making spectacular leaps. Most anglers practice catch and release to conserve the population. We usually target them by slow-trolling live baits like goggle-eyes or pilchards. When a sail strikes, let it run with the bait before setting the hook. Once hooked, be ready for an aerial show. Local tip: Watch for frigatebirds circling - they often indicate sailfish feeding on bait balls near the surface.
Great Barracuda
Barracuda are the toothy terrors of our nearshore waters. They're long, skinny fish that can reach 5-6 feet, with a mouthful of sharp teeth that would make a shark jealous. You'll spot them lurking around reefs, wrecks, and channel edges, often in fairly shallow water. These ambush predators are here year-round but are especially active in warmer months. Barracuda are fun to catch - they hit hard and make blistering runs, sometimes leaping clear of the water. We usually target them by casting or trolling with shiny lures that mimic their favorite baitfish. When you hook one, be ready for some aerial acrobatics. Word of caution: handle with care and use pliers to unhook them. Local tip: try "walking the dog" with a topwater plug early in the morning - the surface strikes are explosive and a blast to watch.
Greater Amberjack
These big bruisers are a favorite target here in Fort Lauderdale. Amberjacks typically run 30-50 pounds but can reach over 100. You'll find them hanging around reefs and wrecks in 100-300 feet of water. They're aggressive feeders and put up an epic fight - expect to feel like you're battling a freight train. Fall and winter are prime seasons when the water cools down. Live bait like blue runners or speedos work great, but big jigs can also trigger strikes. When you hook one, get ready for a workout. These guys dive hard for the bottom, so maintain steady pressure and be patient. The meat is excellent for grilling or sushi. Pro tip: Work your jigs or live bait near the bottom, then rip it up fast - that often triggers a reaction strike.
Wahoo Fish
Wahoo are the speed demons of the ocean, capable of short bursts up to 60 mph. They're sleek, torpedo-shaped fish that typically run 4-5 feet long. You'll find them in blue water, often near the edges of reefs or drop-offs. Late summer through fall is prime wahoo season here, when the water warms up. These fish are prized for their blistering runs and acrobatic jumps when hooked. The meat is also fantastic - light, flaky, and great for fish tacos. To target wahoo, we'll troll at high speeds, around 12-15 knots, using lures that can handle the pace. Wire leaders are a must to prevent bite-offs from their razor-sharp teeth. When a wahoo hits, hang on tight - the initial run can smoke a reel if you're not ready. Local tip: Try trolling diving plugs near floating debris or weed lines, wahoo love to ambush prey in those areas.
