Great 4 hrs short ride to drift fish. We had a small group and calm weather so we were able to fish different depths, all spots we hit we caught fish. The crew explained how to use rods and reels and what to expect when the fish hit the line. Great day will take this charter again if I revisit Ft. Lauderdale

Friendly helpful crew! We loved the experience. We caught a good variety of fish. Would have preferred some monster sized but it was good fishing!! They knew the spots and set us up great!

Best crew ever, Capt Will, and Mike and Mikey!! First time and I would do it everytime I visit if I would have this crew. The experience was completely unreal and so much fun!!! The crew was top-notch and would recommend requesting them. They went out of their way to make it fun and successful. Shoutout to the crew of Capt, Will, Mike and Mikey.

Will and David handled our private charter. They’re great!

The group charters don't cancel. If you're not good in rough water, be mindful of weather conditions. Also, you should consider booking a private charter so you can decide if you or your group wants to return to port.

Jessica_P, Mar 2026
Such a fun experience!! Full boat of 40 people, but a lot of us caught multiple fish. The crew was amazing!

Fun

Mirasol_H, Mar 2026
So much fun we did the night fishing it was amazing getting out of the hot weather and having a nice cool breeze and seeing the city at night time was also amazing

Awesome time

Peter_F, Mar 2026
We loved it so much that we went on the second trip of the day. Mikey and John were fantastic deck hands highly recommend it.

We’d do it again!

Wonderful experience! The crew was so accommodating, fun, friendly, and knowledgeable! John and Christina and are the best! Highly recommend 👍

Awesome trip. Bring wet wipes or a rag to wipe your hands.

Amy_T, Feb 2026
It was so much fun. The captain got us positioned over fish and the crew did everything to make us successful. They even brought different fish that others caught around so all could see how beautiful they were. The coolest was a rabbit pufferfish! I caught 3 fish and then after they cleaned them up and recommended a restaurant to go to have them cooked. They tasted amazing! 10/10 recommend. Only advice is to bring an old rag or some wet wipes with you if you don't want your hands smelling like squid all day as that is what they had us use for bait.

Awesome time, but a little more help would be nice!

James_C, Feb 2026
Not much help teaching people what to do. There is only about 3 or 4 deckhands helping 60+ people. We are experienced, so no issue with us, but saw others struggling and was hard to find help when you needed it.

It’s an amazing experience I have intentions of returning to do another fishing trip with them as my family felt most comfortable and the experience for the kids was cool

Had a great time!

Angela_M, Jan 2026
Great experience! We had a lot of fun and the captain, John, and Josh made sure to put us on some fish.

Best Fishing Day!

Amy_P, Jan 2026
Best day!!!! Took my 2 teenage boys for the morning fishing trip. We had the perfect day fishing! Captain Mike along with his crew Christine & Josh were the best! They had us reeling them in all day 🎣🐠 Highly recommend Catch My Drift! We ‘ll be back!!

Super fun - would do again.

Catherine_B, Jan 2026
Really enjoyed the experience. The trip itself offered marvelous views of the coast. The tour operator went to three different fishing areas to improve our success. We saw a ton of cool wildlife, and the operators were very helpful.

Too crowded

David_S, Jan 2026
The boat was way too crowded, so few passengers caught anything the whole day, and our lines kept getting tangled. This would have been far better if they had not over packed the boat. The staff was great, and the on-shore staff was especially friendly.

Great time

Misty_H, Dec 2025
Christina, Josh and the Captain were fantastic. While we didn’t have much luck with catching the fish, they kept us entertained with others’ fish and teaching us about puffer fish, squirrel fish (poisonous fish) and so much more.

It was okay, no big fish...

J_S, Dec 2025
It was okay, no big fish was caught. But it was a great experience for me. It was a gift from me to my bf and dad. They enjoyed themselves so I was cool with that.

Great time was had by all!

Melissa_B, Dec 2025
Great experience- my kids are already asking to come back to Ft. Lauderdale just for this fishing trip. We right so many cool fish, and Christina and Brian were great!

Here Fishy, Fishy 🐟

Phillip_G, Nov 2025
Check in at main parking lot booth next to 7-Eleven. Get drinks and snack and put on sunscreen at hotel before it gets hot. Captain and assistants were great very fun experience.

Great time!! Exceptional Captain/Crew/Staff

Sarah_P, Nov 2025
Had a great time! The captain & crew were great! Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. Took time to show us & tell us about the different fish we caught. Will bait all your hooks if you don’t wanna touch the bait! We caught a lot of fish too! The crew went above and beyond to ensure a great experience. So much fun, will definitely do again on our next trip. Highly recommend!

Fun with helpful crew. Great way to boat the ocean a bit

Cheyenne_B, Oct 2025
Fun! We didn’t catch much but I think that’s the nature of fishing. It was very relaxing and interesting coming from Tennesseans who aren’t used to ocean fishing.

Wonderful trip

Karen_N, Aug 2025
Amazing experience! Fun trip with an amazing crew! Caught a bunch of fish, knowledgeable crew and we were well taken care of! Definitely will be doing this fishing trip again !

Good times!

Leyah_C, Aug 2025
Definitely recommend! Captain and crew are knowledgeable and very helpful. Can’t wait to go again!..

Amazing staff!

Tezlyn_R, Aug 2025
We didn't have a productive fishing day, we only caught one small fish, a big wad of seaweed and a piece of coral between the 2 of us, but it was a great experience. The staff and crew did all they could to assist everyone on the boat to make it a fun morning. We would do it again, the fish just weren't biting where we were. Others had success so all wasn't lost.

Good experience, but wish i would have caught fish.

Patrick_J, Jul 2025
Good experience overall. My son and I didn't catch any fish, but it's not the fault of the crew. A few other people caught fish. Boat left and got back on time.

Book now!!!

Brittany_A, Jul 2025
Once in a lifetime experience! I cannot recommend this place enough! We had originally booked the large group drift fishing but upgraded to the sport fishing due to it being less people. WORTH EVERY PENNY! Our captain Will and his mate Christina were amazing! It was a total of 6 people on the boat, that includes captain and mate. We caught a 7’2” Dusky Shark, it took 3 people to reel this thing in! They cleaned the fish you catch right there and you get to take it home at the end of your trip! Great people, awesome fishing; one hell of a memory!

Check in was very easy...

SHANISE_C, Jun 2025
Check in was very easy and the tour started on time, instructions were clear on how to use the fishing rods, we went to three different spots before we headed back in. This tour was a Father’s Day gift to my dad and he enjoyed himself. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone.

We did the upgrade for...

Nicholle_B, Jun 2025
We did the upgrade for the sport fishing on a smaller boat and it was well worth it! There were only 4 customers and 2 workers. It was personable and very fun! We caught 8 fish (6 king mackerel, 1 different type of makerel, and an 84 inch sailfish)! The workers Will and Christina were an amazing to fish with!

It is not "deep sea"...

Luis_M, May 2025
It is not "deep sea" fishing, but it is still very cool. The ship mates were excellent, very knowledgeable and helpful.
